Hip-hop visionary Fab 5 Freddy joins Questlove for a wide-ranging conversation tracing his journey from Bed-Stuy's Hancock Street to the forefront of music, art, television, and culture. While discussing his memoir, Everybody's Fly [penguinrandomhouse.com/books/775871/everybodys-fly-by-fab-5-freddy-with-mark-rozzo/], Fab reflects on Brooklyn's mobile disco scene, the origins of sound system culture, graffiti's transformation of subway cars into rolling art galleries, and the experiences that helped shape Hip-Hop's foundation. He also revisits the enduring legacy of Wild Style and Yo! MTV Raps, sharing stories about bringing rap to mainstream television, introducing N.W.A to a national audience, directing a classic Snoop Dogg video, and championing groundbreaking artists as an executive. Along the way, Fab shines a light on the unsung heroes of the graffiti movement, recalls encounters with figures ranging from Malcolm X and Thelonious Monk to Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, and discusses how art, music, and advocacy continue to drive cultural change today.
