Rapper Joe Budden rose through the mixtape circuit with his cocky bars and attitude, flirting with pop stardom before going on an independent run as a member of the supergroup Slaughterhouse.

• His biggest hit is the Just Blaze–produced 2003 single “Pump It Up,” which peaked at No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100, earned a Grammy nomination for Best Male Rap Solo Performance, and was featured on the soundtracks for 2 Fast 2 Furious and .
• After getting dropped by Def Jam, Budden went independent to continue his acclaimed Mood Muzik mixtape series.
• In 2008, he formed the supergroup Slaughterhouse with Joell Ortiz, Kxng Crooked, and Royce da 5’9”. The group’s second album, 2012’s Welcome To: Our House, arrived on Eminem’s Shady Records and reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
