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)
Call it poultry in motion or a misandry of sound, here's my favourite Rap songs by Da Ladeez from 2020 to 2025. There's a couple of guest verses and a chorus by Da Ladz, but otherwise this is pure X chromosome gas from the queens of the yakety yak yard. Fair play, the sisters have been knockin' out killer singles for the last half decade.
"I be bustin' out the windows, got him switchin' up his cars
He won't find shit in my phone but them lil' pictures of his cards"
MoneyBagg Yo ft. Glorilla - On Wat U On
(From On Wat U On single; 2023)
Just when it looked like GloRilla was the latest victim of Rap's cosmetic dentistry curse, she forgets to floss and starts 2023 by comin' out hard (yes Eightball & MJG.) First there was MoneyBagg Yo's battle of the sexes single, and now there's this tag-team battle single with fellow Sisterhood of Hitkidd member Gloss Up. Gangsta Boo ain't dead, she just moved into Gloss Up & GloRilla's bodies on some spiritual miracle physical manifestation type shit. If there's a harder brawl music song/video combination than Best Frenn in 2023 then I'll eat my Mac Dre cap.
"Why these bitches hatin? I don't know, they gettin' shitted on
Ridin' 'til the wheels fall off like The Flintstones"
Gloss Up ft. Glorilla - Best Frenn
(From Best Frenn single; 2023)
One thing, though: I best not see any corny Poptimist Prime dullards from Pitchfork claiming that GloRilla steals either of these songs. She perhaps deserves co-billing on the MoneyBagg Yo track, but plz believe she delivers nothing more than an assist on the Gloss Up joint.
Travis Porter - Like Dat
(From Back On Bullshit album; 2021)
**Dem Franchise Boyz voice** I THINK I LIKE IT!
Here at The Martorialist we're diggin' the notion of parallel universes in Rap, so if T.P had signed to T.I's Grand Hustle imprint to drop a second album then the lead single woulda sounded a lil' sumfin like Like Dat.
**EDIT** Also feelin' the Swag-Rap Fresh Prince(s) storytelling of Same Hoes. This shit needs a video which sticks to the song's script.

Gotta love when that harmonica comes in at the end for maximum "my baby's cheating on me" Delta Bluesman vybz. It's the little touches that make a big difference.
GetEmTree - Only Way Is Up Step
(From YouTube; 2020)
One of these days yous lot are gonna realise that GetEmTree is Baton Rouge's answer to Katie Got Bandz. Until then I'm gonna keep wildin' out to her music, and keep myself amused by the YouTube comments which mistake her for a him.
"My aunty name is Kita, my other aunty Rita
They both 'bout that cheddar, they be on that Velveeta"
GetEmTree - Intro
(From YouTube; 2020)
Talk about a bird's eye view. Best way to describe GetEmTree's brand of henchwoman Baton Rouge Brawl Music: Webbie without a willy or tomboy with a Tommy drum gun? Doz that kept both eyes shut previously should also peep Opp Watching.
"I just got a call from my dawg, he comin' home
I just dropped some fondue on his books and on the phone
F*ck 12, free my n*gga right or wrong
Bitch, 'cause all I speak is facts in every song"
"I just got a call from my dawg, he comin' home

GetEmTree - Opp Watching
(From YouTube; 2020)
When Webbie made Gutta Bitch it's highly likely that his muse was a relative of GetEmTree. Been keepin' an eye on this lass since Like A Bitch caught my ear last month, and her new single here is even better. Savage Life ain't dead, it just no longer has a dick between its legs.
