Homeboy Sandman & Luke Warmth - Heet
(From Heet single; 2026)

The fact that Homeboy Sandman songs have always walked a very fine tightrope between endearing and embarrassing is part of the appeal for me. But when he takes a tumble into embarrassing it's always a Hans Gruber-level plummet. The production on Heet sounds like it should have been Ultimate Force's follow up single to I'm Not Playing, and that's the spoonful of sugar to make Sandman's line about buying crypto go down my gully hole smoothly. A cryptocurrency line in 2026 is cringeworthy enough in its own right, but it's hilariously embarrassing coming from the guy who made a song about money being evil a couple of years back. Damn, Sandman - even Jim Jones doesn't rhyme about cryptocurrency anymore and he's the guy who spent a couple of years shilling "Capo Coin." Tha Blockchain Is Hot no more.

Our House

The IT - Mr Gone (Fingers Edit)
(From Larry Heard's Vault Sessions 3 EP; 2026)


Chicago House musik alert. Specifically, unreleased Larry Heard alert. Or rather, unreleased Larry Heard and Harry Dennis alert. 41 years after Larry & Harry first released Donnie together in 1985 they return with this gem under their original moniker. When Larry works his fingers while Harry flaps his lips, elite Chicago House invariably happens. This is musik for hard dance floors which sounds like it came from above the clouds. While you stannin' for EDHDM, we taxi for take-off. Keep your lugs peeled for an unexpected Ric Flair homage.

Shout out Brendan Fraser, we in this bitch!

Egyptian Lover - Vocoder Jam
(From 1987 album; 2025)

egyptianlover · Vocoder Jam

Continuing on from the last post, here's a more recent Egyptian Lover song that I definitely do like. This MF is using a Vocoder to sound like a drunken Cyberman over some sexy squelchy Electro. When that moog-bass hits it's like "HOLY ROBO-SHIT!!" If Egyptian Lover isn't hired to soundtrack the new The Mummy movie then we riot!

Surprise, bish!

Egyptian Lover - Everything She Wants
(From Everything She Wants single; 2026)


Sum shit NOBODY saw coming in 2026: Egyptian Lover covering Wham!'s Everything She Wants. I'm not sure I actually like it, but I'm glad it exists. The album mix of the Wham! song is a top 3 George Michael jam as far as I'm concerned. Kinda hilarious that a then-closeted gay bloke like George read Ester Vilar's controversial book The Manipulated Man and thought to himself "I can turn this subject into a perfect pop song!" Saturday to sunday, the Anglo-Greek Al Bundy.

Bonus beats: if you fancy some essential late-career Egyptian Lover boi, check out 5¢ Camel Ride (Long Version) or Future Compter where he reprised his Jamie Jupitor alias. The latter track sounds like ancient Cairo being attacked by Martian flying saucers and plz believe that's a compliment.

Jamie Jupitor - Future Computer

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.
