21 Savage Details Visit With Jay-Z

On the eve of his upcoming collaboration album with Metro Boomin Savage Mode 2, 21 Savage sat down for a lengthy conversation with DJ Scream and Big Bank’s Big Facts, whereupon a variety of different topics were covered. One such topic included his experience with ICE, which found him facing threats of deportation that continue to plague him to this day. Yet even during those dark times, 21 was met with an outpouring of support from his fellow rappers, including Jay-Z, who appears to have left a lasting impression on the young artist after helping deal with his ICE-related legal fees

“When I got out, I pulled up on Jay-Z at his house and shit,” he reveals, following up on his harrowing ICE experience. “Him and Beyonce was in there. And we was kicking it. He a regular n***a. I just was thanking him. When I first got out I texted him like, I’ma pay you back. He was like, I don’t want your money, pay me back by being great. So I pulled up on him, chopped it up thanked him and shit, cause he ain’t have to do that.”

“When I got out I really started to see all the love, like damn, that’s crazy,” he continues. “And I noticed all the fake love too, all the n***as who didn’t show love. So if you wondering why I’ve been stiff on you since I got out, it’s cause you a bitch, and you did not say ‘free me!’” 

Check out the clip below, and keep an eye out for 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s Savage Mode 2, which lands in full tonight complete with a nostalgic Pen & Pixel designed album cover. What are the chances the project features an appearance from Hov?

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

KYLE

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
