"Whole time I'm preachin' to the youngins stop the beef
Whole time I just rolled an opp up in my leaf"
Mic Terror - Whole Time
(From The Terror Files album; 2026)
>
Whole time Terror's music is what Nas meant when he said there's only Mic. Can we have a video for Lyrical Shit next plz?
"Sometimes negative is good like a aids test
The answer is negative if it pays less
I want positive answers, you better say YES!
Couldn't tell when I was hurtin' 'cause I stay fresh"
Mic Terror - Lyrical Shit
(From The Terror Files album; 2026)
For decades, DOOM fanboys have been trying to identify the sample from King Geedorah's Fazers to no avail. The only clue was in this 2003 interview where DOOM said it was from "some p*rno with a skinny guy in cowboy boots with 2 chicks with him" which his friend/the song's co-producer E-Mason was watching in the studio. 23 years later, a DOOM fanboy finally found the track it comes from on an early 90s library muzak album. DOOM was an unreliable narrator known for bullshitting journalists and fanboys alike, but it's very plausible it could have been used in a smut flick, right? If DOOM fanboys ever find the movie it was used in then that shit is gonna go triple platinum on XHamster.
Musikos Music Library - Track 5
(From Musikos Music Library 254 album; 1991)
Finally this song drops after countless snippets. More importantly, finally Atlanta Rap ups the BPMs. You can learn a lot about life from Rap songs and what we have here is BunnaB's guide to Game 4 Girlz. It's edutainment, Jim, but not as KRS One knew it.

You hear that, Helen? He's tearin' it up that fella. The best Audiomack playlist I've ever made is my Martorialist Classics Not On DSPs one, an ongoing streamable compilation of my favourite Rap songs I can't currently find on DSPs in my region. Ur boi recently added to it with a buncha other songs which are personal classics, so here's a re-up. It's still missing certain songs which get a automatic DMCA strike even though they're not on any DSPs, but these are the breaks. You can catch me in a dice game listenin' to High Plains, God said this playlist's name, the sky opened and the lights came.
Plz believe the one song per artist rule is still in effect. One song per artist means this playlist is a labour of love. Anything more than one song per artist would turn it into a huge headache. And the playlist still starts with Step Up Front by Positive K because that's the song which inspired me to put it together in the first place.
Doggystyleeee - The West Ain't Dead
(From The West Ain't Dead single; 2026)
I'll never get bored of this West Coast sound, so gimme a few singles in this vein every year "til infinity. This song gets in where in fits in into my 2026 rotation alongside Me N The Boyz by Kurupt & Battlecat and The Burbs by Mitchy Slick. Essentially, this is a Kokane song which was recorded by Doggystyleeee. I don't get the "I'm throwin' up the set like arthritis" line, but it sounds sick the way he says it.
Young Dro - Fresh
(From Best Thang Smokin' album; 2006/YouTube; 2026)
Did Young Dro get his masters back? I ask because he's just shot another 20th anniversary video for one of the best album cuts from his Best Thang Smokin' LP. Like I said last time, these type of videos are always welcome because they give new leases of life to old favourites which have long since fallen out of your regular rotation. Wouldn't say no to Dro shootin' 20th anniversary videos for some of his best 2006 mixtape cuts either. Namely What It Is with T.I. and Cartoon.
Old Chicago underground Rap has got me so open right now that I'm wishin' I could travel back in time to every Scribble Jam from 1996 to 2002. I'm a Rap connoisseur and these two songs by J.U.I.C.E and Rhymefest are currently my manure. But why does Rhymefest call J.U.I.C.E a "snake n***a" on the Prepare For The Fest remix? I thought they've always been m8s who just had a friendly rivalry?
Pac Div - Slider
(From Still Sealed Vol. 1 album; 2026)
Back like deja vu it's... Pac Div soundin' nothin' like the Pac Div of old. I fuxwit this song because it's a dense, minimalist piano track which somehow sounds like it could have come out on Maybach Music Group or Mello Music Group. File Slider under 'songs which could feature cameo verses by Gunplay orMurs.'
Conclusive proof that Britain was the key early adopter of Rap music: the only #actually live TV performance of The Message in the 1980s was on late night U.K yoof TV show The Tube. Melle Mel bosses it as half-rapper/half-raconteur, Rahiem makes a perfect stand-in for Duke Bootee on both Duke's verses, The Furious Five are dressed as ridiculously as you'd expect and Grandmaster Flash looks like La Forge from Star Trek had been beamed down onto the set of Cruising. The group even end the performance by assauling a copper as revenge for getting arrested in The Message video. Old skool Rap music TV gold, which should be as celebrated/cherished as Run-D.M.C performing Sucker MC's on Graffiti Rock.
Obligatory wrap-up post of those songs I've played most during the month when Bubba Sparxxx became Brotha Sparxxx. Bubba ain't choose to tan, tannin' chose him, so he hit the track black like Soul Man.
Bonus bloggin: 1nce again I'm gonna use my monthly wrap-up post to keep track of the best movies and TV shows I've been watching. * indicates rewatches dunnit.
