Songfacts®:

  • Matthew Deluca, better known as Lil Mabu, is a drill rapper based in New York. He first made waves on TikTok, where his videos went viral.

    Lil Mabu self-released "Mathematical Disrespect" on May 4, 2023, while attending the Collegiate School, an elite private prep school in Manhattan. The sub-two-minute freestyle charted in both the UK and US, becoming the teenager's first entry on any worldwide major music charts.
  • Shout out my label, that's me
    I own a hundred percent of my cuts
    Bitch, nobody takin' a fee


    Lil Mabu lets us know he's no industry puppet. He's stacking his own paper, financing his music with no handouts.
  • The track title? It's all about Mabu dropping some truth. He says a threesome with two average girls isn't the same as getting with a dime.

    I got the bread, she chopped but said, "Can I bring a friend?"
    Never, never, never, I guess she forgot the bev', like
    Two fives don't equal a ten
    Quick math, don't try it again


    And check this, she's shaped like a turtle or a hen. Lil Mabu isn't holdin' back.
  • Mabu ends his punchline-filled banger by clowning his haters, flexing on them real hard.

    To all my competition, dig a grave, dig a grave
    I invested money in myself and it paid
    I can't take a break 'til Mabu is a household name


    Independent success, that's how he rolls, showing the world he made it on his own, no cards dealt.
  • Italy-based producer Hemz created the beat. His other credits include Fivio Foreign (feat Alicia Keys and Kanye West)'s "City Of Gods" and Russ Millions' "6:30."
  • Lil Mabu dropped an effects-laden music video on his YouTube page, which helped the song go viral. The rapper spits his bars, standing tall in front of the iconic Manhattan Bridge. He drops his similes like bombs while colorful graphics and animated expressions amplify the impact.
