Terp 2 it albums for sale:
Terp2It – “My Wiener Touches the Ceiling” CD
Part nerdcore hip-hop written and performed by multi-hyphenated comedian. Part comedy written and performed by believer in good hip-hop. All awesome (if you like things that are awesome).
Terp2It “The Freshest Dude” CD
It started with a to-do list and now look at Terp 2 it. An entire album of catchy hooks and sing-able anthems. (Somehow) A cross between nerdcore rap, pop rap and hardcore rap (trust me).
