Then his brother, who also did not differ in exemplary behavior, introduced the future rapper to hip-hop music and, having contributed to the creation of the pseudonym Fat Joe da Gangsta, arranged him into the DITC group

Having gained experience in the company of dark-skinned performers Lord Finesse, Diamond D, Buckwild and the duo Showbiz and AG, in the early 1990s, Joseph, who with a height of 185 cm weighed 136-140 kg, decided to start a solo career and entered into an agreement with Relativity Records.

In 1993, with the participation of musicians The Beatnuts, Diamond D, Lord Finesse and others, Fat Joe distributed his debut album Represent, which, thanks to the single Flow Joe, conquered the Billboard Hot Rap Singles hit parade. And the second disc, released 2 years later under the name Jealous One's Envy, hit the top ten of the R&B and hip-hop ratings and was marked 8th in the American Hot Rap Tracks chart.

This result allowed Fat Joe, along with Foxy Brown, Keith Murray and Prodigy from the Mobb Deep team, to appear in the remix of LL Cool J - I Shot Ya and meet his Latin American colleague who became known as Big Pun. In 1998, this singer helped Joseph in recording the third studio album Don Cartagena, which, due to the active radio rotation of most of the songs, received a gold certificate from the RIAA.
