Coming up under industry vet DJ Clue, Fabolous took his hustle from the Brooklyn streets to the mainstream in the early '00s. His cocky flow and ability to drop hot 16s over punchy, club-friendly productions by The Neptunes and Rockwilder defined his Ghetto Fabolous debut. The followup, Street Dreams, hit platinum status thanks to some smart R&B hooks, while spitting sessions alongside JAY Z and Young Jeezy showcased Fab's raw rap skills.
