Joe Budden Lives Under a “Black Cloud” (Listen & Download)

Joe Budden, I'd like you to meet Kanye's nuts. Oh, you guys are already well acquainted? Nevermind then, I'll let you two get caught up.

Yep, that's right. Mr. Budden just announced he'll be dropping a new track every Monday leading up to the release of his highly anticipated "Mood Muzik 4" album (October 26 digital, November 9 retail), and he's calling this new series "Mood Muzik Mondays". (Hmmm...wonder where he got that idea?) Yeezy promotional campaign swacking aside, more Budden music muzik is a good thing, unless you're suicidal. In which case it's a very bad thing.

Anyway, on with the show. The first release off the "MMM" series is the, of course, dark "Black Cloud", a Zalezy & Megaman slow burner featuring more of the deeply passionate and rambling lyrical work we've come to expect from the man. At turns confident and self-loathing, this is some of that real Budden ish. Enjoy. Or not. You know what I mean.
