Logic Flexes Ridiculous Collection Of Golds & Platinums

Despite his run as one of hip-hop’s biggest gamers, Logic was never really one to bring the world of shit-talking into his music. In fact, Bobby Tarantino was widely appreciated as one of hip-hop’s humblest, most easygoing individuals. Even when he did engage in mild feuding, he ultimately moved to turn an enemy into a friend — as he did with his “ISIS” collaborator Joyner Lucas. Suffice it to say, Logic has consistently possessed every ability to flex, even if it wasn’t always his style to do so.

Well, it would appear that retirement has awakened the rapper’s competitive spirit, and damned if the man didn’t take to Twitter to unveil an absolutely ridiculous collection of gold and platinum plaques. By his tally, that’s seventeen singles certified gold, with eight more singles certified platinum. On the album front, we’re looking at three gold, and two platinum — the two being Everybody and Under Pressure. “Am I still underground or nah?” he tweets, turning the tables on anyone still questioning his position.

At this rate, don’t be surprised to see Logic’s collection expand in the years to come. We’ve long seen rappers temporarily enjoy retirement, only to be inevitably lured back into action for one reason or another. Perhaps it will be the vacant space on the wall that sparks Bobby back into action, the unfillable void that only gold and platinum plaques can fill. Or perhaps he’ll simply miss the thrill of delivering a new project upon the masses. Either way, he’s a long way from the underground from whence he came.

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.
