Joyner Lucas Spazzes On “Zim Zimma”

Joyner Lucas has officially come through with his second release of the year, Evolution, boasting thirteen new tracks and guest appearances from The Game, Rick Ross, Ashanti, and more. Yet one of the standout highlights finds Joyner flying solo on “Zim Zimma” (shout out Beenie Man), a banger that doubles as a masterclass in flow. Though Joyner has also proved adept at the more conceptual tracks, he’s more than capable of flexing his prowess with the best of them — and for those that forgot, consider “Zim Zimma” to be a reminder.

“If it wasn’t for this rap shit, I’d be movin’ kilos, front the pack from my connect then cop a few casinos,” he spits. “Used to fake it ’til I made it just to boost my ego / Stashin’ money in my shirt, they thought I grew some chichos.” As the track reaches its climax, Joyner takes a moment to channel Eminem’s “Godzilla” energy, whipping up his pace in a brief but verbally dexterous section; while perhaps not quite as rapid-fire as his predecessor, it’s clear that Joyner’s chopping ability is top tier. Check it out for yourself now, and be sure to show some love to the lyricist in the comments in you’re feeling his Evolution.

If it wasn’t for this rap shit, I’d be movin’ kilos
Front the pack from my connect then cop a few casinos
Used to fake it ’til I made it just to boost my ego
Stashin’ money in my shirt, they thought I grew some chichos

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.
