Santiago Leyva (born October 19, 1988), better known by his stage name Fashawn, is an American rapper from Fresno, California. He first gained recognition for his debut studio album Boy Meets World (2009), which received critical acclaim and landed him on the cover of XXL Magazine's Top 10 Freshmen issue in 2010. He signed with Nas' record label Mass Appeal Records in 2014 to release his similarly-acclaimed second album and major label debut, The Ecology (2015).
