No Love Lost is his first solo album since 2009's Escape Route it concludes a four-album arc that goes back to Halfway House and Padded Room.
Then came Slaughterhouse-his supergroup with Royce Da 5'9", Crooked I, and Joell Ortiz-and now Joe's famous again. He maintained a cult-like following despite limited sales. Known for his highly personal, Eminem-esque wordplay about his struggles with substance abuse, mental illness, and high-drama women, he continued recording independently over the years.
