Fashawn – “The Score” feat. Planet Asia (MP3)

Fresno held it down something fierce on this one . Fashawn’s first verse got pretty wild by the end and Planet Asia’s bars were straight. This cut also features a rather compelling chopped up Barry White sample. It features a smooth melody that manages to give the song a hard edge when the boisterous chords come in.  According to OS, this track was a bonus on the Boy Meets World iTunes release and also makes an appearance on the BMC double vinyl. In the meantime enjoy this freebie while it lasts.
