A friend of mine who happens to be a respected journalist surprised me 3 days ago when he asked: “Dude, do you think Termanology is worth a shit?” “Are you serious?” I replied, “He’s one of the freshest “new” rappers around.” My boy wrote back to say that he wasn’t a big fan. I insisted that he should at least listen to Term and let me know what he thought.

Dude hit me up again later that evening with a different opinion. “I would like to change my aforementioned opinion of Termanology,” he said. “He’s dope.”

Termanology is not a household name, but he definitely deserves some attention. If you’re like my boy (don’t worry, man, I won’t put you on blast), who didn’t know much about Term’s music, this mixtape gives you a wonderful opportunity to familiarize yourself with not one, but two, visionary MCs.

Avid Term and Joell Ortiz fans probably have these tracks. (I highlighted a bunch of them on my Rizoh’s Radio series for the 3 of you who still check for that.)
