Terp 2 it - Best Rapper in Austin 2008 (Austin 360)
If you were a record label sitting in your fancy office, listening to Terp 2 it’s album, The Freshest Dude, and trying to smoosh Terp 2 it into a certain category of hip hop, you’d probably classify him as nerdcore. You’d be half-right.
If you were an average rap fan sitting on a beanbag chair and listening to Terp’s album, you’d probably call him just another rapper spitting out rhymes about his non-violent, gangsta-free life. You’d be a third of a quarter right.
If you were Terp 2 it - seasoned battle rap veteran and self-proclaimed World Heavyweight Champion of the World - sitting on your toilet and listening to your own album, you’d probably call yourself a fun new voice in hip-hop. And you’d be just right, because you’d be Terp 2 it.
If you like hearing rap songs about over-ordering sushi, getting rides to work, and cleaning up parties, you should be spinning Terp. If you prefer songs about jewelry, money and cars then great, turn on the radio.
Terp 2 it has headlined Emo’s, opened for MC Chris and Comedy Central Presents, performed with Lord T and Eloise at SXSW, performed in Comedy Festival after-parties, headlined the Michael Showalter/Michael Ian Black after-party and has appeared at Maker Faire and in the New York Times. His debut album “The Freshest Dude” was released in 2007 and is available on iTunes, Studio8.net and in Austin, Tx at Waterloo Records, End of an Ear and the ColdTowne Theater.

hello Chris,
We have mutual friend, Jeff Hawkins. He said that I could contact you, my daughter needs to interview someone in the music industry. Basically someone who raps for her Isearch project in school. She attends Palms Middle School in Los Angeles. This is pretty much a big project for the children and her topic is rap and hip-hop. She really needs to speak to someone in the industry and Jeff thought that you might be able to helps us out. Please e-mail me back to let me know if she can talk to you or send you a questionaire for you to answer. This would mean and help her out a lot.
Thanks in advance,
Yvonne Griffin
I have left my e-mail address in the appropriate place.
