news 1184619502 - January 1, 1970 By : Actually, that title is misleading... Termanology is not only dope on DJ Premier beats, he's dope on any kind of beat, he's without a doubt one of the most talented new artists I've heard in a long time. The Massachaussets rapper who's residing in New York got his first big look with his DJ Premier-produced smash hit "Watch How It Go Down!", and Primo just blessed him with another banger.

We've got a brand new Term track called "So Amazing", where he speaks on different labels and why he's "the best new artist out that's on the market". Talking about the song is senseless, you need to hear it:

Termanology -
So Amazing (Prod. by DJ Premier)

Enjoy the song, and keep it locked on dubcnn for the latest on Termanology. Support good Hip-Hop!

news 1201542836 - January 1, 1970 By : Termanology has built himself up within the last year to one of the East Coast's most anticipated new artists coming out. Through his relationship with DJ Premier, his critically acclaimed mixtapes as well as his spectacular singles "Watch How It Go Down" and "So Amazing", he's proven himself to be a force to be reckoned with.

A few days ago, he released a remix to his joint "The Music Industry", and reached out to some of Hip-Hop's finest lyricists to come join him. I know this has been out there, but it was too hot for us to let it slide, I know there are still some of you who haven't heard this.

Termanology got Crooked I, Royce Da 5'9, Akrobatik & Consequence on the track, which is produced by Fizzy Womack, Lil Fame's producer alter ego. Scratches on the song are courtesy of Statik Selektah. Check it out:

news 1207550162 - January 1, 1970 By : Long featured on Dubcnn [see previous updates], Massachusetts-bred, New York-based rapper Termanology has finally secured a release date for his long awaited, highly anticipated debut album.

"Politics As Usual" is set to drop this Fall 2008 via a joint venture between Termanologys own ST. Records and indy powerhouse Nature Sounds. The record features a who's who of production royalty, with DJ Premier, Hi-Tek, Pete Rock, The Alchemist, Havoc, Buckwild, Nottz and Large Professor providing tracks.

The half-white, half-Puerto Rican MC has come a long way since he released his first 12-inch in 2002. Through his alliance with influential mixtape DJ (and fellow Massachusetts native) Statik Selektah, Term began earning the respect of Boston's hip-hop scene with several highly acclaimed 12" singles.

2006 saw Termanology catch his big break when legendary producer DJ Premier, whom he had met three years earlier, finally blessed him with one of his signature, scratch-laden beats. Watch How It Go Down instantly became an underground classic and Termanology appeared on hip-hop's international radar. The conscious hood anthem garnered the earnest MC tons of praise, landing him in The Source's "Unsigned Hype" and XXL's "Show and Prove" columns. Around this time Dubcnn also caught up with him for an exclusive interview and dropped that track's remix - Watch How It Go Down (Remix) Feat. Papoose & Lil Fame.

Since then, Termanology has quickly climbed the industry ranks with his Hood Politics mixtape series and continued collaborations with DJ Premier - some of those can be downloaded courtesy of Dubcnn here. Term's hard work resulted in a joint venture deal with Brooklyn-based label Nature Sounds, which he signed in late 2007. "I decided to go the indy route to have total control of everything related to my project," Term explains.

Nature Sounds is quickly becoming the indy home for classic hip hop. During the last couple of years the label has released projects by several artists that include hip hop cult icon MF DOOM, Wu-Tang's Masta Killa (Made In Brooklyn), the debut album from Havoc of Mobb Deep (The Kush), most recently, Pete Rock's latest (NY's Finest).

Stay tuned to Dubcnn for the latest news and media from Termanology's debut album "Politics As Usual" which is due in the Fall of 2008.

news 1210432070 - January 1, 1970 By : Due to the overwhelming feedback to last week's Weekend Audio update, we decided to try and make this a weekly feature. We got a nice blend of new music this time around, mostly collaboration tracks, from some straight Hip-Hop sh-t to some gangsta sh-t.

