Whether you want to believe it or not, Joe Budden will be stepping in the battle circuit with his first match being against the veteran Hollow Da’ Don. In an interview with Mikey T The Movie Star, Hollow Da Don recommended that Eminem be seated live and center for his battle with a member of Slaughter House on deck, especially if Joey chokes.

“Em better be front row for this one,” he continues. “He gon’ wanna see this one. I might wanna tag him in...I might need that right now...Joe you might wanna have that—not Em, let’s be realistic—you might wanna have Royce, one of them niggas to tag in at least help you if you choke. I hope you don’t choke man.”-Carl Lamarre
