Fabolous received the key to his native Brooklyn over the weekend in an official ceremony at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. The “Breathe” rapper was awarded the key itself along with artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, who was honored posthumously.
A photo from Fab’s Triangle Offense crewmate Paul Cain shows the artist with a smile on his face as he holds the ceremonious key. The message to Fab read: “Brooklyn Honored My Brother Today. He Was Given The Key 2 The City. He Came From The Projects, He Came From Nothing, He Came From The Bottom! 2 All The Youth, Let This Be Your Motivation. You Can Be SuccessFul 2, Just Work Hard & Stay Focused! 2 Say I’m Proud Is An Understatement!! I Love You Bro, Keep Winning!”
Another photo shows Fab’s step on the Brooklyn “Celebrity Path” as well as the close up of the key.
Fab teamed up with Lil Uzi Vert this February for the “Goyard Bag” single and subsequent video, and is collaborating with Jadakiss on the long awaited Freddy Vs. Jason album.

“Likely close”?
Paul Cain is his fucking brother. Why don’t you know that, if writing articles about hip-hop?
Right! Like google the dude’s name. Takes 5 seconds lol
Well deserved…just like KD will get his first ring tonight.
Fab gonna have crazy bars off this achievement alone. Congrats Fabolous
Someone likely close….u mean his artist/brother…smh…u guys don’t know the game
Congrats to Fab! Hiphopdx lost credibility for the fact that they don’t know that Paul Cain is Fab’s brother, let alone another artist…. Trianle Offense anyone?

It would’ve taken 10 seconds to figure out who Paul Cain was…. I thought this was a hip hop site?? *Shrugs*, step the journalism game up!
He should have awarded the key of the kindergarden. He’s a fabolously wack rap rapper with a voice of a six yo child.
