Fabolous

John David Jackson, known professionally as Fabolous, is an American rapper. Raised in Brooklyn, he first gained recognition for his ability upon performing live on DJ Clue's Hot 97 radio show. Jackson then signed to Clue's record label Desert Storm Records, in a joint venture with Elektra Records. He rose to further prominence with his debut studio album Ghetto Fabolous, which spawned the hit singles "Can't Deny It" and "Young'n." Adopting a further commercially-oriented approach, his second album, Street Dreams, was supported by the singles "Can't Let You Go" and "Into You" —both of which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2004, Jackson signed with Atlantic Records—another subsidiary of Warner Music Group—to release his third album Real Talk, which saw continued success as his only project with the label. In 2006, he signed with Def Jam Recordings—owned by Warner competitor Universal Music Group—and founded his own label imprint, Street Family Records. His fourth and fifth albums, From Nothin' to Somethin' and Loso's Way, both yielded his furthest commercial success, peaking at numbers two and one on the Billboard 200, respectively.
