Meek Mill Shows Wale Some Crew Love

It’s no secret that things weren’t always smooth sailing between Meek Mill and Wale. Yet in reality, the pair played an integral role in shaping Rick Ross’s MMG empire, having joined forces on a variety of hits — including some unreleased heat in the stash. Most recently, the MMG labelmates connected on Wale’s sixth studio album Wow…That’s Crazy, blessing the standout anthem “Routine,” produced by StreetRunner. And though they have yet to link up on wax since, it’s clear that the pair have come to appreciate all the ups and downs their friendship has spawned.

Taking to Instagram, Meek Mill shared a behind the scenes picture of himself and Wale in what appears to be a studio — though that’s merely an assumption based on the fact that two rappers are present. In any case, Meek makes sure to show some crew love to his longtime collaborator, poking fun at their occasionally contentious dynamic. “Me and @wale argued a thousand times & made millions together,” he writes, sparking a quick comment from Fabolous: “Wale loves the debates.”

Though hardly indicative that new music is coming, it’s certainly welcome to see the two lyricists united once again — not to mention able to poke fun at some previous tension. Check out the picture below, and sound off- what’s your favorite collaboration between Meek Mill and Wale? And in the spirit of the debates that Wale so enjoys, which emcee do you ultimately believe has the stronger discography?

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.
