It’s so ILL to hear Rakaa on this track with Fashawn. I really appreciate how the Cali vets really embraced Fashawn down south and pretty much ushered Fash in as the next generation of emcee to carry the touch for Cali. Sick shit.

Seeing Fashawn rock the other night in S.F I really felt like I was watching the second coming of Ice Cube. Maybe it was because of his Sharks fitted cap, black and white checkered short sleeve button up, and slightly sagging black jeans making him look like he was casted in Boyz N The Hood that the allusion popped up. Stylistically his raps are different, but in terms of presence and handles. Fash’s voice never once cracks, never once falters from almost exactly how he sounds on wax only liver. It’s amazing, and when he finally does loosen up and truly fall into the zone he shuffles, bounces and falls back from his raps like a man participating in an American Indian ritual. Trilly he’s a new master of ceremonies for a new generation.

The Reignforest Collective and posse throw some super solid hip hop events here in S.F and around the Bay Area. “Listening Lounge” on June 18th @ 111 Minna continues the cycle by bringing up none other than Exile and Fashawn.  Also in the building is an amazing producer out of the Bay Area & now LA, 6 Fingers along with Vallejo emcee Top Kat. This show right here is un-missable if you’re in S.F trust me. 24KMilkCrate will be there front and center. Wouldn’t miss it for the world and neither should you!

Late pass me on this! Fashawn and Blu are Cali’s two incorruptible sons. They’re the young JFK and Robert Kennedy fighting the good fight in the land of Gangbangin and Jerkin.

Here’s a joint from one of 24KMilkCrate’s favorite Freshman 2010 alumnis Fashawn called “Life’s A Bitch” featuring Talib Kweli. The song is off Fashawn’s up coming ODE TO ILLMATIC project. One more reason why the kid was the best choice to have on that whole cover.

Hallway J & Peter Oasis’ “Simple Math” popped off at Santos in NYC. Here’s the segment during Fashawn’s seat featuring Chace Infinite and Curt@!ns rocking, “730″ from Chace’s “I Would Have Killed This”.  Pretty jawsome, take 5 lean back for a spell and get up on magic.

You know Chase Infinite keeps it lit! Throw Fashawn and Curt@!n$ and it’s starting to look like a  24KMilkCrate.Com issue. (if we did issues…hmm) LOL. I kid I kid.