Buckshot LeFonque ft. Uptown - Breakfast @ Denny's (Uptown Version)
(From Buckshot LeFonque album bonus track; 1994)
Sum shit I never knew until this new episode of Salute The Sample: there's a bonus track remix of Buckshot LeFonque's Jazz-Rap anthem Breakfast @ Denny's featuring Uptown of Dope On Plastic minor-fame on vocals. All these years I never even knew there was any kind of vocal mix. And I'll be damned if it isn't better than the single mix and shouldn't be considered the definitive version.
Another tasty unreleased J.U.I.C.E cut from the late 90s which didn't come out back then for some unfathomable reason. This song is the polar opposite of Rip It because it's a storytelling track with J.U. Kasa as Illinois' vividest author. Matter of fact, the way J.U.I.C.E spins his yarn on here is compatible to Roots Of Evil era Kool G. Rap.
Duke Deuce - I Told Yuh
(From America Is Ours album; 2026)
Feathers Up is so my shit, I'd slept on I Told Yuh. With his new-found indigenous Injun swag, Duke has become Project Pat junior and the 79rs Gang cousin at the SAME DAMN TIME! Real Conscious-Rap fight music to knock someone unconscious to
Jayy V Vondon - Don In My City
(From NYC mixtape; 2023/Don In My City single; 2026)
I came across this song on Instagram earlier this week and thought it was pretty cool. But my epiphany with it came yesterday when Johnny The Boxxx compared it to a 2009 Jim Jones anthem. EUREKA! The video even features a sidekick homie who looks kinda like Sen City. A baronial New York banger which deserves a club like The Tunnel. Don't get it twisted tho: the remix will be an absolute shit sandwich of the usual boring N.Y rappers-turnt-podcasters + Remy Ma.
**EDIT** I just peeped this song on Soundcloud and it was #actually released 3 years and originally titled NYC. Sod it, tho - it's still a 2026 single to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Young Dro - They Don't Really Know Bout Dro
(From Best Thang Smokin' album; 2006/YouTube; 2026)
A 20th anniversary video for one of the most anthemic album cut on Young Dro's first LP innit. I'm a fan of rappers shootin' belated music videos for a variety of reasons, the main one being that they give new leases of life to old favourites which have long since fallen out of your regular rotation. If bloggin' is a motorcycle, you in my sidecar with these dozen 2006 anthemic album cuts which also deserve 20th anniversary videos.
J.U.I.C.E - Rip It
(From unreleased; 1996 or 1997/The Man EP expanded reissue; 2023)
Whenever there's a release of shelved tracks by a 90s indie rapper, there's always one song on there which has you thinking "why on Earth did they not release this as a 12" single???" Rip It is funky enough to be a 45 King production and J.U.I.C.E could have been' rippin' stages at Scribble Jam and Scribble Jam alike with this track in the late 90s. More importantly, Rip It could have been a big choon in the racks at the Mr Bongo record shop. You disagree? Put your thoughts in park like jurassic.
"Never do my brother like Of Mice And Men
I guess I'm dead wrong in this life of sin
Bitches get treatin' like recyclin'
Baby momma and her patna say I'm triflin'"
Ezale - One Job
(From One Job single; 2026)
Mobby Brackins returns proper for 2026 after the Make Her Gig video and a couple of cameos. One Job only took around three weeks from initial snippet to official audio, which is the equivalent of three days in Ezale time. Pleased to report that he's consistent as ever with his ToNHTe Show-core brand of Mob Music. Ezale only got one job, to make music I can post on this blog, can't call in Sic Wit Tis in his full time job.
Related: R.I.P to Tone Capone who produced some of the greatest NorCal Rap songs of all time plus some Rap-A-Lot Records favourites. I'm gonna pick Devin's Georgy as my underrated Tone production of choice, purely because it seems like everyone except me hates that song. In fact, I think Devin himself hates that song because I once read a message board post where some guy who'd gone to see Devin live bumped into him outside the club and asked him if he was going to perform it and Devin gave him the gas face.
Another old Everlast single I hated when it was in MTV rotation which is now my choon. How I learned to stop hating and love Everlast singles: do NOT listen to them via their videos. The visualz make me sick like Strawberry Quik. Black Jesus is not so much word salad as phrase salad, but he laced this shit with one helluva tasty dressing. Where Ends sounds like the prototype for Bubba Sparxxx's Deliverance, Black Jesus sounds like what I wish the Chris Cornell of Soundgarden album produced by Timbaland had sounded like.
BunnaB ft. YKNiece & Black Queen - K.O.
(From K.O. single; 2026)
Haughty hoes come in all shapes and sizes like women's underwear. More Back To The Future-Rap from Atlanta's Dame of Disrespect & a couple of her coven. ATL went from Brick Squad to Chick Squad. Keep 'em comin', Bunna luv, because I can't get enough of this stuff.
Trunk Boiz & Seiji Oda - Never
(From Right Back In EP; 2026)
That Trunk Boiz & Seiji Oda EP is like my favourite present on Christmas, it's too gifted. Here's a video for my third fave track from It. Only Northern California could devise a Rap song which combines En Vogue and Ian Paisley.
Bonus beats: the Float On sample in Go Dumb by Trunk Boiz & Seiji Oda reminded me that Aardman Animations once did an advert for Cadbury's Cream Eggs with an interpolation of that very song. One thing us Brits do particularly well is erotic TV adverts for chocolate; competition is none, we remain on top like Carol Vorderman's bum. Me? Scorpio, but I'd like to get my chops around Aquarius.
