New visuals from Fresno’s Fashawn, produced by Exile. This is the lead joint from Fash’s upcoming Boy Meets World album, which is setting up to be an incredible release. Could it be another Below The Heavens?
I recently mentioned that Shad was one of my favorite discoveries of the past year (watch this video to see why) and I should also add Fashawn to that list as well. The MC from Fresno (what up Blake?) killed every appearance I heard from him this year and he’s dropped a new mixtape to help close out the year in style. In conjunction with the homies at NahRight and OnSmash, check out Higher Learning:

Damn, I like everything about this video:
Be on the lookout for Fashawn’s debut album, Boy Meets World, in spring of next year. “Our Way” is the first peek off the project and judging by the quality here and on Fashawn’s One Shot, One Kill mixtape, you already know it’s gonna be fresh.
Cali’s on fire right now, but they also completely dropped the ball on the Prop. 8 ballot initiative banning gay marriage this past week. With statistics showing that nearly 70% of black and hispanic voters supported the ban, it’s incredibly disheartening to see people vote for equality and discrimination in one fell swoop. Hip-hop helped Obama win California (as if he needed any assistance), and then helped propagate homophobia and hatred. Fail.
