Fat Joe is set to release his ninth solo studio album, Jealous Ones Still Envy 2 (J.O.S.E. 2) on April 7th 2009.
The album will be the third under EMI Music after bringing his Terror Squad Entertainment imprint to the label in 2006.
The artists that feature on the album include Lil Wayne, Ron Browz, Lil Kim, Fabolous, T-Pain and Akon, while much of the production comes from Jim Jonsin, The Incredibles and The Street Runners.
The first official single off J.O.S.E. 2 will be ‘One’ (featuring Akon) and a video has already been shot.
Fat Joe is currently scheduling a month-long national promo tour in support of J.O.S.E. 2, which will run from early March through the album’s release.
Dominic Pandiscia, senior vice president and GM of EMI Label Services is thrilled with the album, he said
“We are thrilled to be backing Fat Joe’s latest creation and continuing EMI’s relationship with him … He’s a significant musical and cultural force whose appeal cuts across so many different genres and fans. This is a great record and the response is terrific.”
