Bringing a storytelling feel to the new production, Fabolous takes a moment to reminisce, in “Gone For The Winter.”

While giving us a glimpse into daily street life, the “Ready” artist keeps the joint smooth, with Velous adding to the tone.

The single which formed a part of “The Young OG Project,” certainly maintains a retro theme; intertwining Nas’ classic “Represent” beat.

As appose to flashy gear, we undoubtedly witness a real production in its entirety. To see Loso rapping in the clouds, be sure to check out the premiere below:

Just nine days before the release of his newest album “The Young OG Project”, Fabolous appeared on The Breakfast Club, to discuss the project. The rapper explained how the album, released on Christmas Day came about and how he stays relevant in the hip-hop game. Fab slightly touched on the Drake and Diddy beef, both friends of his and said he did not sign to Roc Nation for the benefits. The hip hop alum said he is focused on building solid relationships and said the conventional way of pushing records is dead. See the video above for the full interview.

Fabolous is back with visuals for “Lituation”—the first single off of his upcoming release, The Young OG Project, slated for release Christmas Day.

The video was inspired by 1990’s thriller, King of New York. In the first scene, Loso walks into a room  and shoots up the place before the song even begins to play. What follows is action-packed, as Fabolous evades the cops with a model wearing a luxe fur coat decorating his passenger seat.

This video adds complexity to the narrative of “Lituation”. Watch the action unfurl below:
