You f**kin' right I drop playlists that knock whores. They knock whoadies too, I'm ambidextrous southpaw. This is slap, this is knock, this is mob shit, this is 15 songs from various albums and compilations on Thizz Entertainment. Your guess is as good as mine how the Mac Dre & Ma$e song Tycoonin' came to exist. For the unedited version where Ma$e's cussin' isn't edited out, I'd walk to Modesto.

Why didn't God take JD Vance instead of J.D.L from Cold Crush Brothers?

"And when I'm boppin' away I hear a lotta them say
'damn, I wanna be like the L someday!'"

Cold Crush Brothers - Fresh, Wild, Fly & Bold
(From Fresh, Wild, Fly & Bold 12" single; 1984)

The Cold Crush Brothers · Fresh, Wild, Fly & Bold (Vocal Mix)

I don't care about American politics but the post title's point still stands. R.I.P to Jerry Dee Lewis from Cold Crush Brothers. Goodness gracious, Fresh, Wild, Fly & Bold is a great ball of fire. A perfect 1980s Rap song where Cold Crush finally got their shit together in the studio as a riposte to the emergence of Run-D.M.C. I hope Heaven got a stage at The Dixie for the the L that rocks so well.

N.Y.C bonus beats: alas, Maino's Rumors 2026 is a rubbish sequel to one of my absolute favourite songs from the DVD era of Rap. Stick to the spodcasting with Gym-bore Jones, m8, and plz don't think about recording a sequel to your one great mixtape deep cut.

Can't you just all get along?

Smoney - Subliminals
(From Subliminals single; 2026)


This, apparently, is a dis track aimed at one of Smoney's Long Beach peers. However, here at The Martorialist we have zero interest in regional gangbanger Rap beef, and are purely interested in Subliminals for aesthetic reasons: the lad's talkin' shit over a beat which sounds like it interpolates some 80s arcade game like Wonder Boy. In fact, ur host is tryna take it back the 80s where I know very little about rappers beyond their songs. Ignorance was bliss.

Ice Terror

"You Rap n*ggas like a Disney movie
You either a rat, a duck or a f**kin' goofy"

Bruus & Mic Terror - Nothin' Can Stop
(From YouTube; 2026)


Calling Jmil: it's time for #MicTerrorHive to reassemble. Mic T and his m8 Bruus goin' line for line like Brian Harvey & Daniella Westbrook over some warbly Blaxploitation shit. The lads got excellent chemistry like those scientists in The Andromeda Strain.

Bonus beats: because Mic Terror is a big Ice-T fan here's the best video from the O.G: The Original Gangster VHS tape. It's a song about the trials and tribulations of touring, and the video is like The Fresh Prince gone L.A Gangster-Rap complete with multiple foils and even a fake airplane interior.

From the BBQ to The Bakery (part 5)

DB Tha General & The Yee Section - Intro (live at The Bakery)
(From Splash Bakery YouTube channel; 2026)


Splash Bakery & The Yee Section are back on form this week. First they dropped a Live Performance With Real Instruments™ version of Don't Give Me No Bammer with RBL Posse. Then they dropped a Live Performance With Real Instruments™ version of Intro with DB Tha Geneeal which sounds like it was revamped and restamped by DJ Quik & Robert Bacon. Them Tiny Desk brehs could never.

School of Rock

Aesop Rock - Moving Day
(From Aesop Rock & Homeboy Sandman's Miami Lice: Season Four EP; 2026)


Woo hah!! Aesop Rock kept Homeboy Sandman in check on most of the songs on their new Lice EP. But my favourite jam on there is the Aes' Rock solo song Moving Day. It's a funny old world where Aesop Rock is my current preferred Noo Yawk rapper. Don't get it twisted like Rob Bottin's prosthetic effects tho - Labor Days is still unlistenable cack to me.

Sod all that tho, the main topic of today's post is a sincere R.I.P to Lord Sear. I hope Heaven got a radio cypher where Sear can spit funny drunken shit alongside his dearly-departed C.M Famalam m8s DOOM and Subroc. Sear's Ya Mouth Stink is one of the funkiest songs from the indie Rap 12" era and really should have been an A-side single on Fondle 'Em Records. Guru made halitosis a hot skit, Lord Sear made it a hot song.

(From Hello! (The Wake Up Call) 12" single; 2000)

Heaven is a place in New Orleans (part 2)

OnlyHeaven - No Lie
(From No Lie single; 2026)



Another post about OnlyHeaven's No Lie since it now has an official video. Her voice is truly the New Orleans equivalent of that bird who does the inner-monologue hypewoman ad libs on Slim Thug's Like A Boss. If I ruled the world then Rap radio would be full of XXXplicit R&Bounce songs like this.

Not so main Source

This was the first review which had Young Marty questioning whether The Source's ratings could be trusted. Reggie Dennis' glowing review and the 3.5 mic rating rating were out-of-sync like a dubbed VHS smut movie, and I had the album before I read the review so I already knew it was far better than a 3.5 mic rating. The bit which puzzles me most nowadays is Dennis' claim that Melle Mel wrote Straight Up N*gga. The flow kinda does sound like it contains Mel-titudes, but I've never seen any actual evidence that he wrote it. You'd think that Melle Muscles would have got some sort of official writing credit by now, right? After all, Prince Whipper Whip from Grandwizard Theodore & The Fantastic Five has a co-writer credit on Fried Chicken and that's just an interlude innit.

(From O.G. Original Gangster album; 1991)


** EDIT ** Werner dropped from the rafters into my comments and came through with clarification that Melle Mel was indeed the co-writer of Straight Up N*gga and he's credit on the penultimate page of the CD booklet.
