24: What’s good man, it’s really good to see you back on the scene doing what you do?
Fabolous: Yeah, I took a little vacation, switched labels, did a clothing line, bought a couple cars and chains and I’m back.

24: Since you been away a couple faces have changed and so has the game, so were you concerned at all coming back with your new album?
Fabolous: Yes and no. I feel like once I do what I do best the people have to feel it but fans seem to have short attention spans and a lot of these new fans might not know me and plus IPods and ring tones, etc.

24: What’s your personal favorite song on the album that means the most to you?
Fabolous: I would have to choose 2 songs. The first is “What Should I Do” featuring Lil’ Mo produced by Amadeus. It’s a very personal song that touches on everyday topics. The other would have to be “Brooklyn” featuring Jay-Z and Uncle Murda because it’s been song long since Brooklyn had our own anthem, it was over due.

24: Did you feel any pressure with this album because of all the hype around New York artist not being able to sell records as they use to?
Fabolous: I just went in with the mindset to make a great album, not a good album, but a great album that I could be proud of period.

24: You have always dressed a certain way compared to other artist because a lot of them just started dressing this way if someone were to go and pull up some old videos, etc but you always did your thing. Is that what led you to making a clothing line “Young Rich?”
Fabolous: Yes, I always was into clothes and looking up to this is something I did for years before rap and I will after rap no stylist needed.

24: What was it like working with Just Blaze again after making the hit “Breathe?”
Fabolous: It was a great look but I wanted to not do what we did before but go to another level compared to doing something similar and I think we did that with “The Return Of The Hustle” and the fans can watch the making of the beat on my myspace page or Just Blaze’s page.

24: You are also known for making songs for the ladies so did you make any other songs for them other then the hit “Make Me Better” featuring Ne-Yo?
Fabolous: I got a song with T-Pain called “Baby Don’t Go,” “Real Playa Like” featuring Lloyd on the hook and “First Time” with Rihanna that’s going to be big.

24: The streets want to know what’s up with Street Family?
Fabolous: The streets should look out for that and stay tuned and check out my album for the last song called “This Is Family.”

24: Talk to the people before we get out of here?
Fabolous: Album in stores June12 “From Nothing to Something” the boy is back. Street Family!
