Chanel West Coast Finally Releases Her Debut Album “America’s Sweetheart”

Despite never having released a full-length album, Chanel West Coast is one of the better-known women in rap. Her work on Ridiculousness has made her a household name and her past alliance with Lil Wayne and Young Money, where she was signed to, painted her as a future star in rap.

Unfortunately, label issues have given her a hard go at things. She never truly lived up to her potential as a musician but, today, she’s starting over and giving things another try.

Chanel West Coast is more than just a TV star. She’s also an artist. On her debut studio album, she’s setting out to prove that. 

America’s Sweetheart comes by way of a surprise release, with Chanel giving barely any notice before dropping. The album features Too $hort, Dreezy, Porcelain Black, and more. 

A portion of the album’s proceeds will be donated to the REFORM Alliance, co-founded by Meek Mill, Jay-Z, Michael Rubin, and Robert Kraft.

Released independently, CWC explained why she titled the album America’s Sweetheart.

I called this album America’s Sweetheart because it’s an oxymoron and contradicts the perception that many have of me,” she said. “I have flaws. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve benefitted from white privilege and I’ve had second chances in life that, unfortunately, many people have not received. That’s why it was important for me to donate to the REFORM Alliance and do my part to address the injustices taking place in our world, particularly our Black and brown communities.”

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.
