Haven't had Fashawn in the lime light here on earmilk in a minute, so I'm stoked to be able to bring some new from my dude. Fashawn loves going in on those calming, mellow, instrumental type beats and I think that's what makes him so appealing. The first track is called "Fash Plays It Cool," its off his upcoming album entitled The Antidote, who hes actually tackling with the mighty Alchemist, who also produced this track.. the soothing horns on this make it all worthwhile. Second track is off a non-profit project hes working on which you can read about below, the track is called "Life As a Shorty," produced by exile. Check it out and enjoy:

In conjunction with our second annual multi-media event, two of our affiliates Ace Jones & DJ RBI have come together to create a mixtape for our event. With exclusive content from Fashawn, Kam Moye, Phat Kat, Raheem Devaughn, we will be leaking cuts from the tape until it drops on Sept 19th, the last day of our festival.
