Fabolous
Comment:
When Def Jam dealt Musiq to Atlantic for Fabolous — just in time for his career-high debut with [i]From Nothin' to Somethin'[/i] — they did more than switch out an R&B star for a rap one. They pulled off a Steinbrenner-caliber trade that left the label with the perfect middle-ground MC, one who appeals to pop audiences [i]and[/i] picky, street-smart fans who quote [i]Scarface[/i] the movie as much as Scarface the rapper. No wonder why everyone from Jay-Z to Young Jeezy has jumped onto his crossover jams, a stack of crowd-pleasing singles that bump and bang the box one second ("Take You Home," "Young'n," "Diamonds") and caress ear canals the next (the bedroom-bound "Can't Let You Go," "Into You," and "Trade It All").
