It's two years since we first introduced you to the incredible talent that is Termanology when we caught up with him for an interview in 2006. Since then we have release more tracks than we can remember - fortunately you can refresh your own memories by checking our Termanology Archive and grabbing all previous tracks.
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!"
