PTBTV aka Pushin' The Bay EXCLUSIVE! Mistah F.A.B. speaks on RAY LUV and Ray Luv speaks on Mistah F.A.B.!!!

Mistah F.A.B. (born Stanley P. Cox on January 23, 1982) is a American rapper from North Oakland, California. He attended Oakland Technical High School. He is signed to Bay Area rap legend Mac Dre's label, Thizz Entertainment and Atlantic Records. He has battled numerous well known rappers such as Jin and Royce da 5'9". Mistah F.A.B. is an acronym for "Money Is Something to Always Have -- FaEva Afta Bread."

One of the most prominent and colorful figures of the San Francisco Bay area hyphy movement in the late 2000s - sometimes hailed as the scene's "crown prince" - North Oakland-based rapper Mistah F.A.B. presents a somewhat exceptional combination of street credibility, social consciousness, astute introspection, and irrepressible goofiness. Born Stanley P. Cox in 1982, and raised by his mother and grandmother, he stresses the positivity of hyphy's party-happy, irreverent but inspirational "go dumb" mentality, and a dedication to inner-city social issues, which doesn't mean he's immune to a certain amount of mainstream rap's flamboyant materialism: his handle is supposedly an acronym for "Money Is Something To Always Have - FaEva After Bread." F.A.B., who also goes by Fabby Davis Jr., titled his second album Son of a Pimp in bluntly literal reference to his pimp father, who was incarcerated for much of Fab's childhood and died of AIDS-related complications when he was 12, around the time he started writing rhymes. That album, Fab's first for hyphy forerunner Mac Dre's Thizz label (following his 2003 debut Nig Latin), featured collaborations with many noted Bay Area rappers including Dre, E-40, Turf Talk, and G-Stack of Oakland heroes the Delinquents - as well as Kanye West - and boasted one of the biggest hits of the resurgent hyphy scene, "Super Sic Wit' It."

Bay Area rapper Ray Luv debuted in 1989 with the album Who Can Be Trusted? Aside from a handful of compilation tracks and cameo appearances, he was silent before resurfacing on Atlantic in 1995 with Forever Hustlin'; Coup d'Etat followed four years later.
