Fabolous
BREATHE
Release Date: November 15 th, 2004

‘ Breathe ’ is the brand new single by Fabolous set for release on November 15 th through Atlantic Records . Most fans and MC’s have given it up to the Brooklyn native for his witty punch-lines and solid metaphors but this Just Blaze produced track, complete with dramatic rock stadium opus, cascading percussion and pounding keys, finds Fab’s skills truly mastered. He spits fire in his verses, building lyrical momentum with each line as he constantly refers back to the act of breathing. The song is structurally one of the most complex songs Hip-Hop has seen in years, and is Fabolous’s fastest growing single ever.

Already enjoying radio support from the likes of Jo Whiley and Tim Westwood on Radio 1, ‘ Breathe ’ is play listed at 1Xtra and Kiss FM. The video directed by Erik White (Ludacris, P.Diddy, B2K, Busta Rhymes) has been added to the Box, Kiss and MTV Base.

‘ Breathe ’ is the first single to be lifted from Fabolous’s forthcoming album REAL TALK out on November 8 th through Atlantic Records . Though this album is his third (fourth if you count the official mix-tape) REAL TALK is Fab’s official introduction to the game. On songs like ‘ In My Hood’ , the rapper relates to his fellow Brooklyn-ites by explaining his upbringing in detail. And on ‘ Can You Hear Me ’ produced by newcomer J.R, Fab delivers a heartfelt story about a friend who falls victim to the streets.

With production courtesy of The Neptunes, Just Blaze and Scott Storch, it is perhaps his most complete album to date. Fabolous has met commercial success with both his previous albums – STREET DREAMS , which spawned such hits as ‘ Can’t Let You Go ’and ‘ Into You’ featuring the incredible Tamia and GHETTO FABOLOUS , his debut that stormed the US Billboard charts at no.4 and subsequently cemented his slot as 2001’s most successful new solo hip hop artist in America.

The in-demand rapper continues to dazzle fans and wow even the most jaded industry types. His contribution to music by Lumidee, Christina Milian and B2K has taken those records over the edge. His slew of side ventures include Reebox TV Commercials and most recently Fabolous joined label mates Missy Elliott , Nate Dogg , Marques Houston , Brandy and a host of other artists on a US charity record called ‘Wake Up Everybody’. The proceeds will go to America Coming Together (ACT), which works to register and mobilize voters to support progressive candidates at all levels of government.
