One of rap's most colorful and recognizable characters, at various points in his life Fab Five Freddy has been a nationally exhibited painter, an actor, a screenwriter, a rapper, a graffiti artist, a producer, and a host for MTV, each endeavor carrying Freddy's trademark zeal and charisma. Growing up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of New York, Freddy first entered the underground culture as a popular graffiti artist. Using the tags "Bull 99" and "Fred Fab 5," Freddy's work became a fixture on subway cars and walls throughout the city. Graduating from high school in the late '70s, the young artist studied painting at Medgar Evans College where he emulated the pop art of Andy Warhol.
