J. Cole Deletes Tweets Since 2009, Fuels Album Speculation

J. Cole moves mysteriously. He doesn’t give away his hand, keeping a poker face on until it’s time to make a move. Because of his recent step on Twitter, some of his fans think that his turn is coming.

Generally, when Cole is about to release an album, he’ll scrub his social media accounts to make room for the album’s promotion. For the last year, we’ve been hearing about The Fall Off as though it were coming soon. The project was seemingly delayed because of the pandemic but, with Cole deleting all of his tweets made after 2009, some people think that the time is finally coming.

“HOLYYYY SH*T J. COLE JUST CLEARED OUT HIS TWITTER,” wrote one fan on Twitter, noticing that the rapper had deleted absolutely all of his original posts and retweets, keeping the eleven-year-old material intact. “THAT ALBUM RELEASE IS DEFINITELY COMING,” they added.

While this doesn’t mean that an album is on the way, there have been rumors that Cole was planning to drop soon.

According to fans, this change was made a few weeks ago. Also, under the tweets & replies tab, his newer posts still appear. Could it be that this was just a glitch of some sort?

Back in July, the Dreamville general released two new singles, “The Climb Back” and “Lion King On Ice”, before seemingly disappearing again. Could we finally be witnessing his album rollout? Let’s all cross our fingers!

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.
