Background

edit

After almost two years of pushing back scheduled release dates, it was finally released on December 15, 2007. According to Allhiphop magazine, Joe Budden's latest offering is proof that the artist has not missed a step.[1] Vibe Magazine called this mixtape "the sequel to the masterpiece", in reference to Mood Muzik 2: Can It Get Any Worse?.[citation needed] Shortly after the album's release, Budden released Mood Muzik 3.5, which is the same album without DJ tags, except for the exclusion of the Killa BH skits, and the inclusion of two new tracks—"4 Walls", which samples Eddie Holman's "Four Walls", and "Un4Given", which samples Metallica's "The Unforgiven". An official retail version—Mood Muzik 3: The Album—was released on February 26, 2008.
