Let’s face it! It ain’t easy no more trying to come up in this rap game. But every now and then, one’s talent catches notice of a legend, they make a classic track, then BOOM! True talent all of a sudden is on the rise. In Boston’s risen star Termanology case, DJ Premier just happened to be that legend. And now has given Term the chance to make music with some of hip hop’s elite, to the likes of: Marley Marl, Nottz, M.O.P., Nas, Kanye West, Evidence, just to name a few. We got a chance to catch up with Termanology a few days after he was in Philly for a show at The Khyber. So check out what the man had to say….

Wordplay w/Equinox (CAEN Project & Q-Demented)
By: Deesha Dyer
The last WORDPLAY featured half of the CAEN project, producer/beat maker/vegetarian/sneaker freak Cimer Amor. This week we bring you the lyrical element, which is MC Equinox. Let’s see…I don’t know dude that well, so what to say about him. Ummm…he’s mad cool, shows love every time I see him, and he lives in the Northeast. We took a road trip one time to Rock Steady in New Jersey a few years back. I do remember that.But even so, I learned more about him through this than that 2 hour drive. Maybe you will too….

Interview w/Verso
By: Justin Weleski
Born on an island and raised in a city. Verso’s been that guy you’ve been seeing around the Philly hip hop scene for a minute now, but now can currently be heard! His debut album “Audio Visuals” is in stores now and features such talents as: Documentalz, Reef The Lost Cauze, Thee Phantom and more. But were not here to talk about them, so instead let’s learn a little more about the man behind the visual audios, and what he thinks about Jamaica, rap music, and the Philly hip hop scene. Which by the way, can now be heard on Power 99’s air waves!

Wordplay w/Cimer Amor (Caen Project)
*Pictured on the right in front of his MPC (at Beats & Rhymes)
By: Deesha Dyer
I had no clue that Cimer made beats until months after I met him. I thought he was just another fan on the scene enjoying shows. Well, I was right, but there was a bit more to him. Actually, I’m still not sure of all the things that he does. I do know however, that he is half of the CAEN project, which pairs him with MC, Equinox. Aside from that success (they’ve been charting on college stations), he also has a nice production resume. I won’t bore you much longer. Check out his MySpace for the official music stuff and see below for the unofficial….

I imagine most of ya’ll remember both DJ Cramske & Jawnzap7 posting up onto our message board about a TV reality show they were doing back in the winter. Well the show’s finally here starting TONIGHT on the Fuse network (check local listings) and will continue to air every Wed. at 10pm, although it sucks that comcast doesn’t carry the Fuse network. BUT you can watch new episodes every Thursday online. click link to enter website & watch: www.bodog.tv
So what a perfect time to not only drop one album, nor two, but THREE ALBUMS within the past 2 weeks! BurnDown All Stars dropped there sophmore album, Jawnzap7 drops his solo album, and Dialects follow up to there debut album! So keep posted to the show as you watch them tear up stages all over the country. (I smell a major label offering cooking up!)
New Hezekiah music video “Wild and Wreckless” and U.S. tour! (peep his myspace page) And of course, new album on Rawkus Records coming very, very soon. Peep the video By clicking HERE
In my infinite travels (pun intended), I have seen a lot of things. I have been to the mountain top… and boy is it cold but the food isn’t too bad. So in that I bring to you “Ask Infinite”. I am here to bestow my wisdom that has been cultivated from years of hip hop, Apple Juice and After Midnight Cinemax movies.
