NEW YORK (Atlantic Records) - Fabolous returns to the game in grand style with the release today of his eagerly awaited new album, REAL TALK. The Brooklyn-based rapper's third full-length set features the smash single, "Breathe" which is already a smash on radio stations across the country.

The companion video for "Breathe" is in the Big Ten at MTV, where it is in the top five. Fabolous will hit MTV's TRL stage for a performance tomorrow during "Spankin' New Music Week", after which he will appear on "Spankin' New DFX." After his MTV stint, he will cross Times Square for a special in-store appearance at the Virgin Megastore. An MTV news crew will follow Fab throughout the day.

Fabolous celebrates REAL TALK with a street date performance on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" tonight, November 9th.

With the release of REAL TALK, Fabolous - aka "The Prince of New York" - returns with his hottest album to date. Featuring production from The Neptunes, Just Blaze, Scott Storch, and special guest appearances by the likes of Sean Paul, Lil Mo, and Nate Dogg.

"I feel this is my best album. It is much more versatile than my first two albums," says Fabolous of REAL TALK. "I'm out for my respect. I want to try to wake the people up this time. My last two records shaped the mode of me as a rapper for the ladies. I don't want to be looked at for just that.
I want to be respected lyrically... I'm relating to the listeners by sharing experiences with people who come from the same places where I'm from. I'm talking about things in my personal life, from my own perspective. I want to bring you in, and let you see my world looking through my eyes."
