F.A.B. Week kicks off Monday, Jan. 22, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new Mistah F.A.B. mural on 45th and Market Streets, where he grew up, and a “Know Your Lane” bowling party at Plank in Jack London Square with celebrity guests Too Short and Gary Payton. Events continue daily through Jan. 28, with a comedy night starring HaHa Davis on Jan. 23 at Tommy T’s in Pleasanton and a Bay-TL Skate Party with Future’s DJ and producer DJ Esco on Jan. 24 at the Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium in Oakland.
On Jan. 25, F.A.B. will bring a ’90s mobb music revival (and some hyphy) to the long-running San Francisco hip-hop party City Nights, with performances by 3XKrazy, The Delinquents, Dru Down, Black C of RBL Posse and The Team.
Festivities continue with a fashion show at Mistah F.A.B.’s downtown Oakland nightclub Dezi’s on Jan. 26, produced by celebrity stylist Mario B. “He’s a huge advocate and spokesman for the LGBTQ community,” F.A.B. says, noting the importance of unity. “To me that partnership was about, ‘Aye, we all here. We all together.’”
