This Throwback Thursday shines a spotlight on “Into You,” the smooth, radio-dominating single from Fabolous’ 2003 sophomore album Street Dreams. Produced by DJ Clue and DURO, the track reimagined Tamia’s 1998 hit “So Into You,” blending hip-hop swagger with R&B romance. Its layered samples and heartfelt lyrics helped define early-2000s rap and R&B collaborations, making it one of Fabolous’ signature records.  Originally, Ashanti recorded a version of the song for the album, but label complications prevented her from appearing in the music video. As a result, Tamia stepped in to re-record a commercial version and star in the visuals alongside Fabolous. The now-iconic video, directed by Erik White and filmed on a cloudy Malibu beach, turned unexpected rainy weather into a stylish, cinematic love story that still resonates with fans. “Into You” became a major commercial success, peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching the top 10 in multiple countries. It also marked one of Fabolous’ highest-charting singles at the time and remained on year-end charts throughout 2003. More than two decades later, the track continues to stand as a timeless fusion of hip-hop and R&B that captures the sound and style of its era.
