Riding high off their Grammy nominations, Fat Joe and Remy Ma release their Plata o Plomo album.
Along with the lead single “All the Way Up” featuring French Montana and Infared, the project (which means “Silver or Lead” in Spanish) is made up of 12 tracks showing the Terror Squad rappers are just as relevant as ever.
Other features come from Ty Dolla $ign, Sevyn Streeter and Kodak Black.

Fat Joe and Remy Ma have what might possibly be the song of the year (or at least the collaboration of the year) in “All the Way Up.” The track gave the rappers multiple Grammy nominations, making Remy Ma the only female rapper with a nod this year. The dynamic duo has kept their momentum going throughout 2016 and are looking to take that swing into the next year with their Plata O Plomo album, due out February 10.
This information comes with the official iTunes pre-order, which also shared the project’s cover art and tracklist. Plata O Plomo — which is Spanish for “Silver or Lead” — is made up of 12 tracks and includes an all-star cast of guest features. French Montana appears on “All the Way Up” of course and the project’s other single, “Cookin.” Ty Dolla $ign assists on “Money Showers” and other stars lending a hand on Plata O Plomo include Kent Jones, Sevyn Streeter, BJ The Chicago Kid and The-Dream.
In an interview from March, Fat Joe hyped up the project, saying it could compare to any collaboration between two titans.
“The album is the best album coming out,” he said. “It should give inspiration to everybody in New York City. This shit is phenomenal. Remy’s gonna be rated top. They gonna ask to see if she’s the best rapper on Earth, male or female. That’s how bad she’s going on this album. It’s so fuckin’ incredible, when people hear this album, this shit is so fuckin’ crazy. I feel like God blessed us … It’s like if Snoop or Dre did a new album. Kanye and Jay Z did a new album.”

Can somebody with a little more street cred write this articles ? smh Plata o Plomo doesn’t mean “SILVER OR LEAD” it means “MONEY OR BULLETS” FYI, you can still Edit that and look good Hip HOp dx
It does mean “Silver or Lead” pendeja but the connotation is obviously understood.
For those who don’t know “plata o plomo” is a term used by Mexican narco gangs against the citizenry. It’s basically a threat. Those living/doing business in gang territory have 2 options: either pay us the bribe we ask for, plata (as in the silver coins are made of) or get the plomo (the lead bullets are made of).
“For those who don’t know” – Oh, we know. We just don’t care.
Actually it was a term coined by Pablo Escobar not Mexican gangs.
You’re 100% correct. Mr Escobar and his Medellin Cartel cohorts originated the term, I never said the Mexican Capo’s invented it. At the same time Pablo and his henchmen have since vanished over 2 decades now, its the Mexican narcos who have kept the term alive and well.
together they have hit after hit record so it makes sense to make an album I want to see what that last song and the one with sevyn streeter is going to sound like though, they got my $
this guy really wearing a table cloth shirt on that cheap ass cover LMAO
That cover looks low budget. lol
Remy Ma has such amazing large breasts i would love to suck on them all day everyday for the rest of my life..
Another example NYC rappers who are lost and desperate. probaly weak features, trap beats etc. Seems like rappers dont grow up and stay making lame ass songs about their life as criminals, pimps, killers etc. at a certain age comes wisdom but not in hiphop they stay childish
Nas? Common? E-40? Cube?
Yeah no lie about dose boobs bro
And not 1 east coast feature. Probably not one east coast producer. Joe has been some shit since Lean Back and im sure this is about 12 Lean Backs.
French in the house tho
By the way i think it’s mad suspeck how Papoose is always wearing a hat.. dude might be rockin the dr. phil hairline.
Lmao, yeah he definitely rockin the infamous “Dr Phil hairline”
And you fools care, why? Worry about your own damn lives.
Damm Remy fine af. Love to fuck her good. She most definitely got a side nigga or two, as Pap alien head lookin azz can’t satisfy that sweet pussy.
This is bout 6 months late All The Way Up was banging in june/july y the wait all those features look like absolute garbage and am i the only person that thinks Remy the most overrated female rapper around? Even before she went to jail she was so average sounding to me real basic bars am i the only one hearing this………….whatever no one gon reply i commented too late like this album release
You are the only one hearing this. She is the best. I just preordered on amazon! I can’t wait for this album …. please tell me what other albums are on the radar for 2017 …… none
Dark that is the absolute dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. You obviously have showcased that you know absolutely nothing and don’t pay attention. Literally everyone is gonna drop this year. Just name a rapper and they’re dropping this year. Nas, Eminem, Jay-Z, Lloyd Banks, Raekwon, Cyhi The Prince. Prolly get a random Kendrick project outta nowhere, Schoolboy Q. Like, what dude?! Lupe just dropped, Joey Badass is comin, Big Sean just did, C5 could be any year now lol, GOOD Music, Kanye (as terrible as it will be, it will still drop). So please explain wtf u were talking about…
So u can’t enjoy the music unless theirs a popular current song out?! Shut yo trend hoppin ass up.
I agree with the album being late . But excuse me Remy is not overrated. She the only female still spitting like then charlie Baltimore , rah digga ..and vintage foxy brown type shit. And she got the street cred.
