Career

In 2009, Fababy met rapper Despo Rutti,[2] and appeared with him on a freestyle video called "La Saint-Valentin Featuring La Batte de Base Ball", posted on 14 February 2010, where he assumed the moniker F.A.B.[3] The video was viewed over 30,000 times. He then appeared with Rutti on the radio station Planète Rap, to help promote Rutti's album, Conviction Suicidaire. Under the moniker Fababy, he recorded the track "Dans Nos Yeux" (In Our Eyes) on the compilation rap album Cosa Nostra by Juston Records, which was released on 1 March 2010.[4] When the Cosa Nostra album was being promoted, he got to perform the track at the Nouveau Casino in Paris.[5]

Fababy released his first solo music video titled, "Fuck L'amour" (Fuck Love) on 14 February 2011, one year after his first collaborative video.[6] He also featured on the rap album Biography of Seven and released a clip entitled "L'etat nous baratine" on 31 March as a collaboration with French rap artist Seven.[7] Shortly after, he released another clip "Crie 93" exclusively on rap website Booska-p.[8] Fababy then signed on with recording label Banlieue Sale, run by French rapper La Fouine.

Fababy appears three times on La Fouine's album Capitale du Crime Vol. 3 with the tracks "J'arrive en balle" (I've come to the ball), "C'est bien" (It's Good), and "Jealousy".[9] His mixtape Symphonie des Chargeurs Vol. 1 (The Symphony Chargers Volume 1) was released on 27 February 2012 which includes the tracks "La Symphonie des Chargeurs", "Du Mal à Dire", "Avec La Haine" and "Problème".
