NBA Youngboy Reportedly Dropping New Project This Month

NBA Youngboy is already three projects deep into this year but it looks like he’ll be releasing at least one more before the year comes to an end. Though he’s taken a break from social media, it looks like he’s provided Akademiks with the inside scoop on his music situation. Youngboy will reportedly be releasing a compilation tape including all of the members of the NBA label before the end of the month.

“Spoke with NBA YOUNGBOY earlier today. He said he giving fans a whole NBA tape this month (compilation tape with all the members of NBA). He told me fans can look out for this to drop on October 20,” Ak tweeted from his burner account before sharing the screenshot to his official Instagram page. He also offered an update on NBA Youngboy’s social media whereabouts.

“Btw he’s taking some time off Instagram and promised he’ll be back very soon,” Ak added.

Just last week, the rapper was spotted filming a new music video for an unreleased song. Unfortunately, that was also what prompted his latest arrest. Police arrested NBA Youngboy and other people on the set of the video shoot on drug and gun charges. Though he was released last week, the rapper did delete his social media profile in the midst of videos of his arrest circulating. 

Looks like now that he’s out, he’s back to work. Peep Ak’s post below.

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.
