Born Alone, Dine Alone

Eatem ft. Mr Blitzem - Poppin' Dem Bxs
(From the internet; 2025)


Eatem back! This is a different type of Baton Rouge brawl music where the brawl is an internal battle between neurotransmitters and drugs consumed. There's a war goin' on inside no pill popper is safe from. If Eatem is back properly then it's time he finally drops the video for Lil' Phat Flow. Reeeeewind for the best Lil' Phat homage ever.

2 Deep (no Gang Starr)

Level ft. Mouse On Tha Track - I Don't Miss
(From Street Credit 4 album; 2022)


Good timing on a new Level & Mouse On Tha Track single since Mouse's Big Blossom single has been ownin' my speakers for the past month. I Don't Miss sounds like what a new Level & Mouse single should sound like without sounding like any of the previous Level & Mouse singles. Mouse & Level as a duo are kinda like 3 Deep minus Shell and with Level playing the position of Lil' Phat - both gents have very contrasting timbres but such good chemistry together and buku Baton Rouge energy. All in all, this shit is the best Level & Mouse single since DFWT.

Phatman Returns Part 2

"Look in the sky - it's a bird, it's a plane, no it's his soul
Tell the doctor the pallbearer put ya picture on they clothes"

Phat Baby - Proper Play (FWS)
(From Profit Off My Pain album; 2022)


It seems like Baton Rouge caught the holy ghost of Lil' Phat judging by Eatem's recent homage and this Phat Baby single. Damn, this shit is colder than the White Witch of Narnia's tit. A good bad-energy song with murder raps so foul I need to listen to something positive and wholesome afterwards to restore my moralbiotic balance. Ricky D to the rescue:

"So listen, be strong, scream whoopee-doo
Go for yours 'cause dreams come true
And you'll make your mommy so so proud of you too
And this is a message that the Ruler Rick threw"

PS: Instagram informs me that LL Cool J's Bigger and Deffer album was 35 years old yesterday. To celebrate can we get his performance of Go Cut Creator Go on Saturday Night Live back on YouTube?

Phatman Returns

Eatem - Lil' Phat Flow
(From Lil' Phat Flow single; 2022)


Pardon the Phat talk Rap tourettes. Doctor Eatemstein reactivates and reanimates the dearly departed Trill Fam young'n Lil' Phat. This one combines what I liked about Lil' Phat with what I like about Eatem in the SAME DAMN SONG! The result: Martorialist catnip in toto.

Bonus beats: the Lil' Phat legit jam which should have been a legit hit is Talk Some Mo' Shit. The world would have been a more fun place if this song was as big as Independent. That shit lived a private life when it shoulda been all in the mix.
