Del is the only one from Hiero that has fallen off the past few yrs. His songs over his own beats have been subpar to say the least but when he's rhyming over other people's production, he seems to be a totally different(ie better) EMCEE. That album he did with Tame One a couple yrs back was dope as was the production. So I'm looking foward to Deltron II since Automator is doing the production

Pep Love hasn't really done much the past 7 or so yrs but I'm feeling the new song. His flow is still intact, we'll just have to see if he can still bring it high level on the lyrical end. The tracklisting for the album is of producers I haven't really heard of so that concerns me a bit on the production end.

As for Phesto his EP was dope and the two videos are dope esp Every Detail. That's one of the best hip hop songs I've heard in a while. He's also gotten better with time. From the Dealers mixtape w/DJ Lex to the new single, Phes has been right there with Cas and Op as the best EMCEEE in Hiero.

Right now Cas has probably been the best spitter out there the last few yrs. Nothing but quality from him.

Opio has been putting out quality heat the past 4 yrs so I expect his new album to be of the same.

Tajai still spittin at a high level, I'm just have concerns for his beat selections and Melle Mel flow(it can be annoying at times). Power Movement had a few questionable beats on it and some corn.

A Plus is hit or miss but his last EP, Pepper Spray, was great. I'm looking foward to his new full length album because I wasn't really feeling Last Good Deed from in 06.

All in all Hiero still brings it to me but just like any crew that's been doing it for 20 yrs there are going to be ups and downs and peaks and valleys. I just think this year will be a peak for them as a whole and possibly individually.
