The song "Drop Drop" was featured on the soundtrack for the movie Cradle 2 the Grave . Joe has hinted in many songs that he was a recovering drug addict and has reaffirmed his position several times through multiple outlets.
After his debut album, Budden's sophomore release titled ‘The Growth’ was hampered due to the label's problems with Joe and his Def Jam seniors not happy with the direction of his music. The production of the album appeared to end up in a development hell and was ultimately not released. Continued disagreements between Budden and Def Jam forced the two sides to part ways.cite web|url= http://www.yorapper.com/joe-budden-leaves-def-jam/ |title=Joe Budden leaves Def Jam |publisher=Yorapper.com |date=2007-10-10 |accessdate=2011-02-27 However, Budden managed to release the first and second installments of his Mood Muzik mixtape series while on Def Jam, and the series has been met with critical acclaim.cite news| url= http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/16/arts/music/16choi.html | work=The New York Times | title=New CD's | date=January 16, 2006
