Summary
In episode 123, we spoke with the legendary Joseph Cartagena aka Fat Joe. Along with being a Hall of Fame artist, he’s also one of the greatest A&R’s ever. He’s responsible for finding and nurturing the careers of Big Pun, Remy Ma, DJ Khaled, Cool & Dre, and Pitbull. He has reinvented himself during Covid-19 and currently has the hottest show on IG, which includes nightly interviews with the biggest names in entertainment.
In EYL 123 he walked us through his music career, he talked about the inner workings of running a record label, we spoke about his other businesses that he runs, his plans for opening an organic bakery, and more. He also talked about his trials and tribulations financially in the music game, the mistakes that artists make which causes them to go broke, and he explained in detail how an accountant and financial mismanagement caused him to go to federal jail. #fatjoe #music #hiphop
