Fat Joe informed MTV News that his old friend, Diamond D,  worked with him for The Darkside 3 mixtape, which will drop on August 26, the same day he has to turn himself in for federal tax charges. Diamond D is a veteran hip-hop producer and MC who worked with hip-hop royalty such as Tribe Called Quest, the Fugees, KRS-One, and the Pharcyde. Diamond and Fat Joe linked up when D brought him into his Diggin' In the Crates crew. DJ Premiere also linked up with Joe for his mixtape.
