The City That Raised Him Rightfully Honors Fabolous With the Key to Brooklyn

Brooklyn has yet another reason to stand up now that Fabolous has officially been blessed with the key to his borough.

Over the weekend the Summertime Shootout rapper and his family gathered together in style at Brooklyn Botanical Gardens to receive this prestigious honor. Six albums, two EPs, about eleven mixtapes, and several remixes later, it's very much well-deserved. His lyrical savoir faire isn't all that landed him this prestigious distinction. It's also in large part thanks to his fervent work as a philanthropist in the community.

Salute to Fabolous and thank you for not only continuously dropping music with enough punchlines and captions to have your Instagram lit all year, but for all of the amazing work you do for our kids in our community. Thank you.
