Features Inspectah Deck, Skyzoo, Torae, Reks, Slaine, Lil Fame of M.O.P., Wais P, Dutch ReBelle, Chilla Jones, DJ Doo Wop, Chris Rivers, Willie the Kid, the Alchemist & Statik Selektah Can you move the crowd? You either can, or you can't....No gimmicks, no glamour and no kick- starters-just "Shut Up And Rap"! That's exactly what Termanology is doing on his upcoming new album; letting his music do the talking. A lot has changed since Term initially cut his teeth with several highly acclaimed 12" singles and a debut album, Politics As Usual (2008), that included a Mt. Rushmore like array of producers (DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Large Professor, Havoc, Alchemist, Hi-Tek, Buckwild & Nottz) which garnered tons of praise landing him in the Source's "Unsigned Hype" and XXL's "Show and Prove" columns. Since, he has released a collaborative effort with M.O.P.s Lil Fame (Fizzyology) and two-projects under the moniker 1982 with his brother from another mother Statik Selektah. Term has been included on BET and MTV, and spent a ton of time in 2014 touring, promoting the albums "GOYA" and 'MAS GOYA', in over twenty European countries on the Rap Mayhem Tour which featured Step Brothers Madchild, and DJ Revolution, and recent dates in Japan with DJ Tony Touch. However, the one constant throughout has always been Terms ability to spit. Shut Up and Rap boasts sixteen-tracks and features guest appearances from the legendary INS Deck, M.O.P.s Lil Fame, Skyzoo, Torae Slaine, Willie the Kid, DJ Doo Wop and REKS. Billy Loman supplies the majority of the soundscape for Shut Up And Rap, but Term continues to show his diversity and flexes his production muscle for one track and Alchemist and Statik Selektah join forces to co-produce the super-banger "El Wave." Term says: "A big part of this album is breaking new talent... a lot of times in the past I was focused on getting the biggest names on my albums, but this one was less about status and more about dudes who can just plain spit, regardless of their fame... "

Good Album, Too Many Guest
Rhymes are solid, beats are solid. Termanology is one of my favorite emcees. If you are into real Hip Hop pick this album up. If your taste is a little more "radioactive" this might not be for you. My only less than favorable remark about this album is that every track features somebody other than Termanology by himself. That is a trend in music that I am not a fan of. It always gives me the impression that the artist is unable to carry an album on their own. How do you even tour an album like that if the guest artist are not available for tour dates?

I enjoyed the album from start to finish
While I believe G.O.Y.A. was Term's opus, this is another very solid album. From flow to content to beat selection to features on the album, this shows his consistency. Which is something of a lost art these days. I enjoyed the album from start to finish. Not too many filler songs, Term delivers hard rhymes that express his life and struggle. Highly appreciated and touted. Can't wait for the next one to drop.
