Fabolous kicked off December with some good news. He signed a deal with Roc Nation and announced the release date for his forthcoming album The Young OG Project. The New York rapper just offered up the first glimpse of the project with a video for a track called "Lituation."
In the visual directed by Gerald Victor, Fab creates the film King of New York as he takes on the role of Christopher Walken. Things get pretty heavy after Fab catches a body. He is forced to dip off with a bad yellow bone riding shotgun.
"You can come into a situation and it can be [calm] and you can turn it up and get it a little lit," Fab told MTV when asked to explain the song's title. "It's a very aggressive New York street record and I wanted to start with that just to get the feel, and get you there first, [then] the rest of the album will take you different places."
Take a look at the 5-1/2-minute clip after the jump:
Earlier this month, Fabolous revealed that he would be releasing The Young OG Project on Christmas Day. He also released the official cover art and a video trailer for the upcoming album.
Fab told the network that the album, whose title is a nod to a cut from Soul Tape 3, will be "very '90s-inspired and '90s-themed."
"It was a golden era in hip-hop to me," he said. "It was where I fell in love with hip-hop and really admired everything that was going on within the culture."
