Back in August, Bronx veterans Fat Joe and Jennifer Lopez linked up for a catchy, retro number called "Stressin'," and now Joe's latest track finds him pairing off with one of NYC's younger (aspiring) stars. Brooklyn's Troy Ave lends his reedy voice to Joe's "How U Luv Dat."

Kicking off with a groovy bassline, the song has Troy and Joe spouting off some ad-libs before the latter delivers the first verse. With references to Polaroids and Instagram appearing within seconds of each other, Joe encapsulates the many changes that have occurred over the years that span his career. It's cool to see him work with younger artists.

Quotable Lyrics

I'm going swimming in Givenchy trunks
Listen pussy nigga this ain't what you want
Pourin' champagne til we capsize
Coming up for air, you been baptized
