Joe Budden to Release 'Mood Muzik 3: The Album'

While some know Joe Budden from his Grammy nominated single Pump It Up off his self-titled debut in 2003 on Def Jam, others know Joey most for his fan-favorite Mood Muzik mixtape series. With the most recent one being Mood Muzik 3: For Better Or For Worse [click to listen].

Fans of the series will be happy to hear that Budden has inked a deal with Amalgam Digital to release an official retail version, entitled Mood Muzik 3: The Album, on February 26^,2008.

The retail version will contain unreleased material as well as full versions of the songs that faded out on the mixtape (Ventilation and All of Me). On top of that, all tracks will be without DJ voice overs.

With the Mood Muzik series gaining mass attention, this is just our effort to maximize on awareness. Amalgam understands our vision, as we do theirs, so this will be first of many ventures to come. We have a full length album entitled Padded Room coming second quarter 2008. Were prepping for a big year are you in that mood yet?!?!
