Initially planned to be an early July release, Fat Joe has opted to move Darkside Volume 1 back to July 27.
The Bronx veteran star confirmed to HipHopDX Tuesday evening, during an interview, that his album will include a “darker, grittier” sound, including production from Just Blaze, DJ Premier and Diggin’ In The Crates partner Buckwild. Cool & Dre also contributed extensively to Darkside, as Fat Joe revealed that the duo he helped introduce nearly a decade ago, expressed interest to return to work with their Terror Squad mentor.
Too Short, R. Kelly and Trey Songz are among the guest appearances on the album that reunites Joe with former Relativity Records executive Alan Grumblatt for the first time in 15 years.

1. Intro [Prod. by Scram Jones]

fuck a Fat Joe. just give us the guest features with the instrumentals and hooks on em (from the other artist). Fat Joe is a waste of sound waves.
the only thing good about “slow down” was the beat and the other rappers who did they remix to it (and of course Jeezy’s part).

fat joe is over
lil wayne is over!
lil wayne is locked up
Lil Wayne! did a joint wit joe in 06 and even lil wayne! couldnt give him a boost. i agree wit handyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Okey the last few Joe Album dissapointed me but as far as his old school work with Big L and diggin in the crates, Pun , Terrorsquad was mad nice. Real ganster walk and real gangster talk. Joe is the most street of all these lame dudes who claim they b gansta lol.
All tuff talk like Cuban Link .. but when the shit go down they b cut up like Nice & Smooth.
Even loud mouth 50 had to invent an escape route… but that shit u don’t read on the net.
Know why ? lol
Like M.O.P said Fat Joe is the real cosa nostra in hip hop
Big up to Fat Joe … the real are waiting 4 your return please let that R&B shit slide and come with that street soul
On top off that FUCK A HATER.
Didn’t mess wit Crack’s last album, but The Elephant in the Room was a real solid album. He def had some bangers on there…Can’t front on that 300 Brolic!!!
I’m checkin for this album…whenever it comes out, it’s gonna be tough!
I bet all his 600 fans will love it!
601 fans
602 fans
603 fans
604
605
606
Been a while since he’s dropped a good album, but he always drops a few heavy hitters like My Conscience and That White! This album sounds like it’ll be real great though, Joey always picks excellent production when he’s making bangers and darker tracks.. Guestlist seems a bit off for this, but we’ll see 🙂
607 yeeee
let me put it up again 608 And the lakeshow in 7 baby going to the parade cali love
608 NIGGA DO YOUR THING FAT JIDDOE MY NIGGA
Finally! A NYC album by Fat Joe. Hopefully this is a real hip hop album, unlike his releases that he’s had for the last decade. Sounds like he wants to take it back to his DITC roots.
fat joe needs a big glass of who cares. past prime coat tail riding fat fuck. I lost all respect for Fat Joe when he started swagger rapping down in Miami. That haha slowdown joint with Jeezy is bananas though.
JOEY CRAKK IS BACK! HE’S REAL HIP HOP, I BET THIS ALBUM IS GONNA BE HARD. TS FOREVER!
FAT JOE IS BACK=NEW YORK IS BACK= THE SOUTH BRONX IS BACK=RAP IS BACK! DITC-TERROR SQUAD-BIG PUN-BIG L-TONE MONTANA

#608 bitch3s keep it coming joey crack
the only thing real about fat joe he lies he is a hater and he will use what ever and who ever to make his self look real. im pretty sure he knew about co ross.i dont have a problem about ross job i knew some cos thats kool and be making moves and have no problem saying they work as a co ,he wasnt one of them that nigga.he is the fakest dude in rap he is the real cb4, but he does have talent.2010 cb4-ross,joe,kali,and plies,and they are close.
joe done fucked up wen he wen all south on us… he gotta stop tryna b ross (shit I fink weighs less haha size don’t matter if your rhymes r B.I.G feel me) and get back to bein crack!
Yo tru cats understand don Cartagena unlike you lolli pop luvin bitches. Dudes sayin Fat Joe lie ..you is the real fraud hiding behind your laptop. Joe can walk the real streets of the BX with his chain out , real talk.
I was not so happy with the R&B Joe but I hope he lay that to rest. We love and need the diggin in the crates Joe .
You know how ironic shit is when you hear people talk about Fat Joe is this that and a 3rd.
Learn from the real …and there aint none of them dissin Joe . The only ones dissin Joe is the B.E.P fanbase tight pants ,look mommy how tuff I am behind my laptop LMAO.
Now leave this site and go back to your gay habbits
Shout out to the Bronx, Brownsville, Staten all my real peeps
These young boys don’t know about Da Fat Gangsta… he takin it back to how he was when he first came in the game. This album is gonna bang. There is a reason some of these rappers have been in the game for 10 yrs plus.
I’m a Fat Joe fan who bought all of his albums except JOSE 2 cuz i didn’t like how it sounded, but the Elephant in the Room was tough!
608 NIGGA DO YOUR THING FAT JIDDOE
Although I didn’t like his last couple of albums that well, Fat Joe is solid and the track listing looks promising.

After hearing the songs with Jeezy and Trey, I am willing to check out this album it sounds promising.

12 whole songs. In a recession, an artist needs to give people more for their money. Either a double disc, DVD, 20 tracks, something.
