Big Dese & Mike Martinez drop “Meteor”

Published

on

Boston underground rhyme heavyweight, Big Dese gets No Respect.  The theme is so prevalent in his life that he and his Production cohort, Mike Martinez cooked up the No Respect 2 LP, (out now!).  First single “Meteor” echoes this sentiment with lyrics such as “Nothing is an easy chore, I need a Puerto Rican Whore, when I’m at my job sometimes, hope we get hit by a meteor.”

Listen to “Meteor” here: https://youtu.be/yub1GhBt9Yw?si=zirztcj72QAvWH_f

Taking its title and interludes from the late/great stand-up icon, Rodney Dangerfield the album is a lot of dark comedy, unfiltered opinions and disrespectful bars over a variety of musical moods from a creator inspired by 90’s sample-based boom-bap.  As Dese relates “I think with ‘Meteor’ and most of the album is an audio diary.  There is a lot of self-depreciation, but at the same time, it’s probably very relatable to creatives who are stuck in a career that is far from their dream job. I’m generally a happy guy when I’m home from work with my kids but a Monday morning on the jobsite in the rain can inspire some tracks like this.” 

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.
