Fashawn - 21 To Grow On (His Best So Far) Mixtape

Today Fresno CA's newest talent and a genuine force within Hip-Hop AKA Fashawn is releasing his new album "Boy Meets World" and trust me it will register as one of, if not thee best Hip-Hop LP in years....

Celebrating and paying proper respect to the vivid young rhymer, the good folks over at http://fresnobeehive.com/ put together 21 of Fash's best joints previous to the new album...

Pretty hefty praise to have folks compiling your work before you even turn 21 years old (his born day is later this week) but then again "The Phenom" has been over achieving and on his grind for some time now...Never the one to slack off, even the week of his album release his schedule is full, touring with Ghostface and prepping for a CD release show with Talib Kweli on Saturday. Way to get it in huh?

His efforts reflect highly in his music, where the thoughtful and witty bars he pens and spits with great fluidity have made him the under study to two of L.A.'s all-time best producer's in The Alchemist and Exile, the latter of whom produced the entirety of "Boy Meets World" (and did a smash bang job BTW).

All the tracks on "21 To Grow On" are intricately picked from Fash's mixtape catalog and truly reflect why all of us writers, critics, journalists and bloggers are billing this young Cali kid as perhaps the heir apparent to a clearly vacant seat as the next great lyricist in Hip-Hop. While I like this lineup of mixtape goodies a whole lot, I must also say that few of the tracks even scratch the surface of what Fash achieved on his debut...

Go grap "Boy Meets World" today...
