A$AP Ferg To A$AP Mob: “You Can’t Kick Me Out”
From the sounds of things, there were definitely issues within the A$AP Mob earlier this year, which erupted when A$AP Illz called out A$AP Ferg, saying that he can’t make an anthem anymore. His insults were heard across hip-hop blogs and forums, discussing Ferg’s potential exit from the collective. A$AP Bari confirmed that Ferg had effectively been kicked out, but A$AP Nast disputed that claim, saying that he was still family.
A$AP Ferg even released a new song, titled “Big A$AP”, to explain the situation. Despite him not going into too much detail, he explains in a new interview with Genius that it’s impossible to be dropped from the Mob because, once you’re initiated, there’s no turning back.

“I don’t think there’s no breaking up of the Mob,” said Ferg. “It’s like, once you’re in the Mob, you can’t get out. This is blood in, blood out… because it’s not a contractual thing that makes me Mob. We was Mob before music.”
He went on to claim that, because he helped build A$AP, he can’t really lose his title.
“I’m definitely one of the leaders,” he said. “That could go without being said. You can’t kick me out of something I helped build. I brought millions and millions of dollars and fed families through my voice and my ideas… I bring equity into the brand. I mean, that’s like the carpenter. You can’t kick the carpenter out and expect for the house to have a roof.”
Hopefully, the group is able to amend their issues from within.

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.
