After spending the last nine years on their successful
hip-hop inspired clothing line, as well as branching out into jewellery and
footwear, the Fubu quadruplets have
finally decided to make the move into hip-hop music.
By inking a deal with Universal records,
FB Entertainment was born and their
first release is a collective album called The
GoodLife.
The 19-track opus features a collection of stars from the world of hip-hop,
R&B and reggae. And they all blend together quite well.
Artists such as Nas, Erick Sermon, Joe, India.Arie, Fubu
representer LL Cool J and current
‘get around’ celebrity Nate Dogg all
shine through, as well as members of new crew 54th Platoon, Amazin,Drunken Master and Lola Damone.

The first release from the album was the summer surprise track 50 Ni**as deep by Drunken Master featuring Lola
Damone. Other tracks include Good
LifeJS of 54th Platoon, Nas and Nate Dogg, who blows up the spot with
his singing/rapping style. Bad Man
Bizness by Beenie Man is a
perfect mix of dirty south beats and ‘de gal dem sugahs’ island flow. And with India.Arie’s Video remix with Supercat as
well as hits by Joe, Connie Mckendrick, and ex-En Vogue starlet Dawn Robinson rounding off the album with Set It Off, which should prepare the world for her solo effort.
The album is a good compilation, hitting all bases with the Fatty Girl single by Ludacris, LL and Keith Murray banging
radio and clubs. And although the album doesn’t come with the most thought
provoking lyrics, it shows the hip-hop world that Fubu is ready to make another mark on the music world.
