T.I. & Jeezy Set A Date For “Verzuz”

It’s been an interesting few months for T.I. as he’s sent out challenges to several rappers to face him on Verzuz yet hasn’t really got a solidified response. Tip wanted to face Hov, then had his sights set on 50 Cent but when big, bad Busta Rhymes came out to play, the King Of The South pointed him in the direction of LL Cool J. 

The problem with T.I. facing off against individuals like Fif or Jay-Z or even Busta is that it didn’t really line up, sound-wise. Plenty of people suggested that T.I. go against Jeezy which makes the most sense out of all of the names thrown out there. T.I. seemingly suggested it was in Jeezy’s court whether he wanted to go face-to-face in the Verzuz arena.

Well, Jeezy said he wants all the smoke and now, the two Atlanta legends will be kicking off the next season of Verzuz. The line-up was announced last night, revealing Tip and Jeezy set to square off on Thursday, November 19th at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.

It’s certainly going to be one for the books. T.I. and Jeezy are both trailblazers for what trap music is today and they’ve touched the world in so many different ways. Regardless of the competitive nature, this will be one of the most anticipated Verzuz battles so far. 

Who do you think is taking this one home? T.I.? Jeezy? Sound off in the comments.

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.
