Before I did anything I called him and I think 50 would even respect that. And he’s [Fat Joe] is like ‘nah its love there aint no problem with 50, do your thing.’ That’s just how I get down.”

Rico Love described his new record as being a “party record” that will help people celebrate life and have a good time.
