Represent is the debut studio album by American rapper Fat Joe da Gangsta.[1] 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.
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."
