Fab 5 Freddy Book Talk

Please join us for a book talk of “Everybody’s Fly” by author Fab 5 Freddy – hosted by QPL’s Hip Hop Coordinator Ralph McDaniels! “Everybody’s Fly” is a fast-moving, all-access pass to Fred’s extraordinary life—one that begins in a book- and jazz-filled Brooklyn home and takes us deep into New York’s creative explosions from the 1970s into the 1990s. He didn’t just shape culture, he synthesized it—from highbrow to street, the Bronx to the East Village, punk to rap, Warhol to Wild Style. Whether he’s skipping school to wander New York City’s museums, painting subway cars that became moving masterpieces, or bringing hip-hop to downtown clubs for the first time, Fred’s genius has always been in seeing what others couldn’t—until he made them see it too. This event is brought to you by the New York State Council on the Arts.
