"If you're going to get in the industry or the game, don't just do it for the money or the fame," says Oakland music treasure Mistah FAB in a recent video he shot directed at the hundred of young local musicians who ask him about ways to get a break.

Check out what FAB has to say about how he got his name, the dish on Warriors head coach Don Nelson and what his campaign promise would be if he ran for mayor of Oakland, plus some inside info on his record label. Good stuff from a good man.
