Mýa ft. Too $hort - Just A Little Bit
(From Just A Little Bit single; 2026)

This ain't Gina G, motherf**kers! $hort and Mýa go back like babies and pacifiers? Most unexpected collaboration of 2026 so far or what? This song sounds like it could have dropped at any point in the last 30 years and that's why it's so good. Throwback R&Boogie which NorCal's electric-boogalooing fonky-grampa OG Mike Chaos can strut his stuff to. This shit is so Grown & Gorgeous™ that $hort even put a suit and tie on for the video.

Vince FM

Vincent Gallo - Drowning In Brown
(From Buffalo '66 soundtrack; 1998)

Drowning In Brown from Vincent Gallo's Buffalo '66 soundtrack is the best Check Your Head instrumental interlude which the Beastie Boys never recorded. Someone should interview Gallo and ask him about his favourite early 80s Rap songs from the Prince Vince era. What was he listening to on this boombox in 1983 when he was drowning in baby-blue? Definitely Spoonie Gee and Run-D.M.C, but who else and which songs specifically?

Juiceboxxx really missed a trick by not rhyming over Drowning In Brown one time like 'Clef on the Fugees joint. Speaking of 'boxxx, Like A Maniac is up there with Lifestyles Of The Rich And Infamous by Ice-T and Touring by the Ramones in my personal canon of Songs About Life On The Road. On the air guitar-ometer, Like A Maniac scores a Bill & Ted "EXCELLENT!"

Juiceboxxx - Like A Maniac
(From Heartland 99 album; 2015)

Dance To My Misandry

Bri3 - Whatever
(From Whatever single; 2026)

The golden-era era of Hateful Hoe Rap singles continues with this song by Maryland's Bri3. Definitely wasn't expecting a cheeky Heavy D sample in a 2026 song. The overly critical hater's in the house! Give me more professionally A&R-ed Rap singles and less 74 second brainfart throwaway tracks.

Bonus beats: Seiji Oda brought the Trunk Boiz back again. A cool breeze on the boombox of AM radio bubblegum Hyphy. If I ruled the world this song would be the Steal My Sunshine of 2026.

Seiji Oda & Trunk Boiz - Go Dumb!
(From Go Dumb! twingle; 2026)

Great song from a forgotten Rap album

Me & My Cousin - My Day
(From International album; 1996)


As featured in ur boi's recent Martorialist classics not on DSPs playlist. Me & My Cousin were a Solano Country, California duo who began their career in 1992 as Kriss Kross' older brothers, but then found their final form in 1996 when they transformed into the Luniz' long-lost siamese twins after hooking up with Ruthless Records G-Funk royalty Rhythm D for their only album International. Smooth was the album's main single and, fair play, it's a cool song. But it ain't nowhere near as cool as My Day where Rhythm D G-Funkified Shaggy's Boombastic for the lads to get their Hot Sunny Day on. G-Funk and Mob Musik mixing like Amaretto and spicy Rum.

09 til Infinity (part 5)

"Yes I got a man, but Ima send my best bitch
Most important meal, he gon' eat her out for breakfast"

BunnaB - Best Bitch
(From Best Bitch single; 2026)

Chef's kiss opening lyric up top. Another jam from the Atlanta Swag-Rap reboot's Dame of Disrespect. Me, I'm gonna use this as a companion to Bestie by Pooh The WriteR.

Nas was a gun, Larry Heard is like buses

Mr. Fingers - Replicate
(From Leev Ur Mynd album; 2026)

First 2026 gave us new Larry Heard in the form of The IT. Now 2026 gives us more new Larry Heard in the form of Mr. Fingers. Replicate is the track I'm currently gravitating towards on the new Fingers LP because it sounds like the score for a sci-fi movie. Not just any old sci-fi movie tho - this shit sounds like it was precision designed to soundtrack Predator. Every time I press play on this track my third eye catches crazy visionz of Arnie in the jungle creepin' on ah come up as he's hunted by a vulva-faced alien.

What is up with that album title tho? Leev Ur Mynd is the House musik album title equivalent of Public Enemy's New Whirl Odor. Fair play to Public Enemy tho because I didn't think they'd ever come up with an even worse album title than Muse Sick-n-Hour Message.

Since Eatem is back after a year or so in prison, here's a re-up of my Eatem's Greatest Pressure playlist with a few other songs he dropped since I first put the playlist together in 2022. You don't rework, you don't Eat. For doz who've slept: Eatem looks like Percy Tragedy and makes fun rowdy southern anthems in the vein of Treal Lee & Prince Rick. He fits into the current Rap game as Baton Rouge's equivalent of Duke Deuce, but with different angles to his bangers like triangle isosceles. I hope he hasn't lost his touch and continues to make the sort of B.R Rap I love. Born alone, dine alone.

I've been on a bit of a playlist creation/curation run recently: Martorialist classics not on DSPs, Nine & Dex Quinary of Quality, Thizz Favourites, Mac Dre deep cuts, Best of Bavgate, Follow The Leader (Martorialist re-edit) and best early 80s Mr. Bongo pick-ups.
