LISTEN TO “GUESS WHO’S BACK” HERE
After months of anticipation, Fresno emcee Fashawn has finally announced the release of his long-awaited sophomore album, The Ecology, dropping on February 24th in a variety of formats including digital, CD and LP. Taking his music to the next level with Nas as the executive producer for this project, Fashawn promises that this full-length album will be well worth the wait, featuring a plethora of award-winning artists and producers including Nas, Aloe Blacc, Dom Kennedy, BJ The Chicago Kid, Alchemist, Exile, DJ Khalil and more.
Fashawn’s first single “Golden State of Mind” ft Dom Kennedy, released late last year, became an instant fan favorite and the critic’s pick for today’s top West Coast anthem. To follow the massive response, Fashawn releases the 2nd single “Guess Who’s Back” (prod. by Beewirks) which features gritty rhymes that paint a vivid picture of his personal situations and surroundings in the streets of his hometown Fresno. Fans can now pre-order the deluxe bundle of The Ecology and receive an instant free download of “Guess Who’s Back” at www.shop.massappeal.com.
In celebration of his album release, Fashawn will hit the road for his headlining “The Ecology Tour” across the country with DJ Exile, Vancouver-based artist SonReal and Atlanta rap duo EarthGang in support. Presented by GoSmart Mobile and Mass Appeal, with the help of industry heavyweight DMA, INC., the 26-city tour begins on February 26th at The Echoplex and runs through SXSW in Austin (full dates below).
