Fans have come to expect new music from Fat Joe every year. Before his hiatus from releasing albums, Fat Joe was putting out a new album on a yearly basis. Since 2010, however, Fat Joe has only released mixtapes, but they have led to some tracks getting pretty big radio play and attention.
Last year, Fat Joe built plenty of momentum heading into the release of The Darkside, Vol. 3, which he released right before his prison sentence. At the end of 2013, Fat Joe surprised his daughter when he was released from prison early. Free again, Fat Joe came back home and started a new business venture and officially made amends with 50 Cent.
Fat Joe recently took a trip to Philadelphia and he ran across some interesting places during his time out. Joe is a relatively average name and Fat Joe was once simply Joe and he took his weight in stride with his name. The only difference between him and the owner of the Philadelphia sandwich shop was that Fat Joe from The Bronx became a hip hop icon.
