On the heels of their second consecutive Boston Music Award for Hip-Hop Artist of the Year, Moe Pope & Rain release their new music video for “Lift Off” along with “What You Need Pt. 2″, an unreleased track off their critically acclaimed record, ‘Let The Right Ones In’
“Lift Off” features Nate Marsden (of Bearstronaut) mouthing Moe Pope’s lyrics on an animated journey through the streets of Boston. Rain’s production and playful synth melodies provide the backdrop for director/animator Matthew Watkins’ surreal imagining of the city.
“What You Need Pt. 2″ showcases Pope’s effortless rhyming accompanied by the ethereal vocals of Brooklyn songstress Tea Leigh. Anchored by Rain’s original composition, the track is exclusively available on Soundcloud.

2012 was a prodigious year for Termanology, as he released two highly acclaimed projects: reconnecting with Statik Selektah for the second installment of their group endeavor 1982 (the 2012 album was released in May of 2012), a project that featured Mac Miller, Freddie Gibbs, Bun B, Crooked I, Havoc and Roc Marciano and spurned a worldwide tour, plus a collaborative project with M.O.P’s Lil Fame entitled Fizzyology (which was released in November 2012) that featured Busta Rhymes, Bun B, Styles P, Freeway and production from DJ Premier & The Alchemist.
Term has also highlighted his stellar 2012 with numerous TV appearances, including judging BET’s “106th & Park” and a corresponding “The Back Room” freestyle, and was included on BET’s “The Cypha” alongside Mike Epps & French Montana. Term also became a regular on MTV, including being a guest on Sway’s “Rapfix” and on MTV News’ “Mixtape Monday.”
In 2013 Termanology will continue to build his legacy with his new solo-LP, G.O.Y.A. (Gunz Or Yay Available) which will be released on 10-8-13 via St/Brick Records. “I love the vibe on this album, and it was recorded in Lawrence, MA; the city I grew up in as a kid” Termanology states. “I am also excited about it because it features some artists I haven’t worked with before (N.O.R.E., Dice Raw of The Roots and Big Pun’s son Chris Rivers) and because I worked with an upcoming-producer (Shortfyuz) from my neighborhood on the entire project. G.O.Y.A. has my traditional grimy street sound, but a lot of the slang and beats are really Latin influenced” Term relays.
“G.O.Y.A.” drops on October 8th, 2013 on ST./Brick Records.

Nametag and Nameless tone down their rough edges for “The Teacher,” the latest video from their album ‘For Namesake’. Nametag gets personal with candid rhymes about his parents and their impact on his life, while Nameless adds reflective pianos to his usual knock.
