Joe Budden Takes Shots At Drake With New Track 'Making A Murderer'

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Diss season is approaching despite Drake's 2009 plea for rappers of the new generation to, "coexist." Joe Budden just released a track aimed at Drizzy. Well, sort of. Let's rewind. Back in 2009, Drake made an appearance on Budden's web show Joe Budden TV. The on the rise rapper paid his respects to Budden and shook his head when asked if he was going to diss anyone, saying that he would never respond to a diss. This has obviously changed. The biggest and perhaps most high profile rap beef the Toronto rapper was embroiled in being the Meek Mill debacle (for Meek). Drake even won a grammy for his second diss track against the Philly rapper, Back to Back.

Then Drake dropped Views. It got some lackluster reviews from folks who complained that there was not enough progression musically or lyrically from the Toronto rapper. Read the review of the album by Big Ghosthere. Budden was one of the many who critiqued the album saying on his podcast that the project was, “real fuckin’ uninspired.” Then a video of French Montana playing a clip of a song surfaced. Drake can be heard rapping the lines from Budden's hit song Pump It Up.

Then 4PM in Calabasas was released. Budden felt that the track was taking subliminal shots. Fast forward to a few hours ago. Budden releases Making A Murderer (Part 1) on Soundcloud.  The track was produced by araabMUZIK. Which brings up the question if a part two will be hitting the internet, either from Budden or Drake.

In the meantime peep the track and check back for a possible second part.
