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: Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bad baby, watermelon in her denim
Like the brother from Miami
White powder, tell his bros, know I'm 'bouta
Tell them I was ready, right now I be ready
(boy got it) take a head
Put it through the public housing
(break my body)
(I don't want it)
Pay for killing brothers been (Merlyn Merlyn)
Boy, please don't go picking
On my insecurities boy, boy, boy
Please don't go picking on my insecurities
Boy, boy, boy
Please don't go picking on my insecurities
Boy, boy, boy
Please don't go picking on my insecurities
Boy, boy, boy
I'ma keep my distance from the cowards
I done put in twenty thousand hours
I don't want your co-sign for the hour
Everything is sweet while niggas sour
They don't know about a nigga's story
They could love me in the moment
In the future they'll ignore me
What ya doin' for me, huh?
I don't think them niggas seem to recognize
Cutting through the crap like
I got pesticides, weaponize
What have I told you? I know who I am
(You can't tell me shit)
People are pointing their fingers at me
(I'm not the one to play with)
White flags, fly so free
(You can't tell me shit)
Lay 'em down, lay 'em down for me
(I'm not one to play with)
Lay 'em down, lay 'em down for me
I always pay in cash
So I ain't got no credit
I'ma need a co-signer if you're tryna get it
Moved up out the house, close my bank account
They couldn't fill my check
I need to buy a jet
I ain't been the same since Viceland paid
See me on the screen, my million dollar face
My momma told me I was gonna be a star, yeah
I paid the debt and then I
Went a bought a car, yeah
I'm a felon, watch me film it
I have a rebellious nature and I'm unapologetically embracing it
Bad baby, watermelon in her denim
There's a girl who is bold and daring, and she doesn't conform to societal expectations
Like the brother from Miami
Similar to someone who comes from a place known for its vibrance and uniqueness
White powder, tell his bros, know I'm 'bouta
Drugs are involved, and the person is confident that their friends are aware and ready for the consequences
Tell them I was ready, right now I be ready
I want them to know that I'm prepared and in the right state of mind at this moment
(boy got it) take a head
(I've got it) take control and lead the way
Put it through the public housing
Expose it to the public, especially to those who may not have access or exposure to certain things
(break my body)
(push me to my limits) physically and emotionally
Pay for it with my own tax dollars
I'm willing to bear the cost and consequences using the resources I've earned
(I don't want it)
(I don't want the easy way out) I'll face the challenges head-on
Pay for killing brothers been (Merlyn Merlyn)
There's a price to pay for the violence and harm caused to others, and it's associated with the name 'Merlyn'
Boy, please don't go picking
Don't try to exploit or capitalize on my vulnerabilities
On my insecurities boy, boy, boy
Don't take advantage of my weaknesses, because it won't end well for you
I'ma keep my distance from the cowards
I choose to stay away from those who lack courage and integrity
I done put in twenty thousand hours
I've invested a significant amount of time and effort into honing my craft
I don't want your co-sign for the hour
I don't need your validation or approval for a temporary period of success
Everything is sweet while niggas sour
Despite the negativity and jealousy of others, I find happiness and satisfaction in my own accomplishments
They don't know about a nigga's story
They lack knowledge and understanding of the experiences and struggles I've endured
They could love me in the moment
People may show temporary admiration or support, but it may not last
In the future they'll ignore me
As time passes, they will likely disregard or overlook me
What ya doin' for me, huh?
What are you genuinely doing to benefit me?
I don't think them niggas seem to recognize
I don't believe they fully comprehend or acknowledge my worth
Cutting through the crap like
I'm eliminating the unnecessary and superficial aspects of life
I got pesticides, weaponize
I possess the means to eliminate the toxic elements and protect myself
What have I told you? I know who I am
I have consistently expressed my true identity and have a strong sense of self
(You can't tell me shit)
(No one can influence or manipulate me)
People are pointing their fingers at me
Others are trying to place blame or accuse me
(I'm not the one to play with)
(They shouldn't underestimate or provoke me)
White flags, fly so free
Signals of surrender are being displayed openly and without restraint
(Lay 'em down, lay 'em down for me)
(They will submit and give up without resistance) for my sake
I always pay in cash
I prefer immediate and tangible transactions, avoiding any debts or credit
So I ain't got no credit
I don't rely on borrowed money or favors to establish my reputation
I'ma need a co-signer if you're tryna get it
If you want to be associated with what I have, you'll need someone to vouch for you
Moved up out the house, close my bank account
I've gained independence and severed financial ties with my family
They couldn't fill my check
They couldn't meet my expectations or fulfill their promises
I need to buy a jet
I aspire to acquire extravagant possessions like a private jet
I ain't been the same since Viceland paid
My life has drastically changed and improved since I received payment or recognition from Viceland
See me on the screen, my million dollar face
I'm portrayed on the screen, showcasing my valuable and captivating appearance
My momma told me I was gonna be a star, yeah
My mother predicted and believed in my future success and stardom
I paid the debt and then I
I settled my obligations and responsibilities
Went a bought a car, yeah
As a result, I rewarded myself by purchasing a car

[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
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 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
I'm by myself, I'll probably turn 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

From the smog and the smoke
Had 'em leanin' 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 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)
