LYRICS:
I should of been here a long time ago
Took a while to find the right skull that my brain fits
Big heart gotta make sure the rib cage thick
Strong legs supporting the frame that I placed it
Faceless you don’t even notice when I shapeshift
Greatness
Happens when you focus in the stasis
State switch
Whether in a globe or in a matrix
Agent
Clone that be patrolling with the name Smith
Neo in this insane glitch
Bang clips
Dodge it, I reloaded ‘til it grazed him
Flame lit
Finally I woke up from this strange trip
Wake since
Body was a coma as it laid stiff
Batta so much older than his age is
Higher than than vultures of the cranes get
Body is pagoda on a crane lift
Plane hit
Tower topple over like a crane kick
Tubal Cain on the cane and the crank hit
Take the remains and create with the masons
Like Plato with play do I clay mold and pay doe
Hope they know my doe ain’t the doe that you play with

I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign 
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign
I reign sol supreme 
I reign sol supreme 
I reign sol supreme
I reign 
I reign sol supreme 
I reign sol supreme 
I reign sol supreme
I reign 


What if you're the lone survivor
Last human ever known surviving alone
Last soul acquires the whole entire combined light of every living soul that died on the globe
Life twilight zone inspired
What’s power in the hands of the only fiver is own
Nation of one, Earth if you don’t divide her
Moses, Joseph, Job, Elijah
If they been waiting for the Sol Messiah and his holiest host
For holding a ghost inside of, I’m close
The divine chauffeur driver Jehova hired
The only rider he chose for guiding the coast
Roam through Gaia
Posted high upon a dark horse
My saddle and my rope is tied to the coach
Dark horse
Gold logo sign on the side of the new chrome testarossa tires with spokes
Whoever stole my lighter is no
Match for the flame that my dope requires to tote
Indo Flintstone igniter
I smoke
Dovin’ ocean holding fire the float
You would choke if you quote what I wrote for writers
Occult oath reciter and potent rhymer
This blunt that I hold the light up is a baton 
I composed the choir the notes I spoke is higher
Then vocals of the old Mariah
I would died before I ever tell the coach I’m tired
I won’t expire, Covid fighter
My T-cells stay mobile I’m your phone provider 


I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign 
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign 
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign sol supreme
I reign

LYRICS:
A rotary telephone, a tv antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts 

Virgo born in purple storm 
Standing on a home made platform
Screaming at a bull horn 
Until the break of morn
Or til I die trying to make the whole room too warm 
Oooh how are? you spend a few minutes 
Less than an hour trying to move in between the space right now 
From the last time I seen your face make shapes outside of digital keepsakes 
Ahhh keep that lonely energy
If only we could kick away the penalties
Make love and peace make a bunch of seeds 
I’ll make anything just to make memories
To put it all in perspective
I’m trying to give everything one hundred percentage of me
And you can take it however you shall 
I wasn’t waving at you anyways, I was waving at the clouds 

A rotary telephone, a tv antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts 

Come on now even if there was a way to say what I thought about anything
Doubt I’ll waste my breath trying to preach to the crowd
I’m not trying to sell teeth to a crocodile
I’m not in style I don’t think I had the chance 
I was just a child that liked to draw on my pants
I was trying to find a couple answers
I knew I was a problem when I saw your hands up 
Now put the dinner in a bag 
If you call police I’mma burn your flag
Trying to chop this wood like it’s all good 
Like maybe it’ll fix a broken part of my childhood
Ish and you know that’s the link 
Got you chasing realities that went extinct 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers 
And a gold name plate on a four finger ring

A rotary telephone, a tv antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts 

When the spotlight shine did you finally find
Some kind of peace of mind or a piece of behind
I wrote my number above the hand dryer
It says call for a good vampire
I been a few places on this planet 
Same shit different sandwich 
Coming at you live on borrowed time 
How’s my driving, call me on the party line

A rotary telephone, a tv antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts

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.

"ALL THE SMOKE" - Metermaids x Alxndrbrwn x Buddy Peace feat. Sage Francis

Just in time for Halloween, the Hieroglyphics crew is back with a new jawn titled “Heebie Jeebies.” The Gully Duckets-produced track finds the eight-man crew rapping over some menacing production with a slight trap feel to it. This track is one of two jawns that came out of the entire crew being together in the studio in YEARS. This week has been busy for the crew already, as member Pep Love released his Dolla Daily EP on Tuesday.

"DNGRFLD" drops November 4, 2016, on SFdigi! Limited edition CDs, Cassettes, and 7-Inch Records are available exclusively at http://bit.ly/DNGRFLD

Underground rap veteran PROLYPHIC returns with "DNGRFLD", his first self-produced album in 10 years!

