1977–2000: Early life and career beginnings

Fabolous was born John David Jackson on November 18, 1977, and is of Dominican and African-American descent. He grew up in Breevort Houses in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of the Brooklyn borough of New York City.
Jackson attended High School of Art & Design and City-As-School High School in Manhattan, and eventually Boys and Girls High School in Bed-Stuy. While in his senior year of high school, Jackson began to pursue a career in hip hop music. In the early years of his career, he rapped under the name Fabolous Sport, in reference to Ralph Lauren's Polo Sport line, however this was later shortened to simply Fabolous. The misspelling was unintentional; Jackson originally intended to be simply called "Fabulous" but incorrectly spelled it during a freestyle and it stuck. He was invited to rap live on American record producer and record executive DJ Clue's radio show, then on New York City's radio station Hot 97. Fabolous and N.O.R.E. performed over the instrumental to The Lox's song "Money, Power & Respect", and the following day, Clue signed Fabolous to his record label, Desert Storm Records as its second artist after Clue. Fabolous made his debut commercial appearance on Clue's The Professional (1998) on two of its tracks, one of which alongside Mase and Foxy Brown. In 1998, Desert Storm secured a distribution deal with Interscope Records, where Fabolous began recording his debut studio album. However, they left by early 2001 and signed to Elektra Records (a subsidiary of Warner Music Group) through a distribution deal with the label. In a September 6, 2001, interview with Hot104.com, Fabolous said he never planned on becoming a rapper and told the website: "I was just trying to make some money, ya know? I got tired of being broke. This was something where I could make some money. It just happened for me."

His second single was not promoted until weeks after the album's release. Its third single, "Tit 4 Tat", featured Pharrell of The Neptunes, the latter of whom also produced the song.

That same year, Fabolous was nominated for a Grammy Award for his guest feature on the remix of the single "Dip It Low" by Christina Milian. His own clothing line, "Rich Yung Society" was launched in 2006 after being discussed two years prior.

His second single was "Return of the Hustle" which featured Swizz Beatz, also came out before the album release, to some acclaim, but little airplay. His third single though, "Make Me Better," which features fellow Def Jam artist Ne-Yo, and is produced by Timbaland, was his biggest hit to date, spending 14 weeks at number one on the Hot Rap Track Billboard Chart. The fourth single was "Baby Don't Go." Jermaine Dupri produced it and T-Pain sings the hook. However, in music video version of the song, Jermaine Dupri sings the hook.
