Fabolous has got bars for days that he’s spreading out over the weekends, and his latest offering is a freestyle homage to a recent vacation he took in Mexico.
On Friday (December 22), the New York City rapper shared a new portrait-framed music video called “Tuluminati,” recapping his visit to Tulum in the state of Quintana Roo.

“Life has been a movie, every move I make’s a motion pic/ I like that homebody with a little bit of motion chick/ The loyal ones that keep they waist slim and they devotion thick/ Pretty ones with low followers, barely postin’ pics,” he raps on the lyric-heavy joint.
In the caption of his social media post promoting the song, Fab wrote: “Almost forgot it’s Friday… And I like to Freestyle on Friday’s.. I’m RELOADing…”
Fabolous fans may not see another edition of his popular S.O.U.L. Tape series, but he does have something entirely new on the way. In Late October, the Brooklyn rapper sat down with HipHopDX and discussed the fan-favorite mixtape trilogy while providing updates on his plans for the future,
“Everybody wants another S.O.U.L. Tape,” he said. “I think S.O.U.L. Tapes for me were in a great time of where I was making that project and that music. I think now, which we may be 10 years removed from the first S.O.U.L. Tape or something, I think you grow as a person. So even now it would be a different S.O.U.L. Tape.
“So I would rather just have its own entity instead of trying to connect 12 year older me to 12 year younger me. But there is a perspective in that. But I just think that the S.O.U.L. Tape can evolve instead of making Saw 7, Fast & Furious 23.”
Instead, Fabolous will soon release a project that he’s been steadily working on since the pandemic. The caption of the above Instagram post, it is worth mentioning, alludes to said body of work.

“I’m working on a new project — it’s called The Reload,” he explained. “I’m actually trying to figure out when to be able to release it. Again, this project is stemming from places where I’m at now versus — I wanna say I’ve been working on it for a little while so it’s probably from around now to about 2019, 2020. So really with me working all through that time, I was able to give little pieces of myself in different times.
“I think the last piece I had gave was the Summertime Shootout [3] in 2019 and that was kind of fresh off the pandemic, but the music was kind of before the pandemic, which was weird.”

He added: “You kind of make music sometimes – unless you JAY-Z and you just write that week and put the album out that week – but you kinda make music recapping your life. So that’s why that project didn’t really recap the COVID experience, but there’s some of it in this project too. I think a lot has changed in our lifestyles and music and everything since COVID.”
