With the release of his second full-length in 2005, Mistah F.A.B rose to mainstream prominence, along with the hyphy scene itself. Son of a Pimp boasted splashy party anthems, like "Super Sic Wit It," his collaboration with Turf Talk and E-40. (His goofball side is definitely on display in the music video for what is perhaps his best-known track--2006's "Ghost Ride It"--cruising around The Town, dancing on the hood of a Ghostbuster's-esque old-school ambulance.) But Mistah F.A.B gets deep too. The title of the album wasn't macho bluster. F.A.B's father was literally a pimp, who died of AIDS when the MC was 12—something he reflects on in songs like "If Papa Was Home." F.A.B has remained busy since his moment in the spotlight, regularly dropping both mixtapes and proper releases, plus advocating for Oakland youth. (Stephen Layton)
