National Runaway Prevention Month with Briarpatch

Hip hop fans in Madison are in for a major night as Termanology hits the stage at Majestic Theatre on Thursday, April 23, alongside Jay Electronica as part of the 19 Day Reconnaissance Tour.

After nearly a decade away from Wisconsin, Termanology is making his long-awaited return, and he made it clear, this one is overdue. “I haven’t been back to Wisconsin in about 10 years,” he shared during a recent interview. “It’s long overdue. I’m excited to be here.”

Legacy Built on Longevity and Independence

Termanology’s career spans more than 20 years, with a catalog that speaks for itself. Since his breakout single “Watch How I Go Down” with DJ Premier in 2006, he has toured over 40 countries, released more than 60 projects, and collaborated with some of the biggest names in hip hop.

“Being independent and still relevant for 20-plus years—that’s what separates me,” he explained.

His consistency and global reach have made him a respected name in hip hop circles, and his deep catalog means fans can expect a performance packed with energy and history.

What to Expect at the Majestic Theater Show

Fans pulling up to the Majestic can expect a full set from Termanology, including around 20 tracks, plus appearances from special guests and his touring crew.

“I’m going to come up there and body it,” he said. “It’s going to be a good night.”

This stop on the tour is especially unique, as it marks one of the first times Termanology and Jay Electronica will share the stage together, bringing two distinct styles and fanbases into one room for a rare live experience.

New Music on the Way

Terminology also hinted at what’s next, revealing an upcoming album with Paul Wall dropping August 14. The project marks their third collaboration, adding to an already extensive list of joint records.

With over 40 songs each alongside Paul Wall and Bun B, Termanology continues to build strong connections across regions and generations of hip hop.

More Than the Highlight Reel

While fans often see the glamorous side of the industry, Termanology kept it real about the grind behind the scenes.

“People see the highlight reel,” he said. “But when the cameras are off, you’re still a dad, you still have responsibilities. If people understood how hard it is, they’d respect artists even more.”

That authenticity is part of what has kept him relevant for over two decades, and what continues to connect with fans worldwide.

A new barbecue destination is firing up in downtown Madison as Pink Heifer BBQ Saloon officially opens its doors at 567 State Street. The fast casual barbecue restaurant brings smoked meats, bold flavors, and late night service right to the heart of State Street, just steps from the Capitol.

Pink Heifer started in Monticello, Wisconsin, where the team spent four years perfecting recipes before expanding to Madison. Their State Street location focuses on quick service barbecue without sacrificing quality, featuring slow smoked brisket cooked for 12 to 14 hours, pulled pork, smoked chicken, and signature sides like mac and cheese and cornbread. The brisket is the standout, developed with guidance from veteran pit master John Rosenberg, who brings more than 25 years of barbecue experience.

One of the most popular menu items is the brisket and cheddar egg rolls, known as Wagon Rolls, served with Carolina gold sauce. Pink Heifer also supports the community through the Farmers and Family Initiative, donating one dollar from every Wagon Roll sold to help local farm families. Guests can also round up their purchase at the register to contribute.

The Madison location offers unique quick service barbecue with a saloon style atmosphere, tap beers, and single serve cocktails. Hours include Tuesday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., with extended hours Thursday through Saturday until 1 a.m., making it a new late night food option in downtown Madison.

To celebrate the grand opening, Pink Heifer is offering 50 percent off all weekend starting Friday at 11 a.m. The restaurant is located near the corner of State Street and Francis, next to Mooyah and Raising Cane’s.
