"Sierra Leone Clarity" descriptive and direct, that's a nice line...
Fashawn's on form on this tape, more so than he was with the last two previous efforts on mixtapes (Ode to Illmatic and Grizzly City Vol. 3), J. Cole, Common, GLC and others make some good guest appearances, but Fashawn is there with his subject matter and I think that's what ranks it higher than the previous two tapes.
Standouts for me:
Down That Road
Relaxation
Do What I Gotta Do (LOVE the hook on this one)
Weed Nap (anyone know where that beat is from???? GLC!)
Higher (Remix) Kanye beat and Fashawn... Yeah!
Closer (Remix) Not exactly going to touch Common's direction with his rhymes on the original, but it's a good use of Dilla's beat.
Catch Me When I Fall - I like Fashawn the most on tracks such as this, more conscious than a Do What I Gotta Do.
Eastside Party - Nice beat to DaBoyAG1, Fashawn raps 'I was cut from a fabric, from thugs and drug addicts'.
Going Home (A fitting goodbye to the mixtape, 'I wrote this down whilst eating a toblerone' lol Fashawn croons 'I won't be happy until I get hooooooome', great track).
Great tape, must download.
SOPHOMORE ALBUM NEXT PLEASE!

Yeah, Fashawn's best tape since his official LP debut, Boy Meets World. He's touching back on the subject matter that he excels with and he's got a nice beat selection behind him on this tape. Can't wait for his sophomore... he should hook up with Kendrick Lamar next...

Yeah, I agree in terms of the quality of work. Kendrick could be a good collabo; I'd like to see him work with J. Cole more too (I think his production has improved quite a bit listening to the beats he provided, especially Big Dreams).

True, I just think J. Cole is from another world in comparison to him, but they're making good music together, so can't knock it!
Kendrick would be a great collabo though, agreed. Others that would be good to see him next to: Pigeon John and Eligh!

Props on giving it a chance, but if this is your first time listening to Fashawn, then you should have really checked for Boy Meets World instead????

Yeah, J. Cole is on the next level but the music they've done together has been really good and it would be good to see them continue their work together.
I'd like to see him work with Pigeon John and Eligh too, it'd be interesting to see how that'd work out as. Either way I'm looking forward to his next release.
