Just wanted to share a few videos from this rising star – I saw him live recently in Toronto, and he’s one of the very best hip hop acts I’ve seen in the last year.

Fashawn aka The Phenom (real name Santiago Leyva, born October 27, 1988) is an underground hip hop rapper from Fresno, California. He is best known for his debut album, Boy Meets World, which was produced entirely by one half of Emanon, Exile. He often collaborates with other rappers/producers such as Planet Asia, Evidence, The Alchemist, Exile, Blu,& U-n-i.
