Eminem & Lord Jamar Have Squashed The Beef

For the longest time, Eminem and Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian found themselves at odds. A conflict that fans are well familiar with at this point, the origins of it need little rehashing. Rest assured that both parties did not seem to care for one another, and they made that abundantly clear through various interviews and barbs on wax. And while it seemed unlikely that the sparring partners would ever find common ground, it would appear that the diplomatic mediation of Royce Da 5’9″ has gone on to work wonders.

Following his own misunderstanding-fuelled conflict with Jamar, Nickle recently connected with the Godcast host, as well as co-hosts Rah Digga and Godfrey to clear the air and find some common ground. Evidently, their conversation proved to be a healthy and enlightening one, and in the climactic moments, Jamar took a moment to address the elephant in the room. “For the record, now that all this Vlad shit is done,” says Jamar, “tell your boy Marshall, you know — we good.”

Royce can’t help but smile at the revelation. “He’ll like to hear that,” says Royce, chuckling. “Remember, I was telling you last we spoke, he told me to tell you ‘what up.’ But he especially told me to tell the Queen what up. He said ‘yeah man, tell him I said I’m off that, man.’ And he was also like ‘yo, you’re going to go see Rah?! Tell her what up!’ He’s like a little kid, man. Same little kid from back when.” Clearly, Em holds Rah Digga’s emcee skills in high esteem — lest we forget that she was once associated with The Outsidaz, a crew with whom Em used to roll back in the day.

Check out the clip below, and show some love to Eminem and Lord Jamar for stepping up and moving past their differences.

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

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.
