Represent (Fat Joe album)

Represent is the debut studio album by American rapper Fat Joe da Gangsta. The album's lead single "Flow Joe" peaked number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100 by late 1993. In mid-1994, he released his second single "Watch the Sound" followed by "The Shit Is Real", featuring a remix by DJ Premier, which would appear on Joe's second album.

Critical reception
The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that, "as a gangsta, Fat Joe's tough delivery is convincing, but he doesn't exhibit anything approaching the lyrical complexity or narrative skills of such OGs as the two Ices from LA."
