Lefabian Williams (born November 30, 1983), better known by his stage name Fabo, is an American rapper, songwriter and producer. He is best known for his work as a founding member and frontman of the hip hop group D4L, and their single "Laffy Taffy", which peaked at #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in January 2006.[1] The song made Nielsen SoundScan history with digital download sales of over 175,000 copies, marking a new one-week high for sales of a single track, and went on to be certified 3x multi-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[2][3]
Considered an influential figure in Southern hip hop and a pioneer of snap music, Fabo was named as one of 10 "major influences on today's rap sound" in November 2013 by Complex magazine along with the rest of D4L.[4]
