Verzuz Cheat Sheet: Fat Joe x Ja Rule
The unofficial “King of New York” title will be on the line once again this Tuesday, September 14, when two of the city’s most dependable hitmakers face off in another show-stopping Verzuz event. You could call Ja Rule vs. Fat Joe “Queens vs. the Bronx,” but that wouldn’t begin to encapsulate the impact each MC had on the city and the world at large. With their catalogs chock-full of street records, crossover smashes, and Ashanti collaborations, your average New Yorker would be hard-pressed to try and calculate whose voice they heard more on the radio. But that’s not what’s important anyway: On Tuesday, it will be about whose songs make you grab hold of whoever it is you’re watching with and scrunch up your face as you remember how crazy things would get when these songs dropped. Get reacquainted with the catalogs of Ja Rule and Fat Joe by way of the official Cheat Sheet playlist, as curated by Apple Music host Lowkey.
