Joe Budden, ‘Focus’ – Forgotten Summer Songs of the 2000s
In 2003, Joe Budden was one of the most talked about upcoming artists coming out of Jersey City, N.J. 'Focus' truly started his career as the beat rang out of cars passing through the streets as the summer heat increased.
The release of 'Pump It Up' and a bad remix featuring LL Cool J killed its buzz, but during that time it was on everyone’s playlists.
