“Really Fat Joe is my main inspiration right now,” illa Da Producer told AllHipHop.com. “I was giving everybody beats for a minute and he was really the first person to pay attention, like ‘you’ve got something.’ That’s the big homie for life.

“We’ve got more records as soon as Joe get out,” illa said of Fat Joe’s new, untitled album. “We got work with Timbo [Timbaland]. It’s a big project, it’s going to be a real big album. He [Fat Joe] said it’s one of his favorite albums he put together yet. We haven’t put a name on it , because its such a special body of work to him.”

On August 26, Fat Joe surrendered to authorities to serve a four-month prison sentence for failing to pay $1 million in taxes between the years 2007 and 2008.

According to illa, Fat Joe’s 20-plus years in the Hip-Hop industry will help him when he is released from prison.
