After releasing his critically acclaimed debut album Boy Meets World in 2009, Fashawn went silent. Now that he is signed to Nas’ Mass Appeal Records he has gotten his second wind and is gearing up to drop to his sophomore effort. The album, The Ecology, is set to be released on Feb. 24th and will feature Nas, Dom Kennedy, Aloe Blacc, BJ The Chicago Kid with production provided by Exile, Beewirks, The Alchemist and more.
The same week of his album release, the west coast spitter will be embarking on a 26-city tour along with SonReal, Exile and EarthGang. It kicks off on Feb 26th in Los Angeles and continues through New York City, Toronto, Boston and even includes a few dates at the South by Southwest festival.
