Fat Joe's first single off his eleventh album is, "Another Round," a collaboration with Chris Brown. The Another Round Songfacts reports that it was his first Hot 100 hit for four years.
Fat Joe has also had major beef with his ex TS Crew member Cuban Linkz who was a part of Fat Joe TS Crew until they had a disagreement about money royalties and the pair had a fight and Fat Joe knifed Cuban Linkz on the side of his face. The beef has quiet down now but they are no longer friends and nor do they speak to each other.

Fat Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I could blow a couple dollars
She see these diamonds on my collar
She wanna fuck a fuckin baller
Ballin, She wanna fuck a fuckin baller [3x]
Ballin, Kilos in the attic chico
You know I beat the pussy up like them Dre beats
Its only right shorty fuckin with a fuckin baller
If its black card baby gon fuck tomorrow
Here's 10 stacks, feel like I bought her
But fuck it, me and Cafe' just left the border
5 million dollar house and I ain't talkin slaughter
Talkin paid in full bitch and I ain't talkin Porter
And that ghost got a stash box in it
200 on the dash fly by cops with her (Like ayye)
I be ghost ridin, got them hoes smilin
Bought that bitch a smart car now we both ridin
Ballin, She wanna fuck a fuckin baller [3x]
Ballin, Kilos in the attic chico
I get it from me prima
Yall niggas might have seen her
The cokin cowboys, they goin' La Marina
You fuck up her money, Oooh mama mia
Rather be burnt with gonorrhea
Than cursed with santeria
These my nina for that white girl like Chritsina's nina
Oops I mean nino, all the white boys
You know gardio, or like Rozay say that cocaina
Whip it back in the cocina (now we)
Ballin, She wanna fuck a fuckin baller [3x]
Ballin, Kilos in the attic chico
In Fat Joe's song "Ballin", he speaks about his love for cocaine and how it enables him to live a lavish lifestyle, attracting women who want to be with a "baller". He talks about how he will have access to more money after tomorrow when he receives more cocaine, and how it allows him to spend money on women who are attracted to his material possessions like the diamonds on his collar. He also talks about his sexual prowess, boasting about how he can "beat the pussy up" and how it's only right for women to be with someone like him if they're looking for a luxurious lifestyle.
Fat Joe continues to detail his lifestyle, mentioning how he and Cafe just crossed the border after spending $10,000 and how he resides in a $5 million dollar house. He also mentions how he has a stash box in his car and how he speeds by police (ghost ridin'). He then mentions how he and his associates sell cocaine to make money, with the reference to La Marina being a popular summer spot in New York City amongst the Latin community. The use of "cocaina" is a nod to the Spanish slang used for the drug. Fat Joe mentions how he prefers to spend his money on his "nina", or "white girl like Christina's nina," which is a reference to the singer Christina Aguilera's song "Genie in A Bottle". Through this song, Fat Joe infers that his lifestyle is materialistically luxurious and that he is involved in selling cocaine to sustain his lifestyle.
