Timeline

1977

John David Jackson (born November 18, 1977), better known by his stage name 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.

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 music 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 first artist.

1998

Fabolous made his first major appearance on Clue's The Professional (1998) on two of its tracks, one of which alongside Mase and Foxy Brown.

In the following two years, Fabolous and Desert Storm were signed to Elektra Records (a subsidiary of Warner Music Group) through a distribution deal with the label.

He is also known for his appearances on R&B singles, including "Superwoman Pt. II" by Lil' Mo, "Shawty Is a 10" by The-Dream, "Addiction" by Ryan Leslie, "She Got Her Own" by Jamie Foxx, and "Say Aah" by Trey Songz, among others.

Fabolous released his debut album, Ghetto Fabolous, on September 11, 2001.

It debuted at number four on the Billboard 200, selling over 140,000 copies in its first week.
