Big Dese & Mike Martinez return with a new single.  Two weeks after the release of their new collaborative release No Respect 2 LP, the duo drop “Just Passin’ By.”  Always potent with the grown man rap, Mike comes with a dusty psychedelic soundscape for Dese to get reflective over.  As Dese reveals, “It’s basically my perspective of current events going on in the country. Kind of fed up with the way things are going, but also accepting that’s the way things are going to be. My grandfather used to always say it’s not my world, I’m just passing by.”

A video for previous single “Meteor” also dropped recently and retains that cynical worldview and dark humor that Dese excels at.

 With a strong chemistry and work ethic, No Respect 2 is actually the tenth collaborative project that Big Dese and Mike Martinez have dropped within the last two years. That’s also in between Dese’s recent full-length with Producer Confidence and  Martinez also releasing projects with G Fam Black, Jezus Martinez and his own solo material.
 
Speaking on the link-up Martinez said “I think the reason me and Dese click so well is that we have both have over twenty years invested in hip-hop and not a lot to show for it (outside of our skills).  One of the first songs we did was called “Love/Hate Relationship” and that sums it up.”
 
Taking its title and interludes from the late/great stand-up icon, Rodney Dangerfield the album is a lot of punchlines, unfiltered opinions and disrespectful bars over a variety of musical moods from a creator inspired by 90’s sample-based boom-bap.   
No Respect 2 is out now via digital platforms and the duo revealed that they currently have three projects cued up and ready to go in the near future as well.
