Editorial Reviews
Since late in 2009, Emcee/Producer tandem Statik Selektah and Termanology have been hard at work on their landmark collaborative album 1982. Now New York transplants, Statik and Termanology are Massachusetts natives and have worked together frequently throughout the last five years yet 1982 marks their first full-length project together. Termanology began making a name for himself with several highly acclaimed 12" singles. At the onset of 2006, Term s big break came when DJ Premier blessed him with one of his signature, scratch-laden beats. "Watch How It Go Down" instantly became an underground classic and with it Termanology thrusted himself onto Hip-Hop's international radar. The conscious hood anthem garnered the earnest MC tons of praise, landing him in The Source's "Unsigned Hype" and XXL's "Show and Prove" columns. On September 30, 2008, he released his debut album, Politics As Usual, to critical acclaim. Politics As Usual featured production and appearances from Hip-hop heavyweights such as Bun B, Prodigy, Freeway, Sheek Louch, The Alchemist, Pete Rock, Buckwild, Easy Mo Bee & Large Professor. Establishing his own spot amongst the ranks of East Coast hip-hop's seminal figures, DJ/producer Statik Selektah utilized his turntabling skills and ingenuity in PR and promotions to break some of the region's most promising artists, bearing his own influence on the national mixtape circuit. As a producer he has worked with Talib Kweli, Bun B, Styles P, Consequence, Freeway, M.O.P. and Jadakiss (among many others); and most importantly, the DJ became a major-player on the mixtape circuit as his releases with Nas, Q-Tip, John Legend, and Saigon received major accolades and write-up s. Statik dropped his first LP, Spell My Name Right in 2007, Stick 2 the Script in 2008 and his third full-length solo-project, 100 Proof: The Hangover in 2010. Statik has revealed that 1982 will be released on October 26, 2010 through Showoff Records, in conjunction with Term's ST. Records and famed Boston underground Hip Hop imprint Brick Records. The 1st leak from the album is the grimey headnodder "Goin Back." The record has been getting rave reviews on the net, radio & streets alike and features legendary West Coast act Xzibit (MTV s Pimp My Ride) & "The Hustler" Cassidy. A video is in the works for "Goin Back" with director John Colombo, who recently shot visuals the for official single off the 1982 album - "You Should Go Home," which features "Mr. 5 Mics" Bun B & Maybach Music crooner Masspike Miles. The video for "You Should Go Home" is out now and the single is available on Itunes & All digital stores. With the release date for the project now on the horizon, Termanology reminisces on the project named after his and Statik's mutual year of birth. "I'm excited, the album is finally here and hip-hop is in desperate need of an album like this right now." Other album highlights include Term spazzing out on the 100 bar intro "The World Renown" and linking up with legendary MC's Inspectah Deck, Styles P & M.O.P. As an added bonus, Statik Selektah has also revealed that the duo will release a free bonus EP of exclusive material to those who provide proof of purchase of the album.

I just picked up 1982 today and I only listened to it once, but after the first listen; sh*ts fire! I can't decide which is my favorite song on it yet. If any one reading this has never heard Termanology spit or even one of Statik's beats, go get this right now. I was expecting great things from this release because Statik Selektah's beats are always complex(one of the best doin it) and Term's lyrics just flow together. I don't know how Termanology is not on a major label yet. Even the guests list is nice. Cassidy, Reks, Xzibit, Bun B, M.O.P, Saigon, Inspectah Deck, Freeway(rips it), Styles P, Masspike Miles, and Jared Evan. Nice list and not too many people to take over the album, just enough. People need to stop sleepin on Boston hip hop and Term reps to the fullest as he always does. If you like this album, I suggest you pick up Statik Selektah's first album "Spell My Name Right". CLASSIC! Also pick up Termanology's "Politics as Usual". This is what hip hop should sound like, not that bouncin with a hook and garbage lyrics. Term and Statik you a SHOWOFF. Boston STAND UP.

Statik and Term are the sickest duo since pete rock and cl smooth. This album is one of the freshest cd i picked up in 2010. If you do not have this album, you need to cop it.

I first heard these two collaborate on the GTA 4 Lost and the Damned soundtrack on 'Here In Liberty City' and have been steadily bumping that since. An insane beat combined with deft lyricism dealing with the in-game doppleganger of NYC known as Liberty City resulted in a track far better than anything it needed to be. So when I found Statik Selektah and Termanology had a full album collaboration I figured they had earned enough good will to give them a try, and I was more than happy with the results. From the intriguing cover and title, the two set out to let you know this is a personal album invoking the year both of them were born - 1982. While reverent of the hip hop of yesteryear, they wisely decide not to copy a 1980s sound. Instead you have a very modern soundscape. Statik Selektah's beats are all excellent and Termanology is such an amazing lyricist that combines intelligence, humor, pain and love. With a journalist's eye for observing our society, Termanology drops insightful and real lyrics while perfectly rhyming Statik Selektah's diverse selection of beats.
Guest spots from Lil Fame of MOP, Inspectah Deck of Wu-Tang Clan, Styles P, Saigon, Reks, Xzibit, Cassidy and others are all exemplary as well. Get the first track 'World Renown' and try and resist checking out the rest of the album.

This album deserves nothing less than 4 stars. These artists make music that is an example of what rap is all about, and unfortunately, mainstream media and most of the hip-hop... Read more

Termanology has a bad connection
here is the result of work with friends, instead of work with good producers,
- his first solo album was a really good album
