Despite only being 19 years old, West Coast emcee Fashawn raps like a 10-year-plus veteran. Taking a major step toward giving “‘90s babies” a leg up in the current hip-hop landscape, the Fresno native recently released a mixtape with Mick Boogie, entitled One Shot One Kill. On Our Way, Fashawn describes the gritty street life with a somewhat old-school/conscious kind of flow, sort of like Dilated Peoples. That comparison didn’t pop out of thin air; Evidence, the group’s frontman, joins Fashawn’s “way” with his unique combination of wit and humor. With a DJ Premier/Statik Selektah-like beat from fellow Californian Exile, Our Way proves that strong, lyrical emceeing isn’t confined by age or region— all it takes is soul.

Crazy beat, this dude can spit. Its got a different vibe for an underground track, but this song hits. Chorus is decent, but Fashawn has got mad skills on the mic. This song is an official underground mixtape banger, very impressed.

That picture is crazy. On one had it looks like well drawn portrait . On the other it looks like a snapshot. Is it real? This song is kinda broing on the production side. The Mc's are makin the song though.

Exile has recently became one of my favorite producers after checking out breakout L.A hip hop artist "Blu" and their critically acclaimed released "Below the Heavens" I feel Evidence's flow was pretty bored, but this is a decent track. I'll listen for more from Fashawn. In the meantime, this goes into rotation. Yo Z, y'all need to get some of Blu's work up on the BOOTH!

Exile is a solid producer, but he work here actually takes away from Fashawn's solid mic work. This new mixtape work is real solid, you should peep it if you like what you hear here. As for Evidence...solid as always.

I guess some of you might disagree, but this right here... is a straight banger for me. A smooth delivery complemented with a chill back beat. Reminds me of the good old days. Looking forward to the mixtape. Yo BDF44, the picture seems like a snapshot with a little touch of Photoshop.

This guy came out of nowhere..he can definitely put it down over a beat. His skills are something else for only being 19. And the beat is nice, not everything needs to be some bass beating club beat for all you lames out there. This some real music!
