Swae Lee Weighs Rae Sremmurd Going Up Against Migos On “Verzuz”
It feels like it’s been a minute since we’ve had a Verzuz. For months, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland have delivered regularly scheduled Verzuz performances, the last being that of two icons: Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight. Fans have been anticipating the next set of artists, but it seems that the Verzuz gods are taking their time. Recently, Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee caught up with Power 106 in L.A. and discussed making an appearance on the online program, and the hosts mentioned the duo squaring off against Migos.

“All I’mma say is, we got a nice catalog,” Swae Lee said with a laugh. “We got some classics, I got some classics… The numbers don’t lie.” The host asked if Swae would be “down to do this” just in case the Verzuz head honchos were watching. “That would be good ’cause they got some hits,” the rapper added. “We got some hits, they got some hits.”
As usual, this brief moment during the interview has caused a discussion regarding if this is a fair match-up. We’ll have to wait and see if Timbaland and Swizz answer the call, but in the meantime, check out Swae Lee on Power 106 and let us know if you would tune into this Verzuz.

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.
