Dubcnn hooked back up with Mr. Fabby Davis Jr. aka Mistah Fab aka F.A.B. for an interview, to catch up on everything the Prince of the Bay has going on right now. In this interview we talk about the "One West" movement that he's pushing, uniting the Bay and L.A., and some of the obstacles that he's gone through to get to where he is now.
He tells us about getting on Snoop Dogg's new single "Life Of Da Party" and how it felt working with Too Short and Snoop, and being on the only song with features on "Ego Trippin".
He tells us about his upcoming solo album and the situation over at Atlantic Records, the reasons for the hold up, him not getting played on his local radio station, the politics behind that and much more. We talk about his grind, his upcoming single with Rick Ross and Glasses Malone, and him networking around the country.
We also talk about his album with Glasses Malone that is done, as well as his upcoming album with Alchemist, amongst many of Fab's future projects. To read or listen to this exclusive interview, click below:

Nothing but love, Nima. West coast rap is all about anyone who lives in the west coast who can rap, whether it's hyphy, gangsta, conscious, underground, Latin Hip Hop, Chicano rap or gets no radio play other than The Wake Up Show, Pocos Pero Locos or respected radio stations.
Speaking of radio stations (spoiler), included in F.A.B.'s interview is an article about the sudden demise of hyphy in the Bay Area, and how he, Mac Dre and E-40's single "Tell Me When To Go (Dumb)" played a big part for and against the radio station KMEL. You will not believe the kind of things that happen off the air, and if you're lucky, on air.
F.A.B., after reading your situation, I am going to be watching your music now. I got a glimpse of you when you collabed with Chingo Bling on "Do Tha Lasso," and just a few days ago your featured guest spot with Snoop Dogg and Too Short on "Life Of Da Party." I wish you the best of success in the music industry, and I expect to hear great things from you in the future, starting with The Alchemist album.
I do have a question, Nima, that you might want to ask F.A.B.: being the radio station that is now leaning more into the national schematics, did they treat Latin Hip Hop music/Chicano rap with the same form of disrespect like with hyphy music? The only artist I know of that get play up there are Dyablo, Jay Tee, Don Cisco and Baby Bash (he is technically a Bay Area artist even though he's dirty south now). Also, is Pocos Pero Locos on any of the Bay Area stations? If KMEL runs it, I'm gonna be pissed.

Keep it coming!

Nice interview. Looking forward to all the projects coming up for FAB.

Thanks for all the feedback, unstickying this now!

That's a good interview, FAB is pretty much known for his hyphy stuff, but he is a versatile artist and also seems to make real good decisions. The incident with KMEL is not surprising, they have been marks for years, dating back to Too Short's time. If he is in your town again, hit his show up, he puts on a real high-energy set and his freestyles are crazy!!
