On 4/4 in 2016 Meta Four released his debut album "Missförstå mig rätt".

Meta Fours debut was noted by Ametist Azordegan in Sweden's Radio (SR Metropol 93.8) in February of 2011. This happened in connection with the release of his first single "Spraycans (feat. Rico Won)" from the mixtape "IATISTB: I'm A Thief I Stole The Beat", which is officially Meta Four's first single.

The establishment as an artist has taken place on its own and Meta Four has never been contracted with any record company, despite the fact that he has often been offered deals by various record companies. Meta Four has been a opening act for established artists such as Swollen Members (Canada), Looptroop Rockers (Sweden), Little Dragon (Sweden) and Smif-N-Wessun (USA) and has also played at the Way Out West Music Festival (Sweden) in 2010 and 2012.

Meta Four began rapping in 2006 and has been a member of the Hiphop Quintet Killa Clowns in 2009-2011 and also founded the group together with Mahan Noubarzadeh (Överklass/Octagon Crew) and Artimez Moghaddam (Sick Art). Unfortunately, the group was split while offering a major deal of the world's largest record label.

Säg till dem 8 på listan, vi kommer och går som yalla då
Checka dem (checka dem), brudar så heta dom ryker som Marlboro
Vi haffa dem (haffa dem), rapido (rapido), ka ka ta ka Kalashnikov
Väktarna vaktar oss, säg till dem joina oss - säg till dem

Vers 1:
Styr allt som en dirigent
i'mma get rich or die tryin' - 50 Cent

Hade 50 spänn, dubbla den
Sasha tog över klart vi banka den
Fanns en period jag inte sov nått
Hade inget jobb, stress non stop
Sahten, försöker leva life
Kunde koolat men jag bad till Nikolaj
Oprosti boze
I dag så är det slut på problem
Kalabalik när vi chillar galet
Finns ingen tid när jag är med laget
Om jag ställer till det, räkna med stök
Ribban är hög men du ser ingen rök
Zee har alltid hållt det low key

Jag kan min grej fråga Misko och Bobby

(Wagwan)

Väktarna vaktar oss, säg till dem joina oss - säg till dem

Vers 2:
Får dom att undra
Det snackas om zäta dom tror att jag luffar
Kamma er
Vad vet ni om mig, ärligt sansa er
Ni borde softa ned
Sköt ditt - jag sköter mitt; inga problem
Parranoia, vad händer Mwuana
Bakom ridån om någon vill snacka
Stockholm till Götet, Götet till London
Hookar med Gio min brotha det är bråttom

Vi chillar galet, "brate vart ska vi?"
Den ständiga frågan, allt är som vanligt
Inget ovanligt; "yalla, let's go!"

När jag får en avis och ringer Roberto

Vill leva life utan några gränser
Men allting kostar, även trängsel
(Wagwan)

Vers 3:
På middag, dricker och minglar
Tiden är viktig för pengarna tickar
Ett samtal löste möte med banken
Dagen därpå skrev på kontraktet
Haffla med mäklarn, bästa kontakten
Baca se pare, pa sta mislis brate

Sitter hos Pinchers - faden är tight
Man måste va len för benäts i Dubai
Rom och Cola Lime, Caribbean life
Tack för sällskapet det var adjibe
Tillbaks till rutiner, klockan pantad

Jag driver, jag sålde och köpte en annan
Garantado brors para bränns
C 63 AMG Benz
Det är simpel matte, du kan den brate
Det är bara att spara om man vill leva vackert

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Meta Four's "Kalashnikov" involve narratives of the struggles and triumphs of the main character in a world where money is everything. The opening lines are about the character announcing his presence and movement as if he is a Yalla, which means "let's go" in Arabic, implying that he is always on the move. He talks about the women around him who are so hot that they smoke like Marlboro cigarettes, and he's always trying to pick them up as quickly as possible, hence the use of "rapido rapido." The Kalashnikov in the chorus is a reference to the infamous Russian automatic assault rifle and could be a metaphor for power and control.

The first verse talks about the main character's journey to success, starting with having only 50 Kronor (Sweden's currency) and then doubling it before his friend Sasha took over and helped them make more money. He then talks about the sleepless nights, stress, and trying to make a life for himself. The reference to Nikolaj is not clear, but it could be a reference to a saint or a person he is appealing to for help. The next lines are about living life to the fullest and having a good time with friends. The verse ends by mentioning Zee, who always keeps things low-key and never causes problems, unlike the main character.

The second verse has the main character expressing frustration at people who talk about him as if he is a hobo or beggar. He tells them to mind their business and focus on themselves. He then talks about paranoia and people talking about him behind his back, but he is not bothered by it. He mentions traveling to different cities with his friend Gio and wanting to live life without limits, but everything, including fun and freedom, comes at a cost.

Overall, the song talks about the pursuit of happiness through money, power, and relationships. It tells a story of someone who has seen the good and bad sides of life and the challenges he has overcome to get to where he is.