The first one I want to give ya'll is a Butch Cassidy track, which appeared on Pr1me's "Transformers" mixtape. We have the untagged version for ya'll, courtesy of the producer of track Dae One. It's called "Now Here We Are", Butch Cassidy featuring Pr1me and Taje, West Coast as smooth as it gets:

Butch Cassidy -
Now Here We Are (ft. Pr1me & Taje) (Prod. by Dae One)

Next up is a coast to coast collaboration. Los Angeles Hip-Hop veterans Styles Of Beyond, who are currently working on their new album "Reseda Beach" which is set to drop this summer, have collaborated with the Wu Tang Clan's own RZA aka Bobby Digital. The result of the pairing is a track called "Don't Feel Bad", which I'm urging all of you to check out by clicking below:

Styles Of Beyond - Don't Feel Bad (ft. RZA)

We'll keep you up to date on Styles Of Beyond's "Reseda Beach" album.

Let's get to another coast to coast collaboration. Capone-N-Noreage have released a remix to their track "My Hood", which originally only featured The Clipse. They reached out to Daz Dillinger and Kurupt from the West Coast, as well as Uncle Murda and Maino from the East to assist them on this remix. The untagged version is here, grab it below:

C-N-N - My Hood (Remix) (ft. Dogg Pound, Clipse, Uncle Murda & Maino)


Next up is a joint off Bay Area rapper Errevelent's album "The Redefinition". We've been dropping tracks from his album for the past few months, and if you're not convinced enough to pick up his album yet, this track right here should change your mind. Errelevent linked up with one of the most talented up and coming rappers, the Primo co-signed Termanology. They knocked out a track called "The Formula", which you can download below:

Errelevent - The Formula (ft. Termanology)

Last week, we brought you a new Krondon solo track, along with a new Strong Arm Steady freestyle called "Tha Gang". We've recieved another new Strong Arm Steady track this week, this time it's a collaboration with Spliff Star called "Drugs & Money".

This is for those of you who like that drug talk, check it out below:

Strong Arm Steady - Drugs & Money (ft. Spliff Star)


And last but not least, we have a track by a new female singer that Daz Dillinger has been working with. She goes by the name of Melody Mona Lisa, and we have recieved her single "N Ur Bed", which features Daz himself on a verse. This is a cool feel good summer track, nothing that's going to change your life but definitely worth a couple spins, Daz comes off on his verse. Check it out below:

news 1214062853 - January 1, 1970 By : Another week has passed and as we have been doing for the past eight weeks, it's about time for another Weekend Audio edition on dubcnn. This week we have a couple brand new heaters as well as a few tracks that came out recently that might have been slept on, including Nipsey Hussle & The Game, DJ Muggs & Planet Asia and Robin Thicke amongst others.

Let's blast off with with a new Nipsey Hussle joint. The South Central rapper literally emerged out of nowhere and has been creating a buzz through his single "Let's Roll" with The Game and his "Bullets Ain't Got No Name" mixtape.

The Game recently went on the air on Power 106 and gave it up to Nipsey, calling him the next rapper to come up from the West Coast. It looks like Game is really endorsing Nipsey right about now, as he also jumped on a remix to the title track off the "Bullets Ain't Got No Name" mixtape, which you can download below:

Nipsey Hussle -
Bullets (Remix) (ft. The Game)

The next track we have for you today is the lead single off DJ Muggs and Planet Asia collaboration album "Pain Language", called "9MM". The b-side to the single, "That's What It Is", was featured in an earlier Weekend Audio update. "9MM" is another raw joint that I'm sure all the Soul Assassins heads are going to be feeling. Planet Asia and Muggs have sounds that really compliments each other, check out "9MM" below:

DJ Muggs vs Planet Asia - 9MM

Let's get to a new track by producer/rapper Tekneek aka Tek Nizzle of the Tangled Thoughts. The Philly native who moved out to California two years ago to release the "Philly 2 Cali" with his group under the supervision of Kurupt has been working hard, supplying beats to a wide range of artists in the game. He's currently back in Philadelphia working on some solo tracks, one of which he sent us exclusively to put out. The track is called "Neighborhood Celeb" and finds him collaborating with female MC Trish Barnes. Check it out:

