<P><b>ATLANTA</b> &#8212; <a href="/music/artist/d_four_l/artist.jhtml">D4L's</a> Fabo seemed like he would be the breakout star from the group in the wake of its 2005 hit "Laffy Taffy." The cat was flamboyant with his stunna shades, spaced-out lingo and snap dancing. However, that was four years ago, and Fabo's music has come sporadically, while Shawty Lo <a href="/news/articles/1607727/shawty-lo-recalls-fast-paced-youth-his-atlanta-hood.jhtml">has become the group's standout,</a> with hits like "Dun Dun" and "Dey Know." Fabo told us recently it's all good: He's about to make a comeback.</P><P>"I just got a fresh deal with Atlantic. Still on Bankhead [Records]," he said. "D4L is out there now. We doing our thing, we working on a new album, we getting back together. Shawty Lo is doing his thing. I'm here in the streets."</P><P></p><div style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left;"> <embed src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:uma:video:mtv.com:448366" width="256" height="223" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashVars="configParams=instance%3Dnews%26vid%3D448366" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" allowScriptAccess="always" base="."></embed></div><p></P><P>Fabo is also in the classroom. Yes, he's been going to college.</P><P>"I went back to school for business and management," he revealed. "I didn't have a high school degree at the time. It's all about bettering yourself. I got a high school diploma, now I go to school for business and management. I go to Ashworth College." (A representative from the school told MTV News they are not allowed to divulge a student's enrollment status.)</P><P>Fab said his fellow students initially made a fuss, but it's all business as usual now.</P><P>"At first it was like, 'You Fabo! You Fabo!" he recalled. "But after a while, I got such personality, I'm like your everyday next [door] cat. I'm getting great grades. I ain't no honor roll student or nothing like that, but I'm making it. I'm trying to better myself, not wanting this to be the last stop for me. Having a couple of more kids and watching them grow, being there with them. I been in the streets all my life, it's time to do something for me and my family, you feel me? So I went back to school. That's a great thing!"</p>
