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. The 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.”
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 ’90s 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.
