Fashawn - The Antidote



California's Fashawn will be releasing his first full-length Boy Meets World next month (October 20th) and will be accompanied by Exile for the production. However, that has not stopped Fashawn from releasing one more mixtape prior to his debut. The Antidote is a very brief (11 tracks and roughly 20 minutes) offering that does little but put his name out there one last time prior to officially releasing an effort (and having The Alchemist put it together can't hurt). Although he is from the west coast, his influences seem to be mostly east coast (ie., Tribe Called Quest, Talib, Mos, De La Soul, as well as other more "conscious" style rappers). If Exile can create an album that suits Fashawn's style (in the same way he was able to accompany Blu the other year), listeners will be in for a treat.
