Jealous Ones Still Envy 2 (J.O.S.E. 2) is the ninth solo studio album by American rapper Fat Joe, and is a sequel to his platinum-selling album Jealous Ones Still Envy (2001). It is also the third album in his Jealous One's Envy series. After several delays, the album was released on October 6, 2009. The album's production was done by Rico Love, Ron Browz, The Inkredibles, Eric Hudson, Jim Jonsin and DJ Infamous, and features guest contributions from rappers Lil Wayne, Lil' Kim, Raekwon, T.A. and Swizz Beatz and R&B singers Akon, Pleasure P and T-Pain.
The album garnered a mixed reception from critics who felt it borrowed too much from current hip-hop trends to regain both commercial success and relevancy for Joe. Jealous Ones Still Envy 2 debuted at number 73 on the Billboard 200 and spawned two singles: "One" and "Aloha".
On February 26, 2009, Virgin Records announced that this album would be released on April 7. It was later delayed to May 19, late June, and September 22, before Joe announced on his Twitter feed that the album would be released on October 6. Fat Joe explained to XXL on May 22 that he delayed the album due to a lack of promotion. The day of the label's announcement, Fat Joe held a listening party for the album. Prior to the release of the album on October 6, rival 50 Cent, issued a number of viral videos poking fun at the album as it was about to be released. Fat Joe replied with messages via his Twitter page, saying; "50 is sick that my album is so hot. That real music! Not that wack stuff him and his clowns are making."