Tekneek - Neighborhood Celeb (ft. Trish Barnes)

Next up is a new Spider Loc single called "Chillax", off the Loc's upcoming street album "The N-gga U Love To Hate", in stores next Tuesday, June 24th. Spider Loc has got people talking right now with his recent diss track to Young Buck, following Buck's "F-ck G-Unit" statement at a concert. What we have for you right now is on a different note though, this is a laid back track called "Chillax" to which Spider is also planning to shoot a video. To listen to the track, click below:

Spider Loc - Chillax

One of the biggest talents to emerge on the East Coast - scrap that - in Hip-Hop as a whole, has been Termanology. The Latino rapper from Massachusetts has been endorsed by DJ Premier and has through his numerous mixtapes proven his gift of gab. While he's putting the finishing touches on his debut LP "Hood Politics" (producers include DJ Premier, Hi-Tek, Pete Rock, Alchemist, Havoc, Buckwild and Nottz), he has leaked a new remix to "Welcome To The Machine", with Lil Fame of M.O.P. and Easy Money:

Termanology - Welcome To The Machine (ft. Lil Fame & Easy Money)

Last but not least is a track that could very well become the summer hit of 2008. I know this has been out for a few weeks, but I figured some of you might not be familiar with it yet so I decided to drop it with the Weekend Audio. I'm talking about Robin Thicke's new single "Magic". The talented singer has been steadily on the come up since his smash hit "Lost Without You" last year, recently also blessing Lil Wayne's album on "Tie My Hands", arguably the best track on "Carter 3". His new song "Magic" is not to be slept on, check it out:

Robin Thicke - Magic

We're done for this week, come back next weekend for more Weekend Audio!

news 1214664706 - January 1, 1970 By : Once again it's time for another edition of dubcnn's Weekend Audio! This week went by so fast it feels like the last Weekend Audio just dropped yesterday, but don't worry we've got enough dope new music for ya'll, as usual! We've got a healthy mix this week, from Chino XL's new single, some new Termanology, to a Juice and Crooked I collaboration.

Let's get things going with a new Chino XL solo track off his album "The Secret". The production was provided by super producer DJ Khalil, you might know the beat from the unreleased Xzibit track "On My Way" which leaked.

The beat was too dope to stay unreleased and Chino definitely did his thing on it, it's called "I'm Coming" and is set to appear on "The Secret", which will be dropping on Machete/Universal Records this summer. Check it out:

Chino XL -
I'm Coming (Prod. by DJ Khalil)

We're gonna follow up this high energy track with another one of the same caliber, this time by Black Wall Street rapper Juice on a collaboration with Long Beach's own Crooked I. From what we were told, The Game is also going to record a verse to the final version of the track, but this is what we have for now. The track is called "I Do It" and is a potential album track for Juice's debut solo project. You can also expect to hear Juice on the upcoming "You Know What It Is Vol. 5" mixtape that's coming very soon.

Juice - I Do It (ft. Crooked I)

Next up is a track somebody who's been present in most of the Weekend Audio updates so far: Termanology. That only goes to show how tough his grind is, blasting out quality material on a weekly basis. The joint we have for you today is called "Talking To God" and finds Term pondering on current issues going on the Game including Kanye West comparing Soulja Boy to Nas or Puff Daddy putting Lil Wayne on Biggie's level. His flow is on point as always and he picked the classic "Sean Carter" intro beat to rap over . Check out "Talking To God":

Termanology - Talking To God

Let's get to a new mixtape joint by Top Dawg Ent's own K. Dot. Through his "A Milli" remix, he already show us how he can ride a Lil Wayne track, and to further prove his point he's followed it up with another joint over a "Carter 3" beat, the Maestro-produced "3 Peat" intro track to be exact. First, for those who missed K.Dot's current smash single "Hater Love" produced by Cool & Dre, click here to catch up on that. Okay, now proceed to the "3 Peat" remix, shouts out to DJ Ill Will:

