New single off the upcoming project “The Kitchen”. In the midst of a nationwide highly controversial debate about gun control the Hiero Crew chimes in with their unique perspective. Known as pioneers of the underground Hieroglyphics continues to push the envelope with this stunning visual directed in house by Casual. “We are not promoting guns or violence,” explains Tajai (Hieroglyphics / Souls Of Mischief), “but simply expressing our thoughts on the issue and encouraging further dialogue.”

anyone cop Opio & Pep's "Fantasy Fallacy" album?? them 2 always had the best duo chemistry within the crew imo. I hardly check for them anymore but I'm kinda curious about this one

not yet, but i did see them (First Light) live not too long ago. The new stuff sounds good.. Some good beats and flows; however, Pep is definitely gonna be rappin his ass off on this. For sure.

It's definitely worth checking out. I almost made a thread about it...maybe I still should.

His flow has aged well over time.

his shit WAY better now.

I could see him doing a joint EP w/someone like Quik or ending up on something with Freddie Gibbs or something

I dig this

Was just listening to 3rd Eye Vision this past Sunday. Nice to see them all still building together

I'm not crazy about it.

I wonder if they went with two MCs, could the messaging have been stronger.

Cas and Del were definitely the nicest on this.

Looking forward to hearing more.

dope beat, dope rhymes & scratchin'!!!

their gear reminded me of an ol' Boot Camp Clik video. I can dig it.


*CROCKER*

word booty.

Nothing bad to say about any of it. everyone came off, beat was fresh, the vid was nice.

30+'s are killing it...

This as dope as I would expect from Hiero.

Thanks for the link. I had no clue Full Circle dropped ten years ago. I was certain it dropped much sooner than that. Remarkable Hiero has been doing it for so long.

Yesssss

This is very very solid. This wasn't on my radar mainly because I had no clue who the Sleeprockers were. I am certain I will try to cop this though; hopefully distribution is good enough so that I can cop this at a brick and mortar store tomorrow. Based on my quick listen just now, sounds as if Tajai is the MVP of that release. Del sounds a lot better compared to his recent output though.

this makes me happy

The Mayor, Indonesia, Passing Fads are my favs.

Very strong album.

Being up front I was skeptical about a new album based on if they were going to go a new direction, the times you know. I have been playing this nonstop and it is a dope Hiero album that I needed man. Heiro collaborating with the Sleeprockers was a sick look. Been a fan of Sleeprockers for a min ever since I found one of the dj's to be part of the Live Manikins group which I am a fan of. Both teams hold there own and when they did this project, easily a top album personally for me in 2013.

I currently have that track on repeat. I hope the crew goes on a decent tour for this album because I have a feeling this album will get slept on if they don't. Very very solid release. This almost rivals Third Eye Vision IMO.

totally addicted. Definitely on par with Third Eye (the track, not the whole album).

>track, not the whole album).

I'll go there and say that this album is on par with Third Eye Vision. Opio did his fucking thing on the production tip with this album; he did 8 beats for the album, including Indonesia. And I'm not sure it's because I've slept on him in the past, but Tajai surprised me how well he consistently flows on this as well. I'm certain this album will get slept on given how solid it is, which is a shame.

At the moment, I've had It's Partly Me on repeat for the majority of the day.

not Third Eye though....I can't do that. Too many mindblowing moments on Third Eye.

I will be playing this album for the rest of my life though.

But I started playing this album again after seeing it on my hard drive and it holds up very well. Flows quite nicely and the cuts from that DJ crew add some extra life to some of the tracks. Crazy to think of how old this album is.

and said he's "bored with rap"

lame

There's a couple of reasons why I'm wondering why's that's the case: 1) he feel DEEP into that literal hieroglyphics study he was into years ago and I think he even incorporated that into some of his raps, so I wonder if folks not feeling that is part of the reason he is 'bored with rap' and 2) I have a feeling those dudes are independently wealthy at this point, so I have a feeling he might not be struggling too much to feel the deep hunger to rhyme anymore. In any event, it's pretty sad dude isn't going to rhyme any more because he is one of the better rhymers out there when he's on point. I'd love to hear him with either Freddie Gibbs or Conway The Machine collaborate. When he was alive, Sean Price said he was interested in working with Casual, just imagine the bars on that project.

To close this response off on a positive note, here's an old and classic archived thread involving responses from Casual: http://tinyurl.com/y73eh9uv. Props to Archaic for being the pest to motivate Casual to respond to that thread in that manner.

Thanks for that link. Absolute gold.

Sometimes I go into archived posts and I get surprised that one of my replies is in there... like damn I've been here THIS long

wtf was i talking about?

thanks for pulling that up. that was fun to revisit.

I follow him on IG and usually his posts are about his solo adventures trekking around in his RV doing his outdoorsmen thing. I feel that Heiro did the right things to live life independently and what he chooses to showcase suggest that he is enjoying those freedoms.

kev

last i heard hes on some odd combo of hotep and wannabe stock trader

but still fucks w hiero and appears at the big events
