Joe took to Instagram on Tuesday to make the announcement official. āYesterdayās title is not todayās title!!! WHAT WOULD BIG DO 2021?! Friday the 13thĀ #GangstaGrillzĀ @djdramaš¶Ā @coolanddre,ā he playfully captioned the post, referencing Dramaās post over the weekend that announced the project under a different name.
What Would Big Do 2021Ā will also be executive produced by Cool & Dre. Joe recently linked up with the rap duo, along with Remy Ma to deliver their summer-centric track āBack Outsideā last month.
Joe receiving aĀ Gangsta GrillzĀ project falls perfectly in line with how great the last few weeks have been for New York hip-hop. Just last week, The Lox and Dipset reignited the city with their electricĀ VerzuzĀ battle that took place in Madison Square Garden. The legendary venue coupled with the rap groups and greats in attendance, including Fat Joe, made for a memorable night.
And of course, Drama is coming off of delivering Tyler, the Creator his firstĀ Gangsta GrillzĀ tape, and one many are calling the album of the year so far. When talking to Complex about how the album came together, Drama explained how Tyler had always wanted to make aĀ Gangsta GrillzĀ project.
āAs you can see from Tylerās tweet, he saidĀ 10 or 11 years ago that he wanted a fuckināĀ Gangsta Grillz,āĀ Drama explained. āSo weāve worked together in the past, and been cool and cordial through the years. Last summer, he reached out to me. He was like, āYo, I got something. I got this idea.āĀ And we talked it over. Initially he was going to send me the music, but we all decided that itād be best if I just come out to L.A. and work on it directly.ā
