Termanology – I Dream B.I.G. Ft. Styles P & Sheek Louch
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 Statik Selektah 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.”

E-40 Releases “Savage” New Video
Rap icon E-40 wastes no time in releasing a hot new video ?Savage? featuring heavy hitters Jazze Pha and B-Legit. ?The first time the word Savage was ever said in the way we are saying it now that I recall, was 1989 in a song by E-40 called Mr. Flamboyant. I said, Become a SAVAGE/ get swole boat ones/ 20-inch arms establish one-hitter quitters/ the whole get down/ now run up on me now. I keep it original and relevant mane,? says The Counselor, E-40.
The new tycoon visual features the dynamic trio toasting it up to the good life with assorted eye candy, plush whips and an array of Sluricane! ?E?40?s sound is always versatile but when we team up it?s a greenlight go … Savage has an uptempo dance floor beat if you ask me. The way Jazze Pha works the hook makes it catchy as a matter of fact, I sing it in my head all the time,? says B-Legit. The new single video is a preview of what?s to come on the highly anticipated 42-track effort, The D-Boy Diary Book 1 & The D-Boy Diary Book 2, slated to drop on Nov. 18, 2016.
?I was inspired by the young homies that were in the studio the night when I heard the Savage beat? I pulled my verses from that savage idgaf lifestyle when a youngin got a pocket fulla cash, smoking good & drinking good and he feels like he can have it all! Makes me feel like I?m kinda reliving my past life on this song,? says Jazze Pha. With features from Gucci Mane, Lil B, G-Eazy, Nef The Pharaoh, Droop-E, Jay Rock, Kid Ink, Mistah F.A.B., Eric Bellinger, Casey Veggies, AD, Joe Moses and more, this iconic project will mark E-40?s 26th and 27th solo releases.
The Bay Area Ambassador continues to defy the odds in today?s millennial age with two Gold Plaques for Function and his hit single Choices in 2016! While maintaining an internationally acclaimed sound nearly four decades, E-40 also continues to enjoy success with his premium beverage collective; Sluricane, Earl Stevens Selections and of course, E-40 Beer.
?Savage? follows up E-40?s earlier releases including the recent ?On One? featuring AD, and ?Slappin? featuring Nef the Pharaoah and D.R.A.M., and the radio hit “Petty” featuring Kamaiyah.
