Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, R. Kelly, Ja Rule and Buju Banton will join Fat Joe on his upcoming disc Jealous Ones Still Envy (J.O.S.E.), due December 4.

The album's title is a take-off on the rapper's 1995 album, Jealous One's Envy.

"At the time of [Jealous One's Envy], I was still an underground rapper, so I felt like that never got its just recognition," Joe told MTV News recently. "When [Big Pun] passed away, I heard all types of rumors, people doubting me. Everyone was acting like it was over for Joe, so I went in the studio, closed the door, and came back to that zone where Jealous One's Envy was at, but I had to bring it back 2001 style."

R. Kelly appears on the first single, "We Thuggin'," while Busta, Noreaga and Remy Martin turn up on a remix of the song that closes the album. Other guests include Xzibit, M.O.P., Petey Pablo, Ashanti, Armageddon and Prospect.

Known for his self-righteous Spanglish rhymes, Fat Joe first made an impact with "Flow Joe," a song from his 1993 debut Represent that rode to #1 on the rap charts. He later helped kick-start the career of Big Pun, who suffered a fatal heart attack last year at 28. Joe's most recent album was 1998's Don Cartagena, which went gold.
