For many years, I have admired Fab 5 Freddy. Not really knowing much about him other than watching him on Yo! MTV Raps in the 90s, he always stuck out in my mind. As a kid, I didn't really know why he was famous but his swag was undeniable. I knew he was in the sphere of other legends of that era like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Blondie and Madonna but why?
Fred Brathwaite aka Fab 5 Freddy graced Atlanta with his presence this week to discuss his new book "Everybody's Fly, A Life of Art, Music, and Changing the Culture". As expected, he shared so many epic stories that evidenced universal alignment, with Fred's talent being at the right place and right time. He was at the inception of so many emerging subcultures, poised to navigate them with ease. The book is a fun read and it was such an honor to finally meet the iconic griot known as Fab 5 Freddy.