K. Dot - 3 Peat (Remix)

The next track we have for you is by up and coming female MC from Philadelphia Trish Barnes. You heard her with Tekneek aka Tek Nizzle on "Neighborhood Celeb" last week and now we're back with a Trish collabo with Gillie Da Kid, Ab-Liva (Re-Up Gang) and Marsha Ambrosia of Floetry. They collectively flow over Snoop Dogg's classic "G'z And Hustlaz" track, this is something for both you West Coasters and East Coasters. Philly's in the house:

Trish Barnes - Nightryders (ft. Gillie Da Kid, Ab-Liva & Marsha Ambrosia)

Last but not least is a joint by Orange County artist Thrasher. You might know him through his single "Fly Kicks" which was getting decent airplay on Power 106. Thrasher is currently working on his album "The One", which is going to feature production from DJ Khalil, Warryn Campbell, Arkitekt amongst others. He's also recently been in the studio with The Game. The track we have for you today is the title track off his album, "The One", produced by Warryn "Baby Dubb" Campbell. Check it out below:

news 1215986361 - January 1, 1970 By : The weekend is almost over, which means we're right on time for another edition of dubcnn's Weekend Audio, for the 11th time to be exact. We've plenty of hot new music, ranging from Akil of Jurassic 5, a Snoop Dogg collabo with a hot new R&B singer from the West, to producer Statik Selektah's new single and something from TJ Santana of the Young Hoggs, while going up to the Bay for a dose of Esinchill.

Let's get things going with somebody you haven't heard from in a long time, but Death Row Records fans will remember like it was yesterday: Swoop G.

Swoop G hit the scene with the Dogg Pound in the mid to late 90's and was supposed to be part of the second generation of Death Row artists to make it to the top. For obvious reasons, it did not happen and it seemed like Young Swoop had dissapeared for good. He's got a new single called "My Chuck Taylors" which features Glasses Malone and Kokane, as well as a new project coming soon, titled "C-Walkin' On The Moon". Check out "My Chuck Taylors" below:

Swoop G -
My Chuck Taylors (ft. G. Malone & Kokane)

Let's switch over the R&B side of things for a minute. I want to introduce you to a young up and coming West Coast singer by the name of J. Blue, who recently inked a deal with Universal Motown. He's currently wrapping up his album "The Blue Book: From the Block to the Bed" and has landed a Snoop Dogg feature on his first single, "Hey". The club banger is sure to get the ladies going and promises a bright future for J. Blue. I was reminded of Chris Brown a bit when I first heard him, judge for yourself by checking out "Hey" below:

J. Blue - Hey (ft. Snoop Dogg)

Next up is something new from West Coast veteran Akil The MC, formerly of Jurassic 5. Akil has been quiet for a while, as he's been mapping out and putting together a big project that he likes to call Unified Los Angeles Skill District. The Unified Skill District consists of MC's, producers, beat makers, B-Boys/Girls, film, radio, graphic designers and all forms of entertainment business. He will be releasing a first CD with some of the talented MC's that he picked out for the project and we have a 8-minute track available with snippets of some of the tracks on there. Check it out below:

Akil - Unified Skill District (Snippets)

Let's go up to to the Bay Area real quick, to Oakland to be exact. You might remember Esinchill as an extended member of Digital Underground. He appeared on the "Who Got the Gravy?" album and later on released a slept on solo project. To me, he represents a side of the Bay Area that is often overlooked, a more conscious, deep side, far away from the Sydeshows and Hyphy crowds that the Bay is often stereotyped by. He's got a provocative track called "N-gga, B-tch, H-e" on which he talks about the effect those words cause, off his upcoming album coming later this year. Check it out below:

Esinchill - N-gga, B-tch, H-e

We gotta head out to the East Coast for the next track, and it's well worth it! Massachusetts producer/DJ Statik Selektah is getting ready to release the follow up to his debut album "Spell My Name Right" in September, titled "Stick 2 The Script". He once again has an insane lineup on the album and the first single sets the tone for the record. I'm talking about the title track, "To The Top (Stick 2 The Script)", for which Statik reached out to his main man Termanology, as well as Cassidy and Saigon. The result is lyrical slaughter, witness is below:

