Joe and Jada

Fat Joe and Jadakiss sit down with Fetty Wap, who pulls up to Joe and Jada fresh out of a four-year bid with a new team and a new album ‘Zavier’ that dropped everywhere on March 27th. Fetty breaks down what it took to get his mind right and get back to the Fetty that took the world by storm with his debut album in 2015. Joe makes the case that Fetty is on the level of Nelly and 50 Cent and should be credited with creating his own wave of hip hop.

Joe and Jada also get into the ugly side of the industry, artists getting locked into bad deals and accountants robbing them blind, and what every young artist needs to know before they sign anything.

The conversation goes deep on the passing of Oliver “Power” Grant from Wu-Tang, K-Slay's irreplaceable role in hip hop culture, and how losing people in your circle hits differently as you get older. Styles P talks about his health businesses, being both plant-based and anti-glizzy, and why it’s important to know where your food comes from. Plus, Joe clowns a crew member's loafer-sneaker hybrid for the better part of ten minutes, they discuss Bad Bunny's Super Bowl set and the politics blocking his film in Puerto Rico, and Jada insists that Styles and Sheek “perhaps” hear Joe’s famous Iron Sheikh story.
