XXXTentacion’s Estate Releases New “CHASE / glass shards” Visuals
Fans of XXXTentacion were in for quite a surprise last Thursday evening when the deceased rapper’s Instagram account went live.
It turned out that his team had decided to go live from his account to promote a new set of visuals for the song “CHASE / glass shards” from his second posthumous album Bad Vibes Forever, which features Ikabod Veins. Fans were rightfully upset that it appeared that X’s team was using his Instagram account to promote another artist (Ikabod appears heavily in the video) but misguided marketing attempts aside, the video is here.
The song suffers from the same pitfalls of X’s posthumous music: it’s clearly unfinished and sounds more like an outside attempt to emulate the late rapper’s style rather than a sound he would have naturally gravitated towards. To put it bluntly, the song feels more like an Ikabod Veins song, with X only showing up towards the end like an outro and his voice heavily filtered for effect.
The video feels claustrophobic and raucous at the same time and exactly how the song sounds. Check out the video for “CHASE / glass shards” above and share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

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.
