Fabolous, the chipped tooth Don Dada, is one of the borough’s most lyrical geniuses. With the rapper “Straight Outta Brooklyn” — Breevort Houses to be exact, we can understand why his pride for his borough runs deep.
Fab is one of the few artist who succeeded in being honest with his storytelling and allowing it to aid in catapulting him to the top. It takes dedication and overall talent and skill to be able to push through despite your circumstances.
He is also the owner of one of the most sought after closets in the industry! Have you seen his authentic jersey or sneaker collection? Couldn’t really imagine hip hop or music as a whole without him. He has contributed so much to this generation’s musical culture. From his swaggy attire to his witty lyrics, Fab has definitely made a mark for his self. Next year, he’ll make 15-years in the game as his debut album Ghetto Fabolous dropped September 11, 2001. Do you know how hard it is to continuously stay relevant? With throwback hits like, “Ambitionz of a Ridah,” “Can’t Let You Go”, “Young’n (Holla Back),” and “Can’t Deny It,” there’s absolutely no surprise to why Fab will constantly and consistently stay on our radar. After seeing him perform live at Summer Jam this year, if we didn’t understand before, we understand now why he could never be just a temporary fixture.
