“I was one of the first people to work with Troy Ave,” Fabolous says. “Even when I see him in passing, I congratulate you for what you’ve done. You salute them and appreciate what they doin.”
Fabolous is slated to release The Young OG ProjectDecember 25, which is set to feature Chris Brown, Rich Homie Quan and French Montana.
“One thing that the ‘90s had was a lot of diversity in the music,” Fabolous says in the interview. “That’s what I did with the project too. A lot of people think it’s going to sound like Soul Tape or like other mixtapes I did in the past, but this is it’s own tape. The ‘90s had so much diversity where you could have backpack rap, or gangsta rap or flossy Biggie rap. You know there were so many different elements and I wanted that to be in the project too. It’s good music overall for people to listen to and there’s different kinds of vibes.”
