Label:Unsigned
Hometown:Fresno, CA
Bio
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.

Here's the latest release from Fashawn's #SundaySchool sessions.
"Got my head to the ground, no longer pray to the sky,
Still waiting on the answer to the question - why?
Guess you get it when you die,
You never understand your live till you press rewind."
