Def Jam

Def Jam is the record label to which Joe Budden was signed during the time he released his debut album, as well as the first two installments of the Mood Muzik set. Def Jam was wholly uninterested in promoting Joe, and after a change of management, the two parties split. Def Jam went on to continue to be a driving force in hip-hop. Joe Budden went on to make songs about how he wants to kill himself.
