An interview we did with the legendary Bay Area rapper and entrepreneur Mistah FAB, at his clothing store Dope Era in Downtown Oakland. He discusses how Hip-Hop/rap has been therapeutic and healing for him, and reflects in depth on how the journey of growth in his life has shaped and is reflected in his music. He unpacks the impact of trauma on his community, and how he has tried to address these issues through his music. He shares some of his philosophies and practices around the process of personal growth and development, breaks down how they have contributed to his well being, and explores how Hip-Hop can be a powerful tool in this process.
