Whether because of his early ’08 beef with 50 Cent [click to read], or a missed opportunity connecting with fans, Fat Joe’s Elephant in the Room [click to read] failed to live up to expectations in quality and in sales [click to read]. Now, Joey Crack is looking to bring back his flare on Jealous Ones Still Envy 2.

Speaking with Jenny Boom Boom of Hartford, Connecticut’s Hot 93.7, Fat Joe explained his intentions for the sequel of J.O.S.E. saying, “‘Jealous Ones Still Envy’ was my biggest album and I haven’t did no album to this day that I felt I made music as big as that. So I just went hit mania on this one right here. It feels great.”

The album, tentatively scheduled for an April 7 release, will feature a handful of hit makers that back up Joe’s claim, including Lil Wayne, Fabolous, T-Pain, and producers like Ron Browz and the Street Runners. To get fans ready for his new album, Fat Joe will also be going on a mini-tour throughout the next month.

Fat Joe’s J.O.S.E. 2 will be released on EMI Music.
