Sounds of the City: Fashawn

Local rapper Fashawn is doing really well for himself these days -- touring and getting props all over the hip-hop blogs. His proper debut album, "Boys Meets World," is primed for a September release. Before that, he's playing scattered dates on the Rock the Bells festival series.

I got an early listen and I'll testify that it's quite an impressive album, entirely produced by Exile (of Blu & Exile). Today we're giving you the new single from the album, "Life as a Shorty." (Warning: Language NSFW) As a bonus, check out a fresh video below from the recent "Boy Meets World" listening party held in L.A.

Props To Fash And Heck For Doing It Doing It Doing It Well!!!

Dope track! Def gonna pick this up when it drops. FRESNO REPRESENT!

Fashawn is average at best. He'll never have a radio hit. Im not hating at all. Im just telling you how i feel about his music. Look out for Tee-Calee out of Visalia, now thats some talent

man, I hope this is Fashawn's year, everything is geared up to be.

1. he's really talented, and deserves it
2. him making it big will really bring exposure to other acts we have here.

I don't listen to allot of hip-hop. But when I do I have a high standard for lyrics. Fashawn surpasses that standard. He portrays an authentic Fresno experience that I can relate to.

Here's to his success.
