Terminate on Sight is the second studio album from the Rap group G-Unit, a Hip Hop group originating from New York City. G-Unit emerged on the New York scene by independently releasing several mixtapes. The name of the group is short for "Guerilla Unit" as well as "Gangsta Unit".
As early as 1992, the true innovators of the Hip-Hop Jazz movement, Ghetto Philharmonic stayed busy promoting their sound and making the rounds on various NYC area college radio shows, where they were often asked to display their instrumental skills on the spot. With G-Clef da Mad Komposa on alto saxophone and Sledge on trumpet, what resulted was often one hellafied, cutting egde spontaneous jam session that shook the music scene to its very rafters. This album serves as further documentation of the fact that Ghetto Philharmonic was already breaking new ground in music in 1992-3, even before their full album release in 1994. DJ's spinning along include such legends as DJ Slynke, DJ Riz, and even DJ Spinbad himself, who was then a member of the group. Also included are some bonus track demos that were not included on "The Alternate Masters".
In 1992, Tuff City Records signed Ghetto Philharmonic, the premier jazz-meets-rap crew, the true innovators of the whole soon to be jazz/rap movement eventually associated with A Tribe Called Quest, US2, Digable Planets, and Brand New Heavies. However GP had a difference in that the emcees and producers were not only B-Boys who stayed true to the art, but accomplished jazz musicians as well. After performing at the 1993 New Music Seminar, just about every major label got a taste of the future, and soon scrambled to develop "similar" acts. By the time their album, "Hip-Hop Be-Bop" was finally released in 1994 after considerable delay, Tuff City had missed the boat. Here now, for the first time since 1994, are the alternate masters, digital remasterings, and shelved songs: the definitive recordings of Ghetto Philharmonic.
