On the mixtape grind since his self-titled studio debut dropped in 2003, the battle-hungry East Coast representative put out three highly acclaimed mixtapes under the MOOD MUZIK moniker before releasing his retail sophomore album, MOOD MUZIK 3: THE ALBUM. THE ALBUM features a mix of some of the hottest cuts included on the third MOOD MUZIK mixtape installment and a handful of original tracks. “Un4given,” which sees Joe Budden flowing over a verbatim Metallica guitar loop, is one of the most audacious hip-hop tracks in years. Production comes courtesy of WMS Sultan, Mellow Madness, Shatek, the Klasix, Ryan Lugo, Soul Searchin, Dub B, and Wyks.
