Reaching out from Consigliere Records to share a new release from Ant Kelly and Jazzy Lion Man titled “Ant and a Lion.”

R.I.P. Lord Sear (1973–2026): The Voice That Raised Hip-Hop

Lord Sear (1973–2026): The Voice That Raised Hip-Hop

The Harlem-born radio legend — cornerstone of Shade 45, co-conspirator on the Stretch & Bobbito Show, and one of the underground's most enduring voices — has passed away at 53.

Steve Watson — known to the world as Lord Sear — died on Wednesday, March 11, 2026. He was 53 years old. No cause of death has been disclosed. The announcement came via Shade 45's official account on X, and within hours, tributes began flooding in from every corner of the culture he had spent three decades helping to build. The cruelest part of the news was its timing: Sear had been on air until the end. No farewell shows, no fade-out. Just silence, where his voice used to be.

Born July 7, 1973, in New York City, Watson came up in Harlem, deep inside a culture being invented on those streets in real time. He first made his name as part of the Constipated Monkeys — CM Mob — and appeared on Harlem rapper Kurious's 1994 debut A Constipated Monkey. That was no lucky break. That was a foundation, earned bar by bar in New York's unforgiving underground.

Before algorithms decided who mattered, there was WKCR — Columbia University's radio station, home to the Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito Show, the broadcast that gave Jay-Z, Nas, and the Wu-Tang Clan their earliest national exposure. Sear was part of it — first as a beatboxer and connector of guests, later as official co-host. In the pre-internet era, that show was a lifeline. Sear helped hold it up.

When Eminem launched Shade 45 on SiriusXM in 2004, Lord Sear was there from day one. He toured the world with Em on the Anger Management Tour, co-hosted the All Out Show alongside Rude Jude, and eventually landed his own flagship: The Lord Sear Special. Eminem's tribute said it plainly: "Sear was one of the greatest people to be around. Our time on Shade 45 together was always some of my favorite interviews. He made the world a better place."

His fingerprints are on more records than most realize — contributions to albums by the Beastie Boys, Big Pun, MF DOOM, the X-Ecutioners, and Statik Selektah. His voice also reached millions who never knew his name: he voiced characters in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto IV. That irony is perfectly him — always bigger than his own fame.

Ludacris, Fat Joe, Xzibit, E-40, Jaleel White — the tributes came fast and from everywhere. SiriusXM dedicated a four-hour broadcast in his regular time slot the day after his passing. "Love you Sear. I don't have the words," Xzibit wrote. "Rest In Power."

Lord Sear didn't have a number-one album. No Grammy. No Billboard entry. What he had was a thirty-year trail through hip-hop history with his fingerprints on everything — the underground records, the midnight radio sets, the careers he quietly helped launch before the rest of the world caught up. The chapter is closed. The pages will be read for a long time.

Rest easy, Steve Watson. The voice from Harlem. The man who knew who'd be great before the world had any idea.

Montao "2223" (feat. Masta Killa) [VIDEO]

Proudly presenting the new music video "2223" by UK producer Montao, featuring Masta Killa

Since the Deluxe release of his studio "Echoes of the Cosmos", Montao felt there was one track which still needed an extra light shone upon it, and that was "2223”, also featuring an epic verse from Wu Tang Clan’s very own Masta Killa.

The track paint's the picture of a post apocalyptic dystopian vivid landscape, and has always screamed out for a visual accompaniment. This, alongside a homage to anime which the album celebrates throughout, affirmed a decision to match this music to the legendary cult movie that is "Akira”.

The track itself is a combination of Hiphop, EDM, and everything else in between.

With experimental cinematic production, building up to the incredible verse from Masta Killa, combined with Montao’s UK influenced unconventional sounds. 

Montao said:

“This track was set out to be instrumental, but as the journey continues and develops so does the music….

I’ve always been a massive fan of Masta Killa, to me the most interesting member of Wu Tang Clan without a doubt. His vocals and signature style combined with the overall vision of '2223' has made it simply epic.

Now, taking it one step further and being able to also create the soundtrack to one of my all time favourite movies "Akira", has felt like a final piece of the puzzle.

Enjoy!”
