Fat Joe

Jose Antonio Cartagena, AKA Fat Joe, was born in The Bronx of Puerto Rican and Cuban heritage. He was popular in the New York-underground hip hop scene during the early and mid-1990s. He was also a member of the D.I.T.C. Crew ("Diggin' in the Crates"), along with well-respected rappers/producers Showbiz and A.G., Buckwild, O.C., Diamond D, Big L and Lord Finesse, and was featured on early records by various members.

With 2001's release of Jealous Ones Still Envy (J.O.S.E.), Joe scored two back-to-back hits with "We Thuggin'", which featured R&B superstar R. Kelly singing the chorus and "What's Luv?", which featured up-and-coming R&B/pop star Ashanti on its chorus and went on to become one of 2002's biggest pop hits.

Fat Joe has also appeared in several films, including the 2002 film Empire with John Leguizamo.

Fat Joe also released a Terror Squad self-titled album in September 1999. After several roster changes (including Big Pun's sudden death and the departure of Cuban Link and Triple Seis) Terror Squad released a second album, True Story, in July 2004. The single "Lean Back", which featured only Fat Joe and new member Remy Ma was a smash hit, reaching #1 on Billboard Singles Chart. The song was later remixed by Lil' Jon. .

In late 2004, Fat Joe scored another radio hit with his verse on Ja Rule's "New York", also featuring Jadakiss and a chorus taken from KRS-One's "100 Guns". In his verse, Ja Rule takes thinly-veiled potshots at 50 Cent, adding another chapter to their well-publicized feud. However, this led to further controversy as 50 Cent assumed that by collaborating with Ja Rule, his enemy, Joe and Jada were now aligning themselves against him and included them both in his new diss track, "Piggy Bank"..

In November 2006 Fat Joe released a new solo album, Me Myself & I. The album is a return to the hardcore Fat Joe that he was when he came into the game. The lead single is "Make It Rain" featuring Lil' Wayne which has been doing very well on the charts. .

Though lyrically Fat Joe is no Big Pun, he is indeed a hip hop success story, and though from New York he remains a true chameleon in the game as noted by his featured quote below.
