A rapper born and raised in Fresno, CA
With all the talk that hip-hop is
dead, there’
s no better example than Fashawn to prove that it’
s certainly alive, well and being fed to a hungry new generation of Hip-Hop fans. And after listening to just 16
bars it’
s evident that Fashawn is one of the hungriest. He’s a prodigal son, part of a new generation of emcees lucky enough to grow up in hip-hop’
s golden era. He’
s not an ’80s baby; he’s a ’90s baby. Think about that for a second. Then think about his potential.
Fashawn’
s charisma and
talent have placed him at the forefront of Central California'
s hip hop scene, steering a vibrant pack of young artists with his innovative style and originality in his
music.
His content is streetwise, having grown up in rough East Fresno, hip to what’
s happening in the streets but also kickin’ it with the skaters who listened to Hieroglyphics. That combination yields a street-smart rhymer who can deliver content. His lyrics are smart; keen on songwriting as well as wordplay.
