Independent hip-hop torchbearer Terry Jones is kicking off the year with major news: two new EPs are on the way, including a high-profile collaborative project with viral freestyle sensation Speakz. Both projects will be fully produced by breakout sound architect Xyber Beats, known for his cutting-edge, cinematic approach to hip-hop production.
Following the momentum of standout singles like “10PM in Thunder Bay” and “Swervin Like Swayze”—which held down the Groovers Global Charts for nine straight weeks—Jones is entering a new chapter. Widely praised for his sharp lyricism, emotive storytelling, and visually rich soundscapes, Terry is cementing his place as one of the most compelling voices in the underground scene.
EP 1: A Personal Evolution
The first EP will see Terry Jones delve deep into introspective territory, building on his trademark authenticity with polished flows, vivid hooks, and thoughtful narratives. It’s a project designed to reflect growth, vulnerability, and the trials that have shaped his journey thus far.
EP 2: Terry Jones x Speakz – A Lyrical Masterclass
The second release is a joint EP with freestyle powerhouse Speakz, known for his jaw-dropping mic work on platforms like LA Leakers, Sway in the Morning, and No Jumper. Expect rapid-fire bars, ferocious delivery, and a heady blend of raw energy and soulful grounding. It’s a union of two distinct lyrical styles that promises to raise the bar for underground collaborations.
“This is a new era for me,” says Jones. “One [EP] is personal, reflective, and grounded. It’ll be more refined. But the project with Speakz is an opportunity I’m forever grateful for. Two styles, two voices, one mission—to bring something epic. With Xyber crafting the beats, it’s gonna be undeniable.”
What’s Next?
While official titles, cover art, and release dates have yet to be revealed, these back-to-back projects are already building serious buzz. With Xyber Beats’ immersive sound leading the charge, and two of the most exciting wordsmiths in the game joining forces, this is a 2025 release schedule you don’t want to sleep on.
