Busta Rhymes Drops Apocalyptic “ELE 2” Trailer

Anyone listing Busta Rhymes as one of the rap game’s greatest rappers of all time wouldn’t get many objections from purists in the know. And though it’s been a minute since we’ve heard a full-length album from the legendary Flipmode rapper, that’s about to change with the imminent arrival of Extinction Level Event 2: The Wrath Of GodDue out for release on October 30th, the day before Halloween, the project is set to pick up where its predecessor Extinction Level Event: The Final World Front left off in 1998.

With the anticipated album only a few weeks away, Busta took to Instagram to share an appropriately apocalyptic teaser trailer. Though it doesn’t share an extended glimpse at any new music, it does proceed to strike an intriguing tone, walking through a haunting timeline of America’s darkest days. All the while, Busta appears to be entranced in a deep slumber, driven by an urgent demand to “wake up.” The whole thing is rather tense, which bodes well for fans hoping to see a return to Busta’s more frenzied delivery. 

Based upon the two singles he has released thus far — the Vybz Kartel-assisted “The Don & The Boss” and the Anderson .Paak-assisted “YUUUU” — it’s difficult to say that ELE 2 will bring to the table. One thing is for sure, however. The fans are eager for some new Busta Rhymes, and it’s likely this new trailer will go a long way in furthering the hype. Check back on October 30th for the prophecy to be fulfilled.

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.