"This album is not about Rodney Dangerfield, and it's not about 'getting no respect', says emcee/producer Prolyphic. "It’s about the reinvention of myself as an artist." 

The world famous comedian known to millions as Rodney Dangerfield began as a man named Jack Roy. The transformation of Roy's career that occurred after changing his name intrigued Prolyphic, and led him to call the album 'DNGRFLD". 

"Stand-up comedy has probably had just as much influence on me as hip-hop. There was a similarity there: late night comedy shows, late night hip-hop sessions. One person behind a microphone relating the way they saw the world, fuck what anyone else said. It was the beginning of me going from who I'd been told I was to becoming an artist, to becoming Prolyphic," he recalls. "As I learned about Rodney Dangerfield, I started to see similarities in his career path with the path of my music career, and how simple changes in perception can open doors you never thought you'd walk through."

The album maintains a heavily reflective tone, with the emcee spilling details of his earliest years as a burgeoning artist: "I miss that shit. The experience of hip hop isn't like that anymore - the rawness has been censored, filtered, castrated. I want people to hear this album and feel a feeling that isn't easy to find anymore."

Prolyphic's self-described reinvention as an artist is best evidenced in the beats he decided to rap over: after working with other beatmakers on his last 2 records, all but one of the tracks on "DNGRFLD" are self-produced. 

"I still love working with other producers - I learned so much from Buddy Peace and Reanimator (on his previous albums "Working Man" & "The Ugly Truth", respectively). They’re great at what they do, and their talent is underappreciated in the music industry. But I also love producing my own beats, because it gives you total control of the feel of the song. After I produced "Vonnegut Busy" for Sage Francis (on his 2014 LP "Copper Gone"), I kind of went on a rampage of making beats, and I felt it was time to bring that element back when making my own album. The project became even more personal, because as the producer you decide where you want to take the listener sonically and lyrically."

In terms of rhymes, there wasn't so much a reinvention as a revitalization and reinforcement of his passion: "I love this shit. Fuck whoever wants to question me, or deny me passage. I’ve earned my spot, and it's my turn to talk." 

The first single, "RDNY", touches upon another infamous Rodney, with the Rodney King incident of the Los Angeles riots of the early 1990s acting as a backdrop for the developing worldview of a young Prolyphic. Through this filter, Pro questions the true nature of the dangers permeating society in a media-driven age. More personal topics are tackled on songs like "A Bottled Message", which expresses the persistent uncertainty of articulating your feelings and wondering if they're every really heard. "By A Dying Art's Bedside" examines the psyche of a rapper who fears that he won't be there when his time finally arrives: "The hardest working man's project is perfection, but it wasn't til death that he could sell records."

On the lighter side, Prolyphic is joined by his Strange Famous labelmates Cas One (on "Ice Cream Tacos", a breezy, nostalgic trip down memory lane) and Seez Mics (on "Rehab Killed The Rockstar", a playful assessment of the crumbling state of rock n' roll in the decades since long hair and guitars ruled the world).

Lyrics
Verse 1
Back at it again
Vandal with the life span
Track's slapping again
Like Samuel and Diane
Damn, this shit is Cayenne
Cocky as Curtis Jackson
My body of work is canon
Like Samus with the right hand

You're fucking with the most savage of the Trilams
I'm showing 'em something mindblowing as Zapruder
As Smooth as Grand Puba rapping with the Sprite can
I stay a step ahead like the clapping of a white man

Y'all don't wanna cross swords
Drop it like an aux cord
That's something y'all ain't got the bollocks or the heart for
I shut 'em down like a modern mom and pop store
'Cause I'm doing damage you don't have an Otter Box for

Not even God or the Mighty Ducks could challenge
My style is 
Ill as the Buyers Club of Dallas
Page with the Diamond Cutter
To make you Steiner Brothers see why I'll survive through fire, blood, or ballots

Verse 2
I barely made it through my terrible twos
Drinking amniotic fluid in America's womb
Half man, half animal that stares at the moon
Son, I'm hotter than the bottom of a heroin spoon

Y'all so jelly I'm smooth as petroleum
The next one that they'll try to shoot at the podium
Shifty ass motherfuckers, you'd lick linoleum
Just to get a little bit of cubic zirconium

You want to shine, got to get that dough
My man's and them turn your face into tic tac toe
Got a lumberjack with an axe to match
Hack and slash, what the fuck I need a six pack for?

So watch how your chain reacts to the Saw treatment
And y'all see that faking jax gets you Betamaxed
But when the tape's elapsed, you're gonna need a doctor, a nurse, and security like Animaniacs
