DJ Deadeye presents...ST. Da Squad

There has been a littany of new east coast based Latino MC's flooding the game post Big Punisher that have staked their claim to his throne. None, I repeat none, have churned out as much quality music as Boston based (Lawrence, MA actually) Termanlogy. The half French, half Puerto Rican lyrical phenom has worked with everyone on the east coast scene that matters, in Boston or New York. He's traded verses with Bean town underground legend Edo G. He's done mixtapes with New York's piecemaker himself Tony Touch. He's grabbed beats from the likes of Buckwild, DJ Premier and Fizzy Womack. He's gone toe to toe with lyrical legends like Canibus and Blaq Poet. He's been featured on a plethora of mixtapes as a guest MC and he's pumped out 5 volumes of his own critically acclaimed mixtapes "Hood Politics". Those mixtapes are most likely the place where you first heard some of Term's good friends who go by ST. The Squad collectively. Comprised of about 6 MC's and 2 producers, ST. Da Squad is a formidable force. Every one of those MC's has brought it everytime I've heard them. None of em' are in any way corny or over the top, this is real hip-hop with real lyrics and the hardcore production to back it up. Speaking of the production, the 2 resident beatsmith's, Artisan and DC The Midi Alien are definitely a cut above the rest. Having lent their talents to Termanolgy many times I've become very acquainted with both of their styles. They got heat bottom line, and they both are a return to a time when sample based production was solid and creative. I would say that DC has the upper hand tho, being that Term and him have done so many ill joints together that they decided to compile them and release a retail mixtape called "Out The Gate", check that out, it bumps. This self titled mixtape/street album is the first time that ST. Da Squad will be on full display for the masses as they proudly rep their home "Law Town" aka Lawrence, MA. After hearing this you'll only be more enamored with the brand of street- hop that they're producing up there in Law town. This tape features ST. spitting vicious, sharp and witty line after line and garnering beats from a host of big time names like Don Cannon, Fizzy Womack and fellow Lawrence bretheren DJ Statik Selektah. This is a great look for ST. as a whole in terms of exposure and for Term, who kindly steps aside and lets his homeboys do their thing as he always promised he'd do, showing his loyalty as well as his humility. The ST. Squad takes the reins and doesen't disappoint their leader, while they prove they might be the most lyrically hardcore inclined group since early Terror Squad (the real Terror Squad). This is dope don't pass it up and don't pass up Termanology's debut album due out sometime later this year.
