Fat Joe spoke with Power 106 about his late friend and collaborator. The Diggin’ In The Crates crew member even named Big L’s verse from “The Enemy” as his all time favorite.

“He’s the only artist I ever did a song with who threatened me before I did the song with him,” said Fat Joe. “He told me, ‘Joe, you just went Gold. I’m gonna take all your fans.’ So I had to step my game up at D&D Studio, right there on the spot.”
