Fat Joe and Dre head to the strip club in the new visuals for their latest – “Pick It Up.”

0

Dre and Fat Joe are known for making award-winning hits together, but they might have outdone themselves with their brand new single.

Months after serving up their club banger “So Excited,” Dre (Cool-N-Dre) and Joey Crack are back with their new 90s inspired track. Inspired by Tupac Shakur’s “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” from 1996’s All Eyez On Me, the club banger is an ode to exotic dancers who show off their moves for that paper. The single strip club-themed video featuring a bevy of lingerie-clad models in Las Vegas. Between scenes in front of a casino and in private rooms at a gentlemen’s club, the video pauses for a politically-charged moment.

     

Following his joint project with Remy Ma last year called Plata O Plomo, NYC veteran Fat Joe is back on his solo grind. Back in August, the NYC hitmaker revealed plans for his next album before he would go onto share the lead single “So Excited” with the Miami hit producer Dre.

Fat Joe has been around for over two decades, and the Terror Squad CEO has enjoyed a lengthy and impressive list of collaborators. From Big Pun, Eminem, Nas, Jadakiss, Lil Wayne, and more, Joe has basically been checking off a list of the game’s biggest names. Joe actually announced a new album called Family Ties, which is set to drop in the “springtime.” Sitting with frequent collaborator Dre, (who will be appearing on the bulk of the album), Joe teased that his upcoming project may very well include a feature from fellow veteran Jay-Z. He also revealed that the album’s vibe would be very much in line with the “classic” hip-hop sound, featuring a heavy implementation of sample-based production.
