Artist: Fashawn
Album: Boy Meets World
Release Date: Out Now!

Never heard of Fashawn? Don't worry, most people haven't. Heed this warning though: Soon, very soon, everyone will know his name. This is more than hip hop, more than soul and way more than average.

Although he's been rhyming for years now, Boy Meets World is Fashawn's debut album. Already, he's out on tour with Ghostface - keep in mind that he only has ONE album...and it just came out. The reason for his quick rise is evident as soon as you hear the first track on the album. Fashawn can rhyme with blistering speed and lyrical complexity but the music takes this out of the realm of simple hip hop.

The album is rich in soulful melodies set to hard-hitting beats. Influences of soul, R&B, jazz and rock are apparent in every track on this gem. Whether you're into hip hop, pop, rock or whatever, get this album.
