Fashawn’s ‘One More Try’ … the greatest Fresnocentric song ever?
I’m probably just a prisoner of the moment on this one, but current Fresno rap king Fashawn just dropped a new hometown anthem featuring Omar Aura and did something so brilliant I don’t know why it hadn’t been done before.
He rapped over Timmy T’s 1991 chart-topper “One More Try,” creating a song that overdoses on Fresnawesomeness. I’m not going to lie, I totally marked out when the beat came in. Even the artwork for “One More Try” is great. Listen to or download the song below. (Warning: NSFW language)
Well done, Fash, well done.

the song brings tears to my eyes.
Pretty legit.
OH HELL YEAH HELL YEAH THAT’S RILL TRILL NO TOWN GHETTO FAB
Fashawn is great here as always. But my favorite Fresno song will always be “Herndon and 99″ by Mr. Ashod Simonian and Panty Lions.
If there is no Timmy T reference, I rest my case!
But seriously, you should give me that song.
jeffresno may be able to provide you with the original, but you can also find covers of it by rademacher
mike,
for some reason i’m not seeing a player or link to the track.
Hmm. It’s a SoundCloud embed.
But here’s the direct:

Nah, Jim Lyons “In Fresno” for the (cheeseball) win:
“But the greatest city of allll
Home of the very first mallllll
Is Fres-noooo….”
Does nyone remember the Local 13?
