Earlier this week, Joe Budden went on a skydiving excursion to announce a new album. Rage and the Machine will arrive on October 21st. Today, Budden shares a new single off Rage called “By Law.”
Rapping over a somber AraabMuzik beat, he opens up and gives the listener a sense of his current mind-state. Clarity and conflict can co-exist, it seems. "I'm thankful to still be passionate about Hip-Hop, but even more thankful that Hip-Hop is still passionate about me,” Budden explains on SoundCloud. “Soon we Rage.”
“By Law” is the album’s second single. (“Flex” was the first.) Give it a listen and share your thoughts in the comments.
Quotable Lyrics
See I'm something like a phenomenon
Go ahead and judge me, I ain't gotta honor y'all
Shit, I told the judge I'll sit, never mind a bond
Nigga I won't budge in this bitch like I'm a don
You can't con a con