Statik Selektah - To The Top (Stick 2 The Script) (ft. Termanolgy, Saigon & Cassidy)

Last but not least is a new joint by Compton's own TJ Santana from the Young Hoggs. He's got a very creative new track called "Directions", throughout which he gives a female directions from the IE (Inland Empire) to Magic Johnson's Fridays in Inglewood, all in rap form. He reached out to fellow Young Hogg Killa Cane to jump on the track with him, which is set to appear on TJ's solo project "Therapy (The Truth Shall Set Me Free)" coming later on this year. Check out Directions" below:

TJ Santana - Directions (ft. Killa Cane)

We're done! Check back next week for more "Weekend Audio"!

We told you back in April that the Massachusetts-bred; New York-based rapper was looking to release his debut album "Politics As Usual" this fall. True to his word, one of this year's most anticipated albums, will finally drop on September 30th, 2008.

As you'd expect Termanology's debut merges the best of both worlds for all Hip-Hop fans, as its meshes classic boom-bap production from a virtual who's who list of production royalty; DJ Premier, Hi-Tek, Pete Rock, The Alchemist, Havoc, Buckwild, Nottz and Large Professor.

The hard work and constant grinding looks set to have paid off for the ever present Termanology who has utilised all the praise and hype to deliver his debut album release which will not disappoint his fans. Just recently the album's buzz single was release - which we have for download below - entitled "How We Rock" a collaboration with Bun B and of course DJ Premier on production. When recently asked how the collaboration came about, Term stated "Around the time when I released 'Watch How It Go Down,' Bun B reached out to Premier and expressed interest in working with me. I ended up hangin with Bun at his birthday party in Houston and me preem & bun cooked up this track for my album - 'How We Rock.' We're shooting a video shortly, look for it!"

Below is the full album tracklist, previous tracks we've released that have shown up on the LP as well as the new cut mentioned above.

01) Its Time (Produced by Easy Mo Bee)
02) Watch How It Go Down (Produced by DJ Premier)
03) Respect My Walk (Produced by Buckwild)
04) Hood Shit (Feat. Prodigy of Mobb Deep) (Produced by The Alchemist)
05) Float (Produced by Nottz)
06) Please Don't Go (Produced by Nottz)
07) How We Rock (Feat. Bun B of UGK) (Produced by DJ Premier)
08) Drugs Crime & Gorillaz (Feat. Sheek Louch & Freeway) (Produced by Nottz)
09) In The Streets (Feat. Lil Fame of M.O.P.) (produced by Hi-Tek)

11) Sorry I Lied (Produced by Large Professor)
12) We Killin Ourselves (Produced by Pete Rock)
13) The Chosen (Resurrecting The Game) (Produced by Havoc)

news 1222252409 - January 1, 1970 By : With his album Politics As Usual dropping at the end of the month, the fire-spitting lyricist, Termanology, is undoubtedly flourishing with esteem in the realm of Hip-Hop and beyond; moving fluently through the crowd with his raw poetic expression and dropping abrasive bombs ever so swiftly…like bittersweet terms of endearment.

Moreover, when you have Premier production behind your sound, you can bank on a prosperous career -- not only from a monetary perspective, but you’re pretty much secured a stance of credibility and high-respect.

Dubcnn dropped in on Termanology for a couple minutes, as he gave us a brief rundown of his current project and graced us with a few details about his working relationship with DJ Premier…and just in case you’ve been somewhere else lately, this is the language everyone has been speaking -- a Termanology all his own.

Let’s get it!

The Exclusive Termanology Interview

Make sure you run through and check Termanology on his Official Myspace Page -- and stop by my MySpace too; hit me up with all of your fresh ideas and thoughts...and be sure to leave your feedback on our forums!

Shot out to DJ Atlas Jenkins!
