A year ago, things didn't look too good for Fat Joe. Rumors circulated that Remy Ma was unhappy in his crew, and not even a duet with Nelly could help the rotund emcee get it poppin' on the charts.

How quickly things change. Joey Crack just inked a deal for his own label and will release his seventh album, 'Me Myself & I,' on Nov. 14. "Terror Squad Entertainment is gonna do amazing things," he said. "I am so happy to be in control of my career."

Dre of production team Cool & Dre thinks '07 will be good to his friend. "Fat Joe is a superstar. We didn't get people to buy millions of records for him, but his new album is incredible," he told AOL Music while attending Orlando's TJ's DJ's Music Conference.

TS member DJ Khaled agrees. "I feel like some people overlook him because he's been in the game so long. But I think he's one of the best artists out there."

'Me Myself & I' also features beats from Scott Storch and the Runners, plus guest appearances from The Game and Lil' Wayne. The first single, 'Make It Rain,' is out now.
