After a seven-month bidding war, Hip-Hop artist Mistah F.A.B. (Fabby Davis Jr.) has opted to make Atlantic Records the home of his new label Faeva Afta/Thizz/Atlantic. A native of Oakland, CA and a member of the areaﾒs legendary entertainment company, Thizz Nation, Mistah F.A.B. views his deal with Atlantic Records as the opportunity to help himself and others.
Speaking in his official press release Mistah F.A.B. explained: “I feel my purpose as an artist is to create great music and to give back. Being affiliated with a major label will help me do that on a level I canﾒt as an independent.
I now have a vehicle to distribute positive messages like the Yellow Bus (encouraging kids to go to school) and to help other artists get legit deals, build some wealth and put it back into our communities. Itﾒs gonna be some hard work, but Iﾒm ready and when Iﾒm finished it will be a beautiful thing filled with bona fide head bangers. I thank God for the opportunity.”
Getting 150 spins per week on over 30 radio stations for his current single “Ghost Ride It”, the official Prince of the Hyphy Movement, will start production for his MTV video debut as early as next week. The release of his debut album, “The Yellow Bus Rydah” is due to drop March 2007. The double CD will feature the “Back Of the Bus” disc filled with Hyphy hits, while the second disc, “Front of the Bus,” has more conscious and political material. Mistah F.A.B. lyrics have been described as candid, honest and hotter than boiler room heat.
