This song has such a smooth vibe, and Soul Scratch's vocals fit perfectly with the beat.

Respect goes both ways, the same can be said with disrespect. The newest installment from the Broken Complex team speaks volumes in a room full of doubters and naysayers. Kail Problems and Marley B. utilize the pockets on the beat and bounce back and forth between verses keeping the listener engaged. With production from DJ Hoppa, you know it’d be wrong to skip this one, with all disrespect.

With All Disrespect

Kail Problems, Marley B., & DJ Hoppa - With All Disrespect

Lyrics:

No chip off the block parents born off the map
Quick trip for pipe dreams now I'm serving 'em nouns
My product ain't pop what I'm pushing is crack
Gotta pitch to the right feen so that word get around

Looking for a hit to make the block flock with feens
Cut prices out the question, plot and scheme and watch the scene
On my own hustle I don't need a rotten team
Hunger forced doing stupid shit like Aqua Teen

Yeah, that's all metaphor for music
My mission got a magnitude of desert storm in Munich
The doctor's advocate I can't perform in units
Circle tight and more secluded what I do is not the norm for students

Reincarnation from legends beyond the grave
Bound by chains 9 to 5 designed for slaves
Changed the method like John Blaze, bomb the stage
Say namaste, paid homage now the homage paid

Don't take orders, boss mode what I stay in
Lost the fight once you got the weigh in
Going overboard, the shots a lay-in
I move like boats that brought the yae in

Lotta weight at first now the loads lighter
Drop down bounce back like low riders
Ain't tricking but I'm globetrotting
If ain't got it somebody I know got it

I oughta feel pompously
You ask why why not my response will be
I sharpen steel constantly
You can't neglect the sword even when the pen is mighty
All aboard, I'm bout to be in Venice nightly

Y'all pump faking calling rebook I just do it, type to send for nike
Won't defend my psyche, that's a mind for winners
Overcome hurdles to eat, y'all seated but I got a fence I climb for dinner

Mr. Feeney, a boy when the world met me
Now this man in the mix like I swirl nestle
Ya girl let me ain't the cat to coerce her
I split and made a acquisition after the merger

All they seen was a blur when they captured the murder
Red and yellow lights that's Barry or Wally West
Ahead of all ya sleights I parry with all finesse
That's skill strictly, rock handles pill prickly
Atlanta had 'em hooked props ran to Lil Dicky

Don't take orders, boss mode what I stay in
Lost the fight once you got the weigh in
Going overboard, the shots a lay-in
I move like boats that brought the yae in

Lotta weight at first now the loads lighter
Drop down bounce back like low riders
Ain't tricking but I'm globetrotting
If ain't got it somebody I know got it

Started from the bottom unlock the top slowly
System more crooked than cops who rock rollies
They laugh cuz it look like I'm fighting for scraps
I'm the type to adapt and outfox the coyote

Hype to be the best so I hid from the crowd
To get this style, in a space others kids ain't allowed
Assimilated myself back into the party
Feel like I took a big step and I missed the morale

Word to K Dot, I take a long hiatus
In lieu of money love is equity that's why they hate us
Made from a mold of specialist, below the precipice
Approach a apex abiding by a code of excellence

The style comparer
Could be never be the Aloe Vera
Rick got Slick cuz he learned through trial and error
Through the fire like Denzel and wire like Ye
The band is back let the violin play

Don't take orders, boss mode what I stay in
Lost the fight once you got the weigh in
Going overboard, the shots a lay-in
I move like boats that brought the yae in

Lotta weight at first now the loads lighter
Drop down bounce back like low riders
Ain't tricking but I'm globetrotting
If ain't got it somebody I know got it

After nearly a decade lost in space, METERMAIDS return to Earth to team with producer ALXNDRBRWN & turntable titan BUDDY PEACE for A LINE IN THE SKY, their latest otherworldly transmission on Strange Famous Records, dropping everywhere November 10, 2023!

MM emcees Sentence & Swell are joined on the mission by SAGE FRANCIS, MOPES, CAS ONE, SEEZ MICS, JESSE THE TREE, and EARLY ADOPTED.

The first video from the album, "All The Smoke," directed by Tim Young, is one of multiple tracks featuring an appearance by SFR label boss and indie rap legend Sage Francis. True to the DIY-style of all things Strange Famous, everyone you see onscreen in the clip pitched in and shot their own segments, which were interspersed with additional footage selected by director Young. 

Metermaids mouthpiece Swell, known for his tendency toward quiet understatement, explains the concept of the clip with his trademark humility from his Brooklyn apartment: 

"Yo - let me break down for you fuckers how brilliant this video is."

He clears his throat, ferociously, and continues:

"The summer camp footage grounds the whole video because it features representations of children preparing for a productive life, which is what I think most camps are trying to teach. They're making fires, they're learning how to swim, they're doing things that are all bedrock to the human experience. It's a period in life that everyone who was lucky enough to have that sort of childhood adventure relates deeply to, because it's such a formative time. It really captures what the entire record is about: looking back with the honesty of hindsight, and realizing nothing's really changed - we're still those same kids trying to figure shit out in a hurry. Now we just got more salt than pepper in the ol' neck beard."

He pauses, contemplating. And inhaling... something. Deeply. 

"Also, most of us as kids didn't have neckbeards. Except maybe Sage. But that was on the inside." 

Neckbeards aside, the individual film of each member of the crew invites the viewer to glimpse a truthful version of their day-to-day goings-on in a way most fans don't get a chance to:

"The footage is clearly self-shot and distinct to each dude. For example, I'm outside being weird (which I actually do a significant amount of), Sentence is being a good father, like he is, and Sage is travelin' and performin', like he does. That was a creative decision, as opposed to a practical one caused by geographic challenges," Swell explains. As the performers are literally spread across the globe, in 3 countries and 3 states, "the footage isn't 'perfect,' and that just helps drive home the point of the record - the visual approach tells the story of the song, which is: it was hard being a kid and it's hard being an adult. Let alone a rapping adult. So fuck it. Give us errrrrrything you got." 

"All The Smoke" is a light-hearted look at some serious stuff: the paths we've chosen, the places they started, the choices that guide us from sunrise to midnight. Also, it's not a bad little anthem to holler along to as you get your recreation on, if that's your thing, as Swell reminds us: 

"And also I smoke a ton of weed, so if you have that, I will also take that. All the smoke." 

A LINE IN THE SKY will be available from Strange Famous Records everywhere you listen to music on November 10, 2023.
