What happened to Piece?

"Feel this shit up in your chest just like a Mossberg
This shit'll blow you away and leave yo' heart stirred
These the last days, how could you not purge?
Ima get mine, make sure you got yours"

Gzus Piece - Get Ya Roll On
(From 3 For Da Dub album; 2026)

We've had some new Mic Terror, so here's some new Gzus Piece from the first of his two new albums. An understated jam which has been creepin' on ah come up in my rotation. A different type of Chicago "drive slow, homie"-core to Mic's OJ Simpson, but the overall effect is the same: Rap music to take a quiet, leisurely cruise around your neighbourhood to.

Step Up Late

Mic Terror ft. Easy O'Hare - Rent Money
(From The Terror Files album; 2026)

Video for one of my favourite songs from the Mic Terror album. Good timing too because I recently found another Mic loosie single from a few years ago that I missed when it first dropped. Call me Gab Gotcha the way I bless the M.I.C.

Mic Terror - Step On
(From Step On single; 2023)

Numbers On The Board

What's today's mathematics, God... literally. Me and the boiz have already tackled favourite Rap songs beginning with the letters of the alphabet, so how's about we talk favourite Rap songs which begin with numbers? It's rules, guidelines and codes we obey: the song must begin with a number and if you mention a Drake song I will track you down and set Jack Russell terriers on your testicles. Off the top like Adee Phelan, here's 21 favourites. If you havin' blog problems I feel bad for you, son. I got 99 problems, but a list ain't 1.

Wipeout!

Surf7 - Goose Coat
(From Goose Coat single; 2026)

Man, this song is such a grower. Philadelphia Drill that mixes the ignorance with the elegance. Tinkle, tinkle, little piano. Possibly titled Goose Coat because it sounds like Christmas snowfall? The remix with Meek Mill isn't necessarily bad, but is so unnecessary.

My Alphabets

I saw Instagram's alphabet musical challenge and a light bulb appeared above my dome. Man, I said to myself "once again it's on!" Thus, here's ur boi's favourite Rap songs for every letter of the alphabet. It's more of headache if you do it one song per artist, so of course I did it thatta way. Bloggin' ain't nothin' but a thing to me, because I'm a double O.G P-O-S-T. Do you know your alphabets, Martaveli? B-L-O-G.

Up South Trip

"Like veterans I'm forever servin'
I'm forever swervin', You got weed, I got the better version
I'm forever splurgin', stuff my blunts up like a taxidermist"

Yung Till - 209 Baby
(From 209 Baby single; 2026)

File this one under 'random regional finds.' The lad is from South Carolina, but the song sounds like what Louisiana Swag-Rap might sound like if such a sound ever existed. Call it Travis In That Water.

Late pass!

"Yeah, I had to crush the scene at the beach in Daytona
Call me Pimpy Le Peu, you know the aroma"

Ball Jones ft. Ice Smiles - Krushin' (remix)
(From Welcome To Little Rock compilation; 2004)

I love the DVD Couture Instagram page because it puts me onto random regional choonz I've never heard in my life and might never have heard otherwise. When I say Krushin' (remix) is bangin' in Little Rock I ain't talkin' about that episode of America Undercover, boiiiiiii. This song is naggingly simple and knawed its way into my current rotation with its regional period charm. Wish I'd heard it back in 2004.

Speakin' of 2004, there's been a lotta talk recently about Gym-bore Jones pioneering the rock star look in Rap. Nah, lads. Yous lot wasn't outside when this Canibus photoshoot hit da streetz like an asteroid in '04. As the late, great Gary Warnett once said, 'Bis came with that Bollywood '97 swag.

Canibus collates outfits in a room with 1000 candles lit, meditating on whether that's a shirt or a jacket.
