Pre-order the CD here-https://www.undergroundhiphop.com/products/termanology-more-politics-cd "'More Politics is Term's best album yet" - Statik Selektah "Very excited to be working on Termanology's album. That's a hell of a line up. Sheesh" - J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League “Term is bringing that heat. More Politics is his pinnacle project.” - Buckwild In 2008, Termanology began making a name for himself, he had several highly-acclaimed singles in rotation and when DJ Premier laced him with one of his signature, scratch-laden beats on "Watch How It Go Down" the hood conscious anthem became an underground classic; and with it Termanology thrust himself onto hip-hop's international radar. Soon after, Term released his solo-debut, Politics As Usual, a project that included a Mount Rushmore like array of producers; DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor, Havoc, Alchemist, Hi-Tek, Buckwild, Easy Mo Bee & Nottz. Politics As Usual was one of those rare projects which managed to merge the best of both worlds for Hip-Hop fans; meshing classic boom-bap production from a virtual who's who list of production royalty with Term’s lyricism, swagger and bravado. Just as in life, in hip-hop everything comes full-circle and while a lot has changed since Termanology released his debut; he’s back with More Politics. Similar to his debut, More Politics again brings together the elite of the elite beatsmiths, as Just Blaze, Q-Tip, Buckwild, Hi-Tek, Nottz, Dame Grease, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League and his brother from another mother Statik Selektah all contribute production. Further, Term has also recruited all-star cast of luminaries to round out what promises to be one of 2016’s most diverse projects; Joey Bada$$, Bun B, Styles P, Sheek Louch, Saigon, KXNG Crooked, Bodega Bamz, Westside Gunn, Conway, Your Old Droog & Chris Rivers. “I am very excited to get back to my original formula of composing an album with nothing but legends behind the boards” Term states. “Even though I have done a bunch of projects with other artists, including collaborative albums with StatikSelektah and Lil Fame of MOP, among others (EP’s and mixtapes), More Politics is my second official album. I’m very proud of it and I can’t wait to see how the fans react to it. One of the most exciting things about working on a new project is connecting with people you haven’t worked with before. In this case that would be Just Blaze, Dame Grease, Q-Tip & J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League; all producers I am a big fan of. Having them on the album is truly a blessing." Termanology More Politics 11-18-16!!

Smoke DZA and Pete Rock release "Milestone," featuring BJ The Chicago Kid,Styles P, and Jadakiss today in support of the December 2nd release of Don't Smoke Rock. The song premiered today via Complex. The duo met up years ago and began discussing recording together as a team. Smoke DZA remembers, "[Pete Rock] was driving through my block and he saw me and we was just chopping it up, just on some regular shit. Funk Flex was working on this mixtape and he sent me this beat that PR did, and I was like, ‘Yo, I need a verse on this. Pete Rock made the beat!?' and that started the working relationship. From there we did a cut on my album Dreams.Zone.Achieve, called ‘Achieve.’ From there, PR was like, ‘Yo we just need to do a whole joint.’ You know, here we are.” Pete Continues, “I’m all for working with the younger generation. Smoke is a younger cat with an old soul, he made me realize that with the beats he picked. [Beats] I thought would go over his head, instead, he would get into some of that soulful stuff. I make beats. Whether you're young or of age or whatever. As long as you’re dope, you got me.” About Babygrande Records Established in 2001, Babygrande Records is one of the premier independent labels that pioneered the landscape.
