Fresno, California rapper Fashawn featuring Aloe Blacc. The song appears
on their brand new Fresh Yard Records full-length All Hail The King,

singles "All Hail The King" (watch on Youtube) and "This Town" (watch on Youtube). Last year Sir Veterano released The Gathering (stream on Spotify), which featured singles "Reputable" featuring MC Eiht, Planet Asia and Mitchy Slick (watch the music video), and "Cocaine Rap featuring Murs (watch the music video)
as well as appearances from Bishop Lamont, Casual, Ras Kass, Guilty
Simpson, Phat Kat, Fashawn, K-Bizz, 4TWO7, M.E.D., Skillz and
Supastition. Nas executive-produced The Ecology, Fashawn's
recent album released via Mass Appeal. Fashawn also appeared on the 2010
XXL Freshmen cover alongside Wiz Khalifa, J.Cole, and Nipsey Hussle.
Growing up outside of San Francisco, Sir Veterano worked with Ras Kass,
Kool G Rap, Mad Skillz, Planet Asia and Slaughtahouse through the
mid-2000s and early 2010s, releasing the Latest and Greatest Vol.1 mixtape,
a doo-wop themed instrumental album in partnership with Dart Adam's
Producers I Know brand, and a DJ series of West Coast funk with
2DopeBoyz.com, before putting his career on hold in order to focus on
his personal life. In late 2018, Sir Veterano expressed interest in
rejoining the music business to his music manager, Walt Liquor - aka
4Two7 - and Kwa Nguyen, owner of Fresh Yard Clothing and Fresh Yard
Records. "We wanted to create a song for the women in our lives,"
Fashawn says about the new single. "Working within the thematic concept
of All Hail The King, it was appropriate to show appreciation for the
Queens of the Castle."
