Fat Joe & Dre discuss Jay-Z, "Coca Vision" podcast, "Pick It Up" single and more with HNHH TV.

Fat Joe's been pretty busy lately. The legendary rapper recently released his new single and video for "Pick It Up" and announced a new TIDAL podcast, "Coca Vision. We recently spoke to Fat Joe and Dre about new music as well as working alongside Jay-Z to push the culture forward after a decade plus of feuding. 

Fat Joe and Jay-Z beef was officially ended when the latter hopped of Remy Ma and Joe's "All The Way Up" remix in 2016. Since then, the two have been working closely on several endeavors including TIDAL's relief efforts for Puerto Rico during Hurricane Maria and now, Joe has his own podcast on TIDAL. Fat Joe says the fact they were able to put their beef behind them was due to a "coming of age."

"Man, I wish I was his friend 10 years a go," he said, "He's a great guy. You know, we text each other on Christmas [and] New Years. We tell each other how beautiful it is to have such a close relationship and a beautiful relationship and I wished we were friends sooner. It's been a beautiful experience."

He and Dre also speak on how they initially connected and built a relationship as well as Dre's favorite Fat Joe verse. You could check out Fat Joe's "Coca Vision" podcast here.
