Thundamentals have released their succinctly-titled single Miss You, co-produced with Sydney multi-instrumentalist Carl Dimataga (Khalid). It's a chance for the group to discuss friendships that have dissolved over time, and the role that social media has played in creating a false sense of connection. "You lose touch with reality if you're just looking at social media", Jeswon says. "I feel like it's great to stay connected in the superficial sense and see what your friends are doing, but it's also kind of toxic. You forget that everyone is going through the ups and the downs. All you're seeing is the ups".
Thundamentals recently wrapped up a 36-date, sold-out tour of regional Australia, proving that their electric live show can thrill audiences in all corners of the country. Their immense popularity led to 2017's Everything We Know hitting Number. 2 on the ARIA charts, while the group also have three Gold singles in Australia (including "Sally' landing at #8 on Triple J's Hottest 100 2018) and over 37 million streams worldwide.

Noodle Soup
Thundamentals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Roll it up, roll it
Roll it up, roll it
Roll it all night long
The only beef I got's in noodle soup
Noodle soup, noodle soup
Chicken stock run around like hula hoops, hula hoops
So why you wanna front for?
Get out my face, I'm making it
You don't know what to make of it, complaining shit
Wait for it
I got you covered if you got it coming
Nothing but a baby bitching
Imma take a minute, while you're taking minutes, crazy tripping
I'm the guy that chops your onions, it's my duty to
You're just hungry in the stomach
Funny like a bunch of loony tunes
Glutton stuff your gullet toodaloo
Gotta do the doo, super duper, move the que up
The only beef I got's in noodle soup
Roll it up, roll it (You gotta)
Roll it up, roll it (Get it)
Roll it up roll it (Uhh)
Roll it up Get it sold to the public
Bowl it up with a branch of broccoli
While I'm boiling pork for piggies actin fishy
Try this poison batch of oyster sauce
That shit cray! That shit cray!
That's what Jay and Ye would say...
Go ahead spit a rant
Tell me you were sent here by the middle man
And i was meant to give a damn
But homie I don't give a shit
Fuck ya dinner plans
I'ma focus on the bigger picture hit ya with the simple things
Flip a finger to ya problems like they're getting lost Inside a wheelie bin gone rotten like an orange might
Alright query this
Tell me if you're feeling it
I will not apologize
If your bothered by what I really think
The only beef I got's in noodle soup
Noodle soup, noodle soup
Chicken stock run around like hula hoops, hula hoops
Do the loopty loop
Yo I got no time, for the bovine
Sick and tired of all these primates
Tryna fight with me, bringing sides of beef, to my favourite carbohydrate
I just came here to get my soup on
Keep it crispy like them croutons
Pour tout le monde, either move along
Or wake the fuck up off that futon bitch
I'm the u-don and I goes in
Home made bombs, Mitre 10
Balling out in Bali like a boss sipping bin tang with my mi-goreng
No artificial flavouring, no MSG, just let me be, on the MP3, I'm an MVP
Why these whack motherfuckers wanna envy me?
Roll it up, roll it (You gotta)
Roll it up, roll it (Get it)
Roll it up roll it (Uhh)
Roll it up Get it sold to the public
Bowl it up hold it
Yo my whole team's smoking phillies
Never flowing willy nilly extra chili
Try this special sauce
That shit flav, That shit flav
That's what Flavor Flav would say
Just an average day, tryna catch a break
Like samp-a-lin that acetate
Watching cash exchange at a rapid rate (What what)
Let it marinate, (Uhh)
Addictive as that crack cocaine
Making up for what you lack in taste
Roll it up, roll it (You gotta)
Roll it up, roll it (Get it)
Roll it up roll it (Uhh)
Roll it up Get it sold to the public
Roll it up, roll it (You gotta)
Roll it up, roll it (Get it)
Roll it up roll it (Uhh)
Roll it up Get it sold to the public
The only beef I got's in noodle soup
Noodle soup, noodle soup
Chicken stock run around like hula hoops, hula hoops
Do the loopty loop
Thundamentals' song "Noodle Soup" is a fun and energetic take on food, beef, and life. The track starts with the repeated phrase "Roll it up, roll it" which sets the upbeat tone. The lyrics seem to be about the rapper's love for noodle soup, but there is more to the song than just a hunger for a good meal. The line "The only beef I got's in noodle soup" reveals a clever play on words, suggesting that the rapper doesn't have any actual problems or drama in his life, just a craving for a bowl of soup.
Throughout the song, the rapper takes jabs at people who try to bring negativity or drama into his life. He tells them to "get out my face, I'm making it" and keeps his focus on the simple pleasures of life. The chorus "Roll it up, roll it / Roll it all night long" seems to suggest that the rapper is taking life as it comes and enjoying every moment, even if it's just preparing a bowl of noodle soup.

Unsure at First... bit of a change in song style... almost a similar clip "feel" to Smiles Don't Lie..
I saw you guys perform this at Sprung @ Brissy... I was unsure at the time cos it was new but...
This Song is New, Fresh & Cool and is growing on me as exponentially as a bacterial colony (bad analogy... i know) :-)!!!
Good to see you guys are pushing the "hip hop" boundaries and developing NEW music!!!! al a Suburban Dark!
ps. Love the clip and the go slow ending!
@ozamatazbuckshank7906
This is awesome. Makes me happy to see an Australian hip hop group experimenting and trying new things. Way too many groups "play it safe" these days

@MrCosmojones1

Same man
@Joxer247
At first I wasn't so sure If I really diggin' this, but after giving this song some more plays I gotta say this track is awesome with its amount of pure fun and craziness, Too many hip hop artists nowadays play it safe with talking about the same old shit like drinking, sex, money, and drugs but you guys know how to keep things fresh and interesting. I like how you went for something different which normally other artists wouldn't do in fear of losing airplay or views and all that bullshit. But I give you guys mad credit for what others might see as taking a risk, it shows a courage in trying something new which in the end can only help you grow as an artist more. Thundamentals are one of the most refreshing hip hop acts I've listened too and you guys always know how to keep the party rocking.
Cheers from the U.S and can't wait for the new album, I hope you guys come over here one day.
@Bryceisdooby
Genuinely excited for the new album