Who are the features? I guess TS really did die with Pun. I never considered True Story a true TS album either.. with a bunch of leftover niggas only good thing bout that album was a verse from Pun and Big L.
And yes i am fully aware this is not a TS album but a Fat Joe and Remy Ma album. I was simply trying to point out how Joe went from the good stuff with Pun and rest of the TS to this crap
After listening to the full album twice, i can honestly say shit is trash. Half of the tracks are for the ladies. Beats are shitty. The lyrics.. “..call you José / cuz you do what the hoes say”. Now, granted, i did not have high expectations. But it’s even worse than i expected. They really set the bar low (pun intended) with this shit. I mean i always knew Joe wasn’t a lyricist and all that, but still i enjoyed his music all the way up (see what i did there) to Jealous Ones Still Envy (J.O.S.E.). After that it’s just been extra bad. This project, to me, was the final nail on his coffin. He should have realised to quit before it was too late.
Even if this album was co produced by Pete Rock and DJ Premier, you would have hated it. Cause nothing can ever be good. It’s either classic or trash depending on what the dick riding, trend hoping fans say…
Truth hurts? Sorry if you think this is the OMG ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2017 but i do not. As much is it angers you, people’s views about things might oppose yours. That’s what makes this experience on this planet so amazing. diversity of views on various subjects. I understand that in your socialist utopia there is only one truth and everything is else is hate speech, and that’s the direction the JWO is heading us, don’t worry you will get your wish. But in 2017 we still have a right for our opinions – even if they differ from yours or the official narrative.
Im dead you said JWO…how many caught that Ether
That’s how i roll yo, tellin it like it is
You just proved my point. I never said album if the year. It’s people like who speak in hyperbole and sweeping generalizations because they can’t articulate nuance that are taking us in the wrong direction. That’s how I roll
I hope to see an *honest* review of this here on HHDX. Emphasis on honest. That means no way will you give this anything over a rating of three. No three and a half. I’m not sayin this is even worth a three – but the moment you review this anything over a three it is obvious it’s a paid ‘review’
Fun Fact: RySoValid is Fat Joe’s son Ryan. Joe and Remy were on Wendy Williams Show some time ago promoting this album and Joe said about the track “Cookin'” – “My son Ryan wrote the hook!”. So these days “It look like i been cookin'” qualifies as a hook. And no i do not watch Wendy Williams show, the clip was on Youtube were i stumbled upon it (Youtube suggestion after watching their music video).
Due to the fact that you had to elaborate that you do not watch The Wendy Williams Show… mofo… it is likely that you do clown!
Album is a joke. Some 43 year old rappers talking about their riches and there life as big time drugdealers. NYC rap is today a joke.
Shut up
Apparently you haven’t heard of Dave east..
Lloyd Banks literally just put on a marathon of extremely high quality NYC rap from September until now with AON:LIU, Halloween Havoc 3 and then the blue Friday series for 10 weeks and you say NYC rap is trap right now? Go kill yourself kid, what an ignorant moron. But I agree to the fact that Fat Joe sucks and he gets over emotional about how bad he is so he hypes it instead.
Halloween Havoc was a dumpster fire. You are the Ray Charles of ears
Lloyd Banks? Fuck that droopy face ass nigga dude look like a garden gnome lol he ain’t been relevant for over a decade.. On Fire was a long ass time ago
Which shows you have absolutely no clue what has been going on for a very long time. You’re right they never made TOS by G-Unit or HFM2 w/ Beamer Benz or Bentley. Then 2015 took a shit on everybody with HH2. You are fucking clueless. No wonder why u mad.
Shit is trash
11 Tracks and all of them are features. Looks more like Various Artist Compilation somone put together with Joe and Remy most featured than an actual Album.
He really compared them two making an album to snoop and Dre lmao. Remy is pretty good but Joe wack as fuck. All the way up had a good beat and a catchy hook, that’s about it.
Every single track!
the article says kodak black is on this but i don’t see it anywhere on the track listing lol not that we’re missing anything
Man what happened to fat Joe
His ghostwriter died on February 7, 2000.
Very disappointed. Was expecting good old NY style hip-hop void of trap style beats and softie cheesy hooks. There’s plenty of both. I hate when older rappers try to appease the younger folk. Shit aint selling now like it used to regardless.. so there’s no point in pandering for the young folks to stream your shit. Stick to your core fan base and don’t water your stuff down. Unfortunately this is not the strategy they followed.
“Was expecting good old NY style hip-hop void of trap style beats and softie cheesy hooks” We did get sum of dat with dude on D.I.T.C. Studios/Sessions releases in 2016. Man even The LOX was rapping over shitty trap beats lately smh
Joe be looking like a malnourished extra in Narcos
It look like Kent jones ghost writ fat joes verses the first 4 tracks were good after that it’s a soft chick album. They should of dropped the album in September. They should of had a solo track each on the album with a dope producer like premo or timberland where was Scott storch. Anyway guess we have to wait til nas drops a album.
Beat my fire votes bitches….i win
Fuck hip hop and shoes and religion and a race and the world and dog food and nickolodeon and non pornographic material.
Cover looks hideous.
