Goodie Mob Link Up With Chuck D For Raucous New Single “Are You Ready”

Goodie Mob and Public Enemy were two of the most influential groups of the 90s, with their poignant social observations taking on a new relevance today.

They’re also both no strangers to rock music. Public Enemy famously linked up with heavy metal band Anthrax for their remix of “Bring the Noise” and Goodie Mob have been dabbling in full-fledged rock since 1998’s Still Standing.

Their new collaboration sees the supergroup of rappers attacking (literally) the guitar heavy production with equally aggressive flows. It’s definitely a throwback sound.

Public Enemy recently announced a return to their bombastic brand of hip hop with a new album on Def Jam but we can only speculate whether or not Goodie Mob is also planning a comeback as a unit with a new album. It’s been seven years since their latest release as a group with 2013’s Age Against the Machine

Check out the official lyric video for “Are You Ready” below and share your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics

Standing in the middle of harm’s way
Where all of the guns play
No father home affects the feng shui
The pastor prays for Harambe
Before every urbanite is underneath the ash like Pompeii
Look what they’ve done to us far beyond music
Jesus could’ve been John Lewis but I can’t prove it

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.
