Words that rhyme with Fresco
As a two-syllable word, fresco sits on the round /ษ/ and ends on an open vowel. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Search rhymes for fresco long enough and you notice the pattern: the picked top sets below tell most of the story: the strict-rhyme column is bare, no near-perfect family slants exist for this one, and the vowel-only slant pool is deep enough to write a whole album from.

Why fresco rhymes the way it does
Fresco is built around the round /ษ/ (/ษ/); it's two-syllable and doesn't close on a consonant at all. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 92, assonance 11,440, and consonance 57. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. The songwriter's move is to pick a small set of strict rhymes for the chorus and open up to family and assonance through the verses. Fresco rewards slant rhyming because the strict pool, when over-used, calls attention to itself.
