Termanology- If Heaven Was a Mile Away (MIXTAPE)


Here's the brand new mixtape from indy-rap superstar, Termanology.  Besides his tons of guest work with some of the games best (see DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Royce Da 5'9'') I haven't listened to much Term before this tape. Its a tribute to the late great Dilla, so nothing but great beats here.  Cool guest spots.
