Fat Joe returns with his finest release to date ‘Darkside Vol. 1’. Joey Crack has been slept upon in recent years, the loss of the legendary Big Pun robbed Joe of his sparring partner and it seemed that he would never reach the heights he did with The Terror Squad. But with the release of ‘Darkside Vol. 1’ returning to his hardcore roots has given Crack a new lease of life. The production is top notch, with beats from Cool & Dre, Just Blaze and DJ Premier. If you’re a fan of Grimy Hip Hop then please get this album.
