While on the Sacramento stop of Wiz Khalifa’s Deal Or No Deal Tour, XXL Freshman Fashawn gave The Mash Up some updates on his career. In this interview, Fashawn talks about the collab he has with “the greatest rapper alive”, the no-samples route he’s going with his next album, The Ecology, and goes over the semi-controversial Ode to Illmatic project. Fashawn also introduces us to Fresno’s own, Graphik and Bravo, of Section 8.
Fashawn’s Release Timeline:
- Ode to Illmatic - Early June
- Grizzly City 3 – Summer
- The Ecology – Unknown
UPDATE: Graphik sent me a freestyle from the Section 8 family that was recorded from the tour.

I know him and Wiz been on tour together so I figured they might do somethin…
no samples in the next album!? damn… those beats better be real good if they’re not gonna use samples, cuz samples tend to make instrumentals 10x better.
SONG WITH LIL WAYNE? WTF!?!?!?!?!?
fashawn murders little wayne, why the hell is fash doing tracks with fags
Fashawn is ill, doesn’t matter who he gets on tracks with. .the kid has real talent.
Tell me this dudes best song I never heard homie rap.
I can’t name homie’s best song right off the top, he has a lot of them. But here’s one just to prove to you he’s a good lyricist.

It’s funny because one of Fashawn’s strongest songs on Boy Meets World (The Ecology) is talking about the sad truth behind the very thing Lil Wayne encourages in his shitty music.
Ugh.
Nas???
NOT LOOKIN FORWARD TO AN ALBUM WITH NO SAMPLES.
PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG FASH!!!!!!!!!!!
“i wanna do alot more party songs” NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
