Release your inner Biggie. FAME, the Bay Area's original monthly hip-hop karaoke night, goes down the last Friday of each month at BOCA (Bar of Contemporary Art) at 414 Jessie Street, SF.

Hosted by DJ White Castle (SweatBox) and Hector Preciado, FAME promises to become a Bay Area institution.

No freestyles. No open mic. Just karaoke, but with the beats and the rhymes that everyone knows and loves.

With more than 400 songs to choose from, audience participation is guaranteed. We drop the beat. You rock the mic.
