Fat Joe is among the rap veterans dropping new music this year, and he has now revealed that his next album is just weeks away from going live.
On Wednesday (July 10), a reporter for TMZ caught up with the Terror Squad boss in Los Angeles to talk about his peers such as Nas, DJ Premiere, LL Cool J, Common and Pete Rock all releasing new projects in 2024.
“Breaking news: Fat Joe be dropping a[n] album in August, too, so put me in that list of pioneers and legends and icons,” he shared.
Check out the clip below:
The 53-year-old MC released his last album back in 2021, and stated the very next year that he didn’t plan on releasing fresh material anytime soon.
Beyond music, Joey Crack and E-40 made an appearance at a Joe Biden rally in North Carolina. A day after the 81-year-old Democrat debated Donald Trump as part of the 2024 presidential election, the two rappers performed at an event for his campaign.
About the alliance, an official working for the veteran politician’s team referred to 40 and Joe as “legends of the music industry, who understand the importance of utilizing their platforms to ensure their fan base understands the stakes of this election.”
Earlier this year, the New York City native and Kamala Harris got together to discuss the legal repercussions of marijuana possession. In mid-March, the rapper moderated a closed-door meeting with the vice president, Kentucky governor Andy Beshear and a number of people who have been pardoned for previous weed-related convictions.
“This issue is stark when one considers the fact that on the schedule currently marijuana is considered as dangerous as heroin,” Harris said during the public-facing part of the event. “Marijuana is considered as dangerous as heroin and more dangerous than fentanyl, which is absurd. Not to mention patently unfair.”
About the discussion, the Bronx icon told the press: “When the vice president calls me, I stop everything.”
Much respect to Fat Joe and what he has done but to be honest I don’t think nobody is waiting and holding there breath for a new Fat Joe joint. Carry on!!!
