Fabolous (born John Jackson) is an American pop-rapper from Brooklyn who became a mainstream star after his debut single "I Can't Deny It" from 2001 (see 2001 in music).
The first star to come from DJ Clue's Desert Storm record label, Fabolous collaborated with Nate Dogg, The Neptunes, Lil' Mo, Timbaland, Ja Rule and others on Ghetto Fabolous. "I Can't Deny It" and Ghetto Fabolous became crossover hits. The follow-up, Street Dreams, was less successful.
