Fat Joe is back with his first solo album in nearly 15 years.
On Friday, December 13, Joey Crack debuted his brand-new studio album The World Changed On Me via RNG/Empire. The album cover is a tribute to his late brother Angel Cartagena, who passed away last month. Joe starts off the 11-track album with the braggadocio intro "Talking Hot" with Cool & Dre and newcomer Karma Nova. His album continues with other collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign, Chris Rock, Remy Ma, Babyface, Tony Sunshine, Tuggawar, Anitta and DJ Khaled. He wraps things up by paying homage to Angel in "They Don't Love You."
The World Changed On Me arrives five years after he released his joint album with Dre, Family Ties. The project was led by the Latin-inspired banger "YES" featuring Cardi B and Anuel AA. Joe and Dre also teamed up with Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Lil Wayne, Jeremih, and others. His 11th studio album also arrived nearly 15 years after he dropped his last solo LP The Darkside, Vol. 1.
Fat Joe first informed fans about his new album during an interview with TMZ in July. He debuted his single "Paradise" and performed it live for the first time with Anitta and DJ Khaled at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. Two months later, Joe dropped his fresh collaboration with Babyface "I Got You."
