Nyck Caution & Joey Bada$$ Drop Off “How You Live It”

Pro Era hasn’t been the most active label this year, but that’s not to say the New York based collective hasn’t been putting in the work behind the scenes. Now, Nyck Caution has come through to deliver a new single, calling on the talents of Joey Bada$$ to round out “How You Live It.” As expected, the track features a smooth beat courtesy of Canis Major, and Nyck Caution wastes little time in putting down some premium bars. “I’m better than a referee, don’t let the internet fool you,” he reflects. “A hundred K on the Gram doesn’t make you a celebrity / public figures with these fuckin’ pictures.”

Joey Bada$$ slides through to make his presence felt with a brief but dexterous verse, flexing his growth as both an emcee and a budding real-estate developer. “They sending shots, better kill me dawg, I’m on a killstreak,” he raps. “I do these flows filthy, so much flows I started investing in realty / got so much gold, all this jewelry make a n**a feel guilty.” Though he passes the mic before the kicks and snares return, Caution is more than capable of handling the majority of the load. If anything, it’s a testament to the chemistry of the Pro Era team, and a reminder of what’s to come in the new year.

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Off the Jameson I turn into an animal, baby
Shows with Eric, bitch, I’m feelin’ like Hannibal, baby
Burn up, I roll some words and now my calendar crazy
Different country every night, let’s some capital, baby

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.
