California emcee Fashawn released his second album, The Ecology via Mass Appeal Records last February and the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive.
Recently performing at Soundset Music Festival, the Nas protégé sat down with HipHopDX Editor-In-Chief Justin Hunte and talked about the LP and how excited he was that everything came together for it.
“It’s out now. It’s living in people’s homes now,” he said when asked about The Ecology’s reaction via DX Daily. “People wash their dishes to my album. People cook dinner to my album. It’s part of people’s lives now. It’s no longer an idea that me and my team are plotting. It’s all action now, forward motion and I’m so excited and couldn’t be more proud. This is exactly how I planned it.”
Fashawn also hopes his latest effort will “stand the test of time” and remain on the headphones and in the cars of fans for years to come.
“I wanted to put a project out that hopefully will stand the test of time like my first project,” he said. “The way we brought this to you with Nas and Mass Appeal, the time I took off from rapping, etc., the culmination of all those things makes all of this worth it.”

what a real dude. Been a big fan of his for awhile. This album is classic imo. Need more mcs like this to surface. Much love fash!!
And it flopped exactly how i planned it. Nas and Mass Appeal stay losing. Hov and Roc Nation keep making power moves.
Fuck U bitch. Nas aint never loose. He put the barrell in camel mouth u dick sucker cant stand to see the Don be the winner…Biggie couldnt so does all the jay stans.. Fuck all yall #NaSIsKing #JayIsSellOut
It’s good to hear an artist just straight up say how satisfied they are with their work, regardless on sales or whatnot. The album was definitely good in my opinion. Been a fan for a while so am looking forward to Fashawn growing more and releasing dope music. One of the best 2015 releases this far imo.
Boring ass album from a brilliant rapper. Boy vs world bumped way harder
God, you’re like the worst type of fan. So long as it isn’t on a major or it was the first album, then it was FLAWLESS, NEVER DONE BEFORE, but when it is, it sucks, yada yada yada, and what not. And your handle indicates that you must be no older than 16.
thats nas. doesnt ask for a single like jayz with jaye
dope ass album fasho this guy is dope!!!
Good to hear Fashawn again after that masterpiece Boy meets world…he sounds better than a teenager on Boy meets world, although I like boy meets world more…
Very good album and refreshing…
