AllHipHop.com reached out because we wanted to give you an insight to the good things that Fabby is doing for his neighborhood and to showcase something very positive in Hip-Hop. Hopefully, we can see more of these kinds of community events take place. As you will see, it's not that difficult to put together if you try.
AllHipHop.com: We see that you've been doing a lot of positive things in your community lately.
Mistah F.A.B: Right now as we speak, I'm organizing another little community event. I have a non-profit organization called K.I.D.S. - Knowledge Induced Development System. Our main thing is pushing education. In the city of Oakland, there's been a shut down of over 11 schools. The enrollment percentage is at an all-time low. My main thing is finding out how we can implement an education program.
AllHipHop.com: What's the justification for the school closures?
Mistah F.A.B: Bad attendance and of course the California budget cuts. They don't have enough money to pay these teachers. Then the attendance rate is at an all-time low. It's an unfortunate situation for kids as well as parents. Once a child gets to a certain level of age, they brush off school so they can try to get money. The kids in Oakland have nothing positive to look forward to. When you see that the people you look up to don't care, you wonder why you have to give a sh*t as well. The people who have the influence or the power to dictate what goes on – don't give a sh*t. People are wasting their energy doing negative things. Let's care for some real issues! Let's care about how one out of seven kids in the inner-cities drop-out or die before reaching High School.
