Fabolous to play Little 500 week

Brooklyn don and hip-hop star Fabolous will bring his signature sneer to IU in concert April 17. The show is sponsored by Zeta Beta Tau fraternity and is part of the Little 500 festivities.\nIt will be held outdoors in the fenced-in yard behind the ZBT house at 1500 N. Jordan Ave. Tickets are on sale there for $20. The show starts at 6 p.m.\nAt 22, Fabolous is one of the hottest upstart rappers in the country. His debut album, Ghetto Fabolous, made it to No. 4 on the Billboard charts last September. It has been propelled by the "holla back" single "Young'n" and "Can't Deny it" with Nate Dogg. \nThe young'n also lent verses on the R&B hits "Peaches and Cream," by 112, and "Superwoman Pt. 2," by Lil Mo. \n"We decided to get Fabolous because rarely does a hip-hop artist come to the Little 5," ZBT external social David Jacobson said.\nZBT internal social Steve Gold thinks IU students will enjoy the show. He said he expects about 2,500 people to pack the backyard to see Fabolous. \n"He's up-and-coming, he's getting big, he's on MTV and BET and we just thought it would be a great show," Gold said. \nLocal hip-hop group Holistic will open for Fabolous.
