Fashawn – “Santiago’s Revenge”
Download – “Santiago’s Revenge”
Fashawn goes in over the beat to Gucci Mane and Drake’s “Street Cred,” for the first leak off of his upcoming Grizzly City mixtape, dropping on August 24th. The project will mark the third release in his Grizzly City series.
Here’s Fashawn’s opening lines:
“I be moving zips like Sendspace,
and I ain’t talking bout no motherfuckin’ mixtapes,
Used to pitch 8balls on the corner pocket,
Full of grapes,
Never enough, then switched states,
That’s small timing,
Found the hustle and hogtied it.”
That Sendspace comment was hilarious.
If you’re not familiar with Fashawn’s music, you should listen to his critically acclaimed debut album, Boy Meets World. Also, be sure to check out the XXL Freshman’s Ode To Illmatic project!

Due to his classic hip hop style, flow, and lyrical content, Fashawn has received a number of comparisons to a young Nasir Jones. These comparisons became even more rampant after the Fresno California native released his debut album, Boy Meets World, which featured album artwork similar to Nas’ Illmatic.
The success of Boy Meets World helped Fashawn grace the cover of XXL Magazine this spring as one of 2010’s artists to watch. Most recently, he re-worked Nas’ classic Illmatic, giving it a West Coast feel in Ode To Illmatic.
