The first single 'Make Me Better' is produced by Grammy Award winning producer Timbaland and finds Fabolous doing what he does best blending radio ready sound beds with clever and memorable lyrics. This is music to chase your money too, work out-motivation music. 'It's a new year, everybody's on their hustle, back in the gym and I'm trying to give them some inspiration. 'Everybody is trying to take what they have and make something more,' says Fabolous, explaining the album's title. It's appropriate that Fabolous is getting a fresh start for his latest release because he wants From Nothin' to Somethin' to be a rebirth for his fans old and new. 'I was happy with the past records, but I have some adversity to learn off of for the future.' While he doesn't site any one reason for his move, Fabolous has learned a lot from his time in the industry and is eager to capitalize on his experience. 'So it wasn't like I was coming to a new neighborhood.' 'I had people in my corner already over there,' Fab says of DJ Clue and A&R Skane, the Desert Storm duo who discovered Fabolous. His first recorded song was 'If They Want It' from DJ Clue's The Professional, which was released by Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam in 1998. After recording for both Elektra and Atlantic Records, Fab is enjoying a home coming with the legendary Def Jam label.
With two platinum albums (2001's Ghetto Fabolous and 2003's Street Dreams) and one Gold (2004's Real Talk) to his credit, the veteran hitmaker still exudes a rookie-of-the year swagger.
While most rappers spend more and more time convincing the masses of their 'hustle,' Fabolous lets his work speak for his effort.
It takes talent to make the struggle to succeed seem effortless, but that is the gift that separates artists like Brooklyn's John Jackson, aka Fabolous, from the everyday MC. His fourth studio album, Loso's Way, was released in July of 2009 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. He released his debut album, Ghetto Fabolous in 2001 and has since released 2003's Street Dreams, 2004's Real Talk and 2007's From Nothin' To Somethin', all of which have collectively sold over four million copies in the United States. John David Jackson (born Novemin Brooklyn, New York), better known by his stage name Fabolous, is a Grammy award nominated American rapper, actor and designer signed to Def Jam Records.
