Brooklyn rapper Fabolous has teased fans about the status of his upcoming The Young OG Project 2 studio album on social media this week.
Fab referenced rap star Kanye West‘s “Mercy” lyrics and mentioned being in a Def Jam meeting on Instagram.
Initially slated to arrive last month, Fab recently said production issues had caused the project to suffer a delay.
“I was supposed to drop The Young OG Project 2 on Christmas but I needed some more clearance time. My samples weren’t clearing in time. [Summertime Shootout] performed very well so I wanted to give it some room to breathe. I want to shoot some videos off it. I’m going to push The Young OG Project to February and use the month of January to promote [it]. You don’t really realize how close Thanksgiving and Christmas are until you actually live it.” (Hot 97)
In November, Fab announced new music plans on social media.
Last year, Fab talked about the release of his The Young OG Project.
“With this project, I’m not looking at numbers or thinking that you got to have singles. It’s a different time in music. All the conventional ways of doing things are old, and you don’t need to do anything that way again. You need to find new ways to spark people’s interest.” (Billboard)
Damn i forgot about The Young OG Project 2
They’re are not giving him no 50million. Fab wants to be next NY king, he better come out with some heat. What happened to NY hip-hop? Where are the young rappers going to shine?
Summertime Shootout was just meh to me. I need another Soul Tape.
the one with Weekend could be a radio hit. somebody missing the opportunity. they tried with the Nicki and Trey record first. shoulda went with Weekend. or just drop another Soul Tape!!!
It’s already a Weeknd song with the same title, Fab just remixed it. Real One could have been the radio hit.
Oh ok. Dont listen much to Weekend. But that song is nice! Thanks
The project was great if you got the story.
why did summertime shootout come out after the summer though? was i the only one questioning that?
