Stalemate is the debut studio album of SMP, released in May 1995 by Re-Constriction Records.
John Bush of allmusic gave the Stalemate two and a half out of five stars and compared the music to My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult. Sonic Boom credited the duo with surpassing their contemporaries in meshing music styles, saying "the number of musicians that try to create music with this radical mixing of styles are few and far between [and] SMP outshine their brethren with a practiced ease."[2] Aiding & Abetting also wrote positively of the album, saying "it may take a couple moments to really tap into what SMP is doing, but the sonic explosion in your mind will be well worth the effort."[3] Trubie Turner of ReGen said the album captures the band at their "raw and intense best" and called Stalemate "bristling with attitude and a unique infusion of hip-hop style with subtle punk overtones."[4]
