It’s been said “we all get the same 24 hours,” (true!) and clearly the “Young OG” has been putting in work as the year wraps up. But Fab hasn’t just been making headlines and gearing up for a highly anticipated album release. With the weigh in of Fabolous On His 2015 New Year’s Resolution, it’s clear he’s also playing chess.

As Fabolous’ Christmas album release nears the Brooklyn rapper is taking over the city with his press run to prepare for the the digital album. During his press stop at “Sway In The Morning” Loso spoke on wanting to collaborate with Nas, and Eminem in the near future, named the top lyricist in the game right now, and broke down the lyrics in his newest record – “lituation” with Sway.

The Early Sales Projections Are In! Guess How Much J. Cole’s ‘2014 Forest Hills Drive’ Is Set To Sell In Its First Week!
Though just released yesterday, J. Cole’s 2014 Forest Hills Drive first week sales projections are already in, and they’re looking to be amazing! Before I reveal the numbers, let’s review what we are working with here. Only just a couple of weeks ago, Cole reemerged from Nowheresville, and revealed that the album was coming.

(Video) Fabolous Signs To Roc Nation; Announces ‘Young OG’ Digital Album
Fabolous always drops solid projects around the holidays, but it’s usually in the form of a mixtape. This time, we’ll be getting a full album, which Loso announced today via MTV. Along with the announcement he signed to Jay Z’s Roc Nation imprint (I’m unsure whether for a record label or for management,) Fabolous confirmed that Young OG will drop on digital retailers on Christmas, and the first single from the project will be called “Lituation.” “This is a word that I’ve been hearing floating around and I thought, why not make a song out of it?’” Fab said about the song title. “It’s really about a situation that can get lit. You can come into a situation and it can be [calm] and you can turn it up and get it a little lit. It’s a very aggressive New York street record and I wanted to start with that just to get the feel, and get you there first, [then] the rest of the album will take you different places.” As for the album, it will be “very ’90s-inspired and ’90s themed,” which makes sense with his recent birthday party! “It was a golden era in hip-hop to me,” Fab said. “It was where I fell in love with hip-hop and really admired everything that was going on within the culture. I was introduced to hip-hop in the ’80s but the ’90s is when it flourished and you saw different people, different styles and different regions emerge – it was a very diverse and…
