Fab 5 Freddy was born in 1959 in Brooklyn and emerged in the late 1970s as a New York City graffiti artist who became one of the first to exhibit his paintings internationally. Along with friends and contemporaries, Futura 2000, Keith Haring, Lee Quinones and Jean-Michel Basquiat, Fab was a key player in New York’s 1980s downtown cultural scene and instrumental in elevating graffiti into a disruptive movement that would eventually give birth to street art. In addition to his visual art, Fab co-produced, starred in and composed the music for the cult classic film Wild Style and went on to direct music videos for numerous hip hop stars like Snoop, Nas, Queen Latifah and others. From the late 1980s into the mid 90s he was the original host of YO! MTV Raps, the ground-breaking TV show that took hip hop culture global. Today he continues to make visual art and produce and direct projects for film and television. His recent film is a feature-length documentary he produced and directed for Netflix titled, Grass is Greener which was released globally in 2019. The film examines the history of cannabis, music and criminal justice in America and to date it has been viewed more than 30 million times. His art is currently on exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in the show titled Writing the Future: Basquiat & The Hip-Hop Generation.
