The Palmer Squares

The Palmer Squares are a Chicago-based hip hop duo composed of Acumental (AKA Ac), and Term (AKA Terminal Knowledge and Term K). They originally began writing raps as Ordinary Dogs, and then iLLiteracy, changing their name to The Palmer Squares in 2010. In 2011, they gained underground notoriety in YouTube hip-hop circles when Term was called out by Herbal-T to rap in the MC Showcase 2011. The Palmer Squares proceeded to call out Wax (rapper). They went on to release their first EP "Spooky Language" May 8, 2012. After gaining traction in the underground hip hop community through various cyphers, the group made their official full-length debut with the 2013 album Finna. The project was released through the independent record label they created called Stank Face Records. They have since released their sophomore album Planet of The Shapes. The day of its release, Planet of The Shapes claimed the top spot on Bandcamp's Hip Hop chart. Still, they continue to post music videos, vlogs (known as TPS Reports) and on August 2, 2017, started a weekly podcast on their YouTube channel which currently boasts over 18 million views. In 2018 they released an album called "Junkyard Samurai" in collaboration with ProbCause. With or Without It, Stylized WoWI, was released digitally in March of 2020, with vinyl and CD copies becoming available soon thereafter.
