Fabolous is exploring his entrepreneurial side and recently launched his own label, Street Family Entertainment. The first act signed to his new label is Mike Shorey, who was featured on Fabolous’ song “Can’t Let You Go,” from Street Dreams. “We are building him and getting him ready as an artist – emotionally, physically and mentally,” Fabolous said. He surprisingly has yet to sign a rapper but states that they were focused on launching one artist at a time for the moment. Fabolous will release his new album Real Talk on November 9th.
After being pushed around numerous times, Camron’s Purple Haze will finally see the light of day on December 7th (the same day as Memphis Bleek for some strange reason). Guests include Twista, Kanye West, and of course the Dipset. The next single is scheduled to be his remake of Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” Look for a DVD to accompany the release of the CD.
