In real life, halfway houses serve as living centers for drug users and the mentally ill who are fresh from prison and other likely institutions. The troubled individuals housed there are monitored in order to properly reintegrate them back with normal society. Joe Budden can most certainly relate to that process.

Since his lukewarm 2003 self titled debut, Joe has been keeping his name afloat through mixtapes. Now on the cusp of reentering the commercial Rap world, Halfway House (Amalgam Digital) serves as the non-prequel prequel to his much hyped and often delayed sophomore effort The Padded Room.
