''Boy Meets World'' is the debut solo album by American rapper Fashawn, with all songs produced by Exile. It was released by the independent record label One Records on October 20, 2009. The album features guest performances by Aloe Blacc, Evidence, Blu, Planet Asia, Mistah Fab, Co$$, Devoya and J. Mitchell. Music videos were made for "Life as a Shorty", "Samsonite Man", "Our Way", "Sunny CA" and "The Ecology/The Score". ''Boy Meets World'' received critical acclaim from critics who praised the production and storytelling and received attention from highly respected hip-hop artists. == Background and development == By 2007, Fashawn had gained attention in the music industry by releasing a series of successful mixtapes. Meanwhile, Exile had joined forces with Blu to release ''Below the Heavens'', an album that would go on to receive wide acclaim. Fashawn gravitated toward Exile's production on ''Below the Heavens'', and both soon came into contact through their respective management teams. In an interview recalling their initial encounter, Exile said: "The first time I ever heard Fashawn rap, my imagination just started going. I started thinking about the possibilities of his voice, and what (he could ) spit over my beats. I could hear that there might be something special, so I wanted to get him some more beats to see what we could come up with." The album was recorded at studio sessions in both Fashawn's hometown of Fresno, California and Exile's hometown of Los Angeles, California. Fashawn wrote lyrics for the album up until six months before its release, thus making him between 18 to 19 years old during most of the album's creative process.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boy Meets World (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
