Rhyme Poetic
Mafia is a gangster rap group from Los Angeles, formed in 1988 and
consists of the rapper Powerlord Jel (Marlowe Bates) and the DJ,
Producer and Actor The Ring Leader DJ Ace (Richard Ascencio).
They are affiliated with Ice-T's Rhyme
$yndicate and the South Central Cartel / Murder Squad. In 1991 Rhyme Poetic Mafia
called attention for the first time on the "South Central Cartel"
debut album "South Central Madness". DJ Ace produced the title
track "South Central Madness" and features Jel on the lyrics. DJ
Ace also did the scratches on "Neighborhood Jacka" and "Ya Getz
Clowned".
In 1993 they were signed to Giant
Records and released their single "Comin' Thru Your Neighborhood",
which was available as 12" single and CD single. In the same year
they recorded their debut album "Reign Of Terror", but
unfortunatley due to problems with the label the album was never
officially released and only a few promo tape copies were made.

The single "Comin' Thru Your Neighborhood" comes in a typical G-Funk style, nice, but nothing outstanding..the album got much stronger tracks and also some sick productions. Except the song "What's The Reason (For The Madness)" which features LV, i really enjoy the whole album and it's really sad it never came out. On "Low Down Mission" and "Cold-Blooded Killer" Jel gets some SSC Fam support on the Microphone (Prodeje, Westside, Hot Dolla?). In '93 DJ Ace made a Remix for Ice-T's "That's How I Am Livin'" and produced "I Mo Nigga N Da Paint" and "Cold Young Niggaz" for Havoc & Prodeje on the Album "Livin In A Crime Wave" and Jel is featured on the cut "Muthafucca Say What". One year later in '94 DJ Ace made the scratches on the second South Central Cartel Album "'N Gatz We Truss" and Jel appeared on the second Havoc & Prodeje Album "Kickin Game" on the joints "M-Squads Nation Wide" and "G'z Only" and Dj Ace produced "Pop Goz The 9" for Gripsta which was available as 12" single. In 1995 Jel rhymes on "No Peace" along with Ice-T, Spice 1, Boss & Treach on the S.C.C. Presents Murder Squad Nationwide Album. DJ Ace produced half of the songs from Ice-T's "VI: Return Of The Real" in '96 and Jel raps on the tunes "Bouncin' Down The Strezeet" and "Syndicate 4 Ever". 1997 was the year Rhyme Poetic Mafia returned with their second single "Knuckleheadz Beware / Stick And Move" 12" on Breakaway Records and one year later they released their second Album entitled "The Root Of All Evil". In '99 DJ Ace was the main producer for Ice-T's Album "Seventh Deadly Sin" and Jel got a guest feature on the track "Fuck It". Through the years DJ Ace production credits expanded and he also worked with: King T, Kurupt, Sen Dog, B Real, Chino Xl, LV, Sick Jacken, Frost, Trigga the Gambler, Smoothe da Hustler, J-Ro, The Mexakinz, Body Count, Phil da Agony, Rakaa, Gutterfame.

Just came across this post. I’m a huge RPM fan. Have some unreleased tracks from them that I posted on YouTube. I also have a demo album from 1996 that was never released called Paranoia. The two best tracks I’ve ever heard from RPM were featured in the movie Road Dogz and they’re called “Fam Ties” and “Anything Goes”. They were never released and word is they don’t exist anymore. Those songs are the holy grail of dopeness and I still want them after almost 20 yrs of trying to find them. Here is the link to the RPM songs on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh7yIPtY-v08kDLSS8328-uO9_7lxejHa
