Fat Joe released his first solo album in 15 years, ‘The World Changed On Me.’ He shares how his new work is consistent with his past work, his personal losses and how he’s dealt with them, working with Eminem, why he started ‘Fat Joe Talks’ and more!
Carl Lamarre:
We got a legend here. I’m talking about BX native, just chilling with VP Harris not too long ago, he hosted the BET Hip Hop Awards for the third consecutive year, heavy hitter, legend. Mr. Fat Joe.
Fat Joe:
You know, thank you. I resigned as host to the BET Hip Hop Awards because, no real sh*t, 2 Chainz said I’ve been monopolizing. So he said, “Yo, let me host. I know I could be a good host.” I said, “You know what my brother? You could be the host next year.
You passed the torch officially?
Yeah, I mean, BET, don’t know that. You know, side bar with 2 Chainz. He was like, “Yo, I really want to do that.” I was like, “No question.”
I love that. I love that. I feel like Chainz will be a good host, man. I mean, you held it down for three years, but it makes sense you pass the torch, because now you can focus on the music, and that’s why we’re here. New album, first one in nearly 15 years.
That sounds weird.
A decade and a half.
Everyone keeps saying that, but I mean, like, what I have ‘Plata o Plomo,’ that’s with Remy and then the Dre album, but I feel like I’ve been consistently working, but I guess this is my first solo in 15 years, that’s crazy. Man, it’s incredible, though. This album is consistent. This album is incredible.

Vybz Kartel:
You can’t even feel sorry for yourself like I didn’t have time to do that. I had kids to feed. I had family to take care of. I had my health issues. I was sitting in this position, you know, with the legs crossed in my cell. I was listening to the radio. He was like, “Yo, I think this is it.” This is Vybz Kartel. I’m here with Billboard. Come spend the day with me.
Kyle Denis:
Do you feel like the scene kind of stalled when you went away?
Yes, but it also opened up a portal for the new artists. I mean, it took a minute because Vybz Kartel’s presence is so powerful, maybe like 20 between 2016 then new artists started coming out one by one, and then the floodgates opened, like around 2020, but yeah, it took a while. So yes.
I heard you, you know, recorded one of your biggest songs in the past decade while you were away, “Fever.”
I’ve been recording, but initially I figured out how to record using an iPod, the little, small, flat ones. You know, the original rectangular ones. But a lot of time the sound was metallic because the cell didn’t have the padding like what a studio has to kill the sound, so it bounced all over the place. Then I figured out that I could use my mattress as a sponge over my head. That’s when the music started getting clearer.
