The result was an honest, heartfelt and witty album, the likes of which had seldom been heard from someone his age. Abound with captivating storytelling and magnificent production, the album would quickly receive critical praise. XXL gave it an ‘XL’ rating and called it an album that “resonates a lot more than the work of some rappers decades his senior.” HipHopDX called it “perhaps the most heir apparent to Nas’ ’94 classic.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMeshing beautifully and exclusively over the soulful loops of producer \u003cstrong\u003eExile \u003c\/strong\u003e— who wowed listeners and critics with \u003cem\u003eBelow The Heavens\u003c\/em\u003e, his 2007 collaboration with Blu — Fashawn's audio biography touches on his series of stepfathers (\"I called them all daddy\/even though they didn't have me\") and even a friend's suicide.
