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.

BROCKHAMPTON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I make mistakes to make sure
I never repeat 'em
Inhaler help me breathe in South Central hot
Smoke like a chimney, I hope I don't get got
And I ain't had no pussy in two months
I been busy, man I been working, man
And I ain't called my mom in three days
Man all these feelings bottled up
About to set me off
And most this extra meat that
Lingering get cut off
Yeah we been making money
Yeah we been making guap
While you've been walking into meetings
'bout to suck some
(Dick) I left my bitch in Malibu
I left my smokes up on the roof
So don't forget who you're talking to
If I bring it in existence it gon' come true
The matter's over-complicated, oh
But I'm never overcompensating, ooh, whoa
Spinning around makes it harder
To pave my way resting my pride will make me
End our love either way
I know I make mistakes I
Try to not repeat 'em
But I'm still working on it
Negotiate with demons
I've stopped fucking girls the first
Time I meet 'em
And I don't talk to strangers
About my new arrangements
I got big dreams of selling out arenas
They comin' out to see me
White folks in the meetings
And they smiling at me
But I'm the same nigga
Point them hoses at me send the dogs for me
The matter's over-complicated, oh
But I'm never overcompensating, ooh
Spinning around makes it harder
To pave my way resting my pride will make me
End our love either way
I don't
(I don't) got much (Got much) money (Money)
But I'll be alright (But I'll be alright)
Yeah, we'll be alright
(yeah, we'll be alright)
Yeah, we'll be alright

(I don't) got much (Got much) money (Money)
But I'll be alright (But I'll be alright)
Yeah, we'll be alright
(yeah, we'll be alright)
Yeah, we'll be alright
(yeah, we'll be alright)

Remember before talking to me that my words have power and if I say something, it may come true

My indecisiveness and pride may cause the end of a significant relationship

I have a diverse fan base, including white people in the industry
And they smiling at me, but I'm the same nigga
People may act differently towards me now that I'm successful, but I remain the same person
Point them hoses at me send the dogs for me
I am prepared for the consequences of my actions and will face them head-on
I don't (I don't) got much (Got much) money (Money), but I'll be alright (But I'll be alright)
I may not have a lot of money, but I will be fine regardless
Yeah, we'll be alright (yeah, we'll be alright), yeah, we'll be alright (yeah, we'll be alright)
We will overcome our struggles and be okay in the end

[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em checkin' out the other side
From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em leanin' out the other side
From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em checkin' out the other side
I'm by myself, I'll probably turn up by myself
I keep up late on my work because I can't find no help
You make me feel like such a loser
From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em checkin' out the other side
From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em leanin' out the other side
From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em checkin' out the other side
I'm by myself, I'll probably turn up by myself
I keep up late on my work because I can't find no help
You make me feel like such a loser
[Verse 1: Kevin Abstract]
A loser, a rental
A dentist, I been to
And take a lose from me and I'll be out it, out it
Tryna make y' smile, wanna make out
But I'm too childish, childish
Fucked a loser, in his rental
A dentist, I been to
[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em checkin' out the other side
From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em leanin' out the other side
From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em checkin' out the other side
I'm by myself, I'll probably turn up by myself
I keep up late on my work because I can't find no help
You make me feel like such a loser

I keep up late on my work because I can't find no help
You make me feel like such a loser
[Verse 2: Matt Champion]
You got freckles on your lip, lip, lip
They might give you cancer, shit, shit, shit
Wring your wrist and take a swish, swish, swish
Big hole, flushin' out the script, script, script
Backwoods, blowin' off a zip, zip, zip
So we still spit the belt, ain't no heaven on a hell
Brush your hair so I see your—
[Chorus: Kevin Abstract]
From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em checkin' out the other side
From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em leanin' out the other side
From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em checkin' out the other side

You make me feel like such a loser
[Verse 3: Ameer Vann]
I don't wanna be sober
So I can lie to my lovers
Got sad and said I loved her
I was high, I ain't mean it
I ain't lyin', I got problems
I'll leave for no reason
Make love with no feelings
I be your nigga for the evening
[Verse 4: Dom McLennon]
In between the bridges filled with kerosene
Are words we never said, turned into a routine
My feelings still remain unseen
Can't intervene with anything that's on the screen
When life is playin', they play games and expect me to pick a team
I can't win, I can't breathe, everything ain't what it seems
I played my case and then erase my underlying self-esteem
I know it's awful for my health, I know it all becomes extreme
I can't redeem from this regime that's invaded all of my dreams
From the asphalt to the steam, we found a theme then made a scene
At the moment that the guillotine was the only vaccine don't intervene
Shit ain't been the same since I was 17
Fuckin' up is in my genes, I think I need a quarantine, yeah
[Outro: Joba]
Chain-smoking, got twenty things on my mind (yeah)
Fake feelings, when I hit it from behind (yeah)
Consenting to my heart's demise (oh)
I fall in love and fall in line (oh)
Tip toe-in' in tap shoes when you're sleepin' in the corner (shh)
Leave before I fall in love with you, I'm a self-proclaimed loner (shh)
A novice with a master plan (yes I am)
Genuine but fraudulent (yes I am)
