It's "Politics As Usual" For Termanology This Fall - April 6, 2008 By : Rud



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.

Holy shit@those producers.  This has the potential to be one of the best NY releases in quite some time.  Should be real good

Termanology's puttin' it down for the Massachusettes crew, fa sho. Got a good glimpse of him on a music video he did called "So Amazing," produced by DJ Premier (And I thank Goya, formely of SOHH Latino for that!). Definitely one artist to be looking out for - even if he ain't west coast.
