Lud Foe Has His “Guns Up Funds Up” With New Album

Lud Foe’s new album Guns Up Funds Up opens with the blistering “YNS” and it doesn’t lose momentum for a single second of its 43 minutes.

The rapper introduces a bouncier version of the variant of drill from his native Chicago in such a way that even YBN Nahmir sounds like he’s in his element.

Features are scant but effective. Foe has a keen sense of song structure and is more than capable of carrying a song solo so when a song does have a feature, it’s thoughtfully curated.

Lil Uzi Vert, Nahmir, and fellow Chicagoan Lil Durk join Foe, pushing him out of his comfort zone to experiment with melody and tempo. 

Foe is an adept rapper and finds a way to make the different vibes work for him but he sounds best employing the menacingly calm and soft-spoken flow on songs like “Composure” with Durk.

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.
