The group released their first mixtape All-American Trash in 2016. Their debut album SATURATION was released on June 9, 2017, followed by SATURATION II on August 25 and SATURATION III on December 15, 2017. On March 30, 2018, BROCKHAMPTON announced that they had signed a record deal under RCA Records.
In the summer of 2018, the group parted ways with vocalist Ameer Vann over accusations of sexual misconduct. Their album which was set for release, titled Puppy, was thrown out after the incident. Three tracks from the album were reworked and released over subsequent weeks throughout the summer, including “1999 Wildfire”, “1998 Truman” and “1997 Diana”
On September 21, 2018, the boyband released their fourth studio album, Iridescence, recorded in London's iconic Abbey Road Studios over ten days. It was their major-label debut, as well as their first album since Ameer Vann's departure following sexual misconduct allegations.
The album marked BROCKHAMPTON's first number-one album, as the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 Chart. The album sold 101,000 copies in its first week and was released just weeks before the band embarked on their first tour without ex-member Ameer.
BROCKHAMPTON returned in 2019 which a string of singles, “I Been Born Again”, “If You Pray Right”, “Boy Bye”, and “No Halo”. GINGER is the fifth studio album by American hip-hop collective Brockhampton. It was released on August 23, 2019, through the band's label Question Everything and RCA. It features slowthai, Deb Never, and the band's members.
2020 was the first year since 2016 that they did not officially release a project; instead, Brockhampton began streaming weekly on Twitch and Instagram to DJ and premiere new songs, which would also be posted to and deleted from their YouTube channel regularly. However, none of these songs were officially released on streaming services due to challenges with sample clearance. This era was dubbed "TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES".
In 2021, BROCKHAMPTON returned with their sixth album, Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine, released on April 9th. The singles for the album included “Buzzcut” and “Count On Me”. The album included features from Danny Brown, JPEGMAFIA, A$AP Rocky, A$AP Ferg, SoGone SoFlexy, Charlie Wilson and Baird.
On January 14, 2022, the band announced that they would no longer be performing as a group and would go on indefinite hiatus after their 2022 Coachella performances. On April 16, 2022, during the first of said Coachella performances, BROCKHAMPTON announced a final album that would arrive the same year. The title of this album, The Family, was revealed in late October, and the album was released on November 17, 2022. However, the band announced another surprise follow-up album TM that would release the following day, November 18, 2022.
ROBERTO'S INTERLUDE
BROCKHAMPTON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quizás demasiado
Ay Dios, demasiado
No sé por dónde empezar o cómo empezar
Bueno, este verano pasado fui en un viaje por la carretera con mis hermanos
Nos fuimos en búsqueda de América
Buscamos alto, y buscamos bajo
No la llegamos a encontrar en ninguna parte
Lo ha pasado peor que otros en este vuelo
Pero miramos a él por consejo
Y él nos mira a nosotros por consejo
Querido Dios, tráeme la luz
Querido Dios, tráeme paz
Querido Dios, tráeme de vuelta
Por tí haría lo que sea
Por tí
Te extraño, amigo
The lyrics of BROCKHAMPTON's song "ROBERTO'S INTERLUDE" reflect on the passage of time, the search for identity and purpose, and the bond between friends. The opening lines, "Ha pasado mucho tiempo, Quizás demasiado" (It's been a long time, maybe too long), express a feeling of longing and the realization that time has slipped away. The singer then expresses uncertainty about where to begin or how to start, suggesting a struggle to find direction.
The lyrics continue with the singer describing a road trip taken with their brothers in search of America. However, despite their efforts, they didn't find it anywhere. This can be interpreted metaphorically, representing a search for their own path or meaning in life that ultimately proved elusive. The reference to "Querido Dios" (Dear God) suggests a plea for guidance and protection, indicating a desire for divine intervention to bring light, peace, and a sense of purpose back into their life.
The heartfelt line "Por tí haría lo que sea, Por tí, Te extraño, amigo" (For you, I would do anything, For you, I miss you, friend) reveals deep affection and longing for a friend who is no longer present. This emphasizes the importance of their friendship and the singer's willingness to go to great lengths for their friend. Overall, the song explores themes of time, searching for meaning, reliance on friendship, and the yearning for guidance and connection.
