Joe Budden x Coldplay – “Back Against the Wall” and “Those That Are Dead”

I guess somebody really liked the track Joey did over the Coldplay “Lost” beat. I found these two blends that somebody put together.

The first track is “Back Against The Wall.” This song features lyrics from Joe’s track “Long Way to Go” off Mood Muzik 3 blended with Coldplay’s “Yes” off of Viva La Vida. The violin in this track sounds really good.

The second track is “Those That Are Dead.” This song features lyrics from Joe’s track “Send Him Our Love” off Mood Muzik 3 blended with Coldplay’s “42″ off of Viva La Vida. This is also an interesting blend.

I don’t know if there are going to be more tracks like this or if this is off of an upcoming mixtape. Either way, i’ll let yall know the scoop when i find out.
