King Him: Fabolous Wants His Piece Of The Crown - Vibe
Now running with Roc Nation, Fab plans to extend his brand beyond music. He’s engulfed in a cocaine-white 1992 BMW 850i with blue and cream BBS rims that would make Rae and Ghost proud. Although the 35-year-old says he’s more than earned his spot, having survived the music industry’s crowded summers and harsh winters for 14 consecutive years, he no longer sees value in being regional royalty. Like his Bed Stuy big brother , he’s ready to be a business, man. So of course he signed with Roc Nation management. Now with his latest and impressively ‘90’s-inspired album, Young OG , ready for a Christmas release, the man who went from killing Clue Tapes to Top 40 records is ready to turn his steady ship into a space ship. How did your business relationship with Roc Nation manifest. Even Jay-Z and Ty Ty, they’re all like family to me. But I got rid of my old management end of 2013 because I just felt like it was time to make a different move. So [after we parted] I was trying to figure it out because I really wanted to build the brand, take it to another level. Roc came to me like we know what you do. We just want to build on what you do. I don’t just need management. What I needed from them was to come in and make my music connect in areas where we haven’t connected before. Source: www.vibe.com
