Fashawn The Ecology

After impressing listeners with a stream of mixtapes and his 2009 debut, Boy Meets World, Fashawn received mainstream recognition in 2010 thanks to XXL highlighting the MC as one of the year’s freshman to watch for. He capitalized on that by continuing to work with Alchemist and Evidence while also crafting a tribute mixtape in An Ode to Illmatic. But all of that was a warm-up to his sophomore effort, The Ecology, which is named after one of Boy Meets World's best songs. The production line-up remains unknown, but it’s likely that Exile will again make an appearance behind the boards.
