NuTech Digital and Fat Joe Complete Exclusive Concert DVD Agreement
Over ten years of hard work and dedication has finally paid off for Fat Joe. From the streets of the Bronx in New York City, to the top of the Billboard charts, Joe Cartagena is reaping the rewards of his success. His 1993 debut album, "Represent" album represented the Latino demographic in the East Coast rap scene for the first time. In 2002, Fat Joe collaborated with hip hop's finest, to produce two major hits, "We Thuggin" featuring R. Kelly and "What's Luv" featuring Ashanti. Both hits topped the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart and catapulted his album, "J.O.S.E.: Jealous Ones Still Envy," to RIAA platinum.
Then in 2004, Joe teamed up again with Terror Squad, a group he co-founded in 1998, to produce the number 1 single "Lean Back." The hit track was a fixture on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart for 31 weeks, 3 of which were spent at number 1. The song earned Fat Joe and Terror Squad a Grammy nomination for 'Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group,' and garnered the award for 'Group Single of the Year' at the 2004 Source Awards. Fat Joe's dominance in the music industry continues with the release of his newest album "All or Nothing," which debuted at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 200 Album chart earlier this month. The hit album includes the chart toppers "So Much More," "Get It Poppin," featuring Nelly, and "Hold You Down" with Jennifer Lopez.
NuTech Digital CEO Lee Kasper stated, "Fat Joe is a unique musical talent, who continues to earn the respect of his peers in the music industry. We are very excited to add Fat Joe to our list of productions." He continued, "Now that our corporate restructuring has freed up some of our resources, we look at this deal as the first of many we intend to put into place."
Troy Carter Vice President of Sanctuary Management stated, "We're looking forward to working with Lee Kasper and the NuTech Digital team on Joe's first live concert DVD. Their quality is unmatched in this genre."
