Terror Squad, the brainchild of veteran Latino Bronx rapper Fat Joe, began when Joe found his protégé and fallen superstar, Big Punisher in '96. Together the two made platinum magic on Pun's two classic albums, Capital Punishment and Yeeaah Baby!, and introduced the world to their BX-based crew, with their critically hailed, self-titled debut. Though Pun passed in 2000, as an unfortunate result of his obesity, Fat Joe has persevered against all odds both as a soloist, experiencing his greatest commercial success with his fourth album, ‘01's Jealous Ones Still Envy, and as a leader, holding Terror Squad together in spite of haters and skeptics who predicted a collapse after Pun's demise.
"In between every album people want to count me out," says Joe, "but I'm not going no where and this new album is the proof." In an exciting twist Fat Joe decided to add female battle rap champ Remy Ma (Pun's personal talent find) and R&B singer and heart throb, Tony Sunshine to T.S.'s lineup of Prospect and Armageddon. "I feel like my squad is better than ever right now, as far as lyrics," says Joe, "and I think that the addition of Remy and Tony really just gives us the diversity that we were missing last time."
