Jadakiss and Fat Joe are joining forces for a new venture that blends their decades of experience with candid, unfiltered conversation.
Their upcoming podcast, Joe & Jada, will explore music, sports, and culture with the sharp wit and perspective that has made both men enduring voices in hip-hop. The show premieres this week and will release new episodes twice weekly. It’s a joint production by Roc Nation and The Volume.
Fat Joe describes the podcast as something more than just talk. He promises a bold format filled with raw analysis, unexpected interviews, and behind-the-scenes stories that rarely reach the public.
“We’re bringing something real,” he said. “No filters, no gimmicks—just me and Kiss talking about the things we care about. This isn’t your typical podcast.”
Jadakiss echoed that sentiment, highlighting their long-standing friendship as the show’s foundation. “Joe and I go way back. We’ve been having these conversations privately for years. Now the world gets to hear it.”
He sees the podcast as an opportunity to show a side of himself that fans rarely see. “This is something different. A space to speak freely and spark real conversations.”
Both artists are no strangers to media. Fat Joe’s Instagram Live sessions during the pandemic evolved into the Starz series Fat Joe Talks, which brought hip-hop figures into raw, thoughtful conversations.
Jadakiss has quietly built a niche following with 2 Jews & 2 Black Dudes Review the Movies, his podcast with The LOX and ItsTheReal, where cultural commentary meets absurdist film reviews. The show gained momentum recently with new weekly episodes.
Joe & Jada is also likely to revisit a topic both hosts care deeply about—hip-hop’s current direction. In January, Fat Joe expressed unease about where some new rap is headed.
“I’m riding in traffic, hearing this stuff,” he said. “It felt like devil music. I don’t even know what’s going on. I support the youth, always will. But we had Lauryn Hill, Biz Markie, Rakim, Nas. Now everything sounds the same.”
Jadakiss weighed in during a February interview, using Kendrick Lamar’s Grammy-winning hit as a warning. “You see a record like ‘Not Like Us’ blow up, and suddenly everyone’s chasing that sound. That’s when the culture gets watered down. Some artists can do both—rap and sing. Some can’t. The game needs balance. Rap is for rapping.”
As Joe & Jada prepares to launch, the podcast promises to cut through the noise with honesty, history, and humor—offering fans of hip-hop and beyond a deeper look at two voices who helped shape it.
