Rapper Fat Joe is charming, verbose, and direct. He is a man who radiates confidence. You wanna make a banger for the club? Fat Joe’s got em – Lean Back, What’s Luv? ft. Ashanti, and All The Way Up – just to name a few of his hits.
His list of credits and work spans from Jennifer Lopez to Ja Rule. He helped launch the careers of Big Pun, DJ Khaled and Remy Ma.
Joe’s in his mid 50s these days. A family guy who’s been married for 30 years. He’s been involved in various causes, like raising money for New York City public schools, advocating for marijuana reform at the White House, and hospital price transparency.
Fat Joe keeps busy and he still has bars – his latest record The World Changed On Me is out now.
The Bronx legend joins us on the latest episode of Bullseye to talk about collaborating with KRS-One , LL Cool J and his latest record. He gets into so much more like his childhood, his family and how he keeps it real after three decades in the game.
