Preme & Popcaan “Link Up” For Sunny New Tape
Following the release of “Comfortable” with Davido last week, Popcaan and Preme drop off their highly anticipated joint project Link Up.
Wiz Khalifa, BEAM, and French Montana join Davido as guests on the project but standout cut “Weekend” demonstrates what is best about this project distilled: the effortless chemistry between Popcaan and Preme on a track. When the two go bar for bar on “Freeze,” you can’t help but feel like they’re having fun in the studio together when you hear lyrics like “diss OVO man, yuh wi’ get pebble/Reps Up killy sen’ yuh ah heaven.”
With the exception of MURDA, which first appeared on Popcaan’s Fixtape, the project is entirely helmed by Toronto producer Jaegen, who is best known for his dancehall-tinged work with Ramriddlz and on French Montana’s “Unforgettable.”
His dreamy textures wrap Popcaan and Preme’s voices in a gentle cloud as the tropical beats anchor the rhythms to the dance floor. With six tracks and running just under 20 minutes, it’s worth a listen to kick your weekend off with some good vibes.
Link Up is available on all streaming services now. Share your thoughts on Preme and Popcaan’s new tape in the comments below.

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.
