If you don’t know his name he will definitely tell you. DJ Clue and Duro present to you the F-A-B-O-L-O-U-S.
Fabolous is an artist on DJ Clue and Duro’s label Desert Storm. He also has a distribution deal with Elektra.
The young, yet experienced 21-year-old, Brooklyn native first stepped to the rap scene on DJ Clue’s mixtapes. Hip-hop fans may also recognize him on Lil’ Mo’s Superwoman Part II, or from his guest appearance on the remix of Jimmy Cozier’s first single “She’s all I got.”
Rick Rock produced his hit single,”Can’t Deny It,” featuring Nate Dogg, off of his debut album Ghetto Fabolous released September 11. “One Day” is a more personal track off Fabolous’s album. For instance, in one verse he expresses his feelings about misconceptions young ones may incounter about other artists,
“Youngsters don’t let these video’s ease your mind, it ain’t cool to end up deceased for shine.”
“Get N Right” is a single produced by Rockwilder. It has a hook similar to a previous Junior Mafia cut “Player’s Anthem.” “Take you home” is a cut that features Lil’ Mo. All of my old school heads will recognize this song as being similar to Lisa Lisa’s “I wonder if I take you home.”
“Ma Be Easy” is a track produced by Just Blaze. This track tells the ladies to stay out of his wallets. The Neptunes, of course, give him a hot beat on “Young N.”
“Right Now & Later On,” also a tight track, was produced by Timbaland.
“Ryde For This” is a single for all of the Ja Rule fans out there.
“Trade it All” is a track featuring R&B sensation Jagged Edge.
“Ghetto Fabolous” has various other hot producers and hot collaborations as well.
I would recommend this album right along with Jay Z’s album that many of you already have in your CD players.
In my opinion, go cop the album!
