Terp 2 it’s unique Nerdcore/Comedy hip-hop style has landed him official gigs with SXSW and Comedy Central Presents, performances with MC Chris, MC Lars, and MC Frontalot and Michael Showalter/Michael Ian Black, and an affiliation with the documentary Nerdcore Rising.

Bio / Press / Music Videos
If you were a record label sitting in your fancy office, listening to Terp 2 it 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, 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 yourself, 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. And then you can rap about whatever you want, like a mountain made of cookies, a to-do list, or getting rides to work.
