I absolutely LOVE this video! I love what Fabolous has been doing with his music & the videos..HIS OWN THING! It’s directed by Aristotle of By Any Means. He will also be in town next week directing the Greenspan x Phil video shoot for “Keep Up”..so you know it’s going to be ON!!

DOPE record! My team over at Cornerstone sent this over to me (I’m a new Field Marketing Rep) and yeah, I am definitely diggin the production! Take a listen folks! Your ears will love you for it, it’s an indie rock, definitely think Kanye would rock out to this! This will be on the upcoming album “Sidewalks” which is due out in Nov 2010!
