description: "John David Jackson, known professionally as 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. He rose to further prominence with his debut studio album Ghetto Fabolous (2001), which spawned the hit singles \"Can't Deny It\" and \"Young'n .\" Adopting a further commercially-oriented approach, his second album, Street Dreams (2003), was supported by the singles \"Can't Let You Go\" and \"Into You\" —both of which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100."
