It's true that somewhere amidst this post there is a a track featuring East Coast Old School rapper KRS One & West Coast upstart AWOL One
but first ya gotta scroll to get to that lil bit o' soul...
Cuz I'm rambling out here in da Bay...
Where indeed,
The Hieroglyphics crew have been responsible for some great music & many lively shows over the last decade or so...
likely the original "backback" hip hop hoppers, the boys were hooked up with major Elektra for an early 90's spell, but went on to maintain the Hieoroglyphics.com website and a large fanbase through pro-active self management of their careers.
Anyhow, Del The Funkee Homosapien will be playing at The Fillmore out here on Thursday, and I guess I'll be there, at least once I wrap up a little evening work...
The biggest star from the Hiero crew is no doubt Del The Funkee Homosapien
No More Worries here's a solo cut from his fellow Hieros crew member, Mr. Casual
Casual - Blind Date and while we are at it, a streetwise story from a bird's eye view from Mr. Pep Love

Opening for The Hieroglyphics crew will be bad ass Bay Area turntablist & multimedia maestro Mike Relm, whom I featured a few samples from back in August.
The kid is a twistedly talented scratchmaster who has a great CD out called Radio Fryer that is like a mega mash mix up session that just won't quit, roaming from hip hop into Joy Division. The best part is you get two discs(!), an extra one to share with a pal...
His live show is getting much praise and i look forward to getting there around 10ish to catch the kid cutting live chaos in time to his viciously synched video montages, like his most famous bit utilizing the corporate lackey cult classic Office Space...
First here's a little background on the Relm, a Bay Area native and baby of the late 1970's, Mike has done the competitive turntablist scene placing in the top of the International Turntablist Federation's USA Heats. Eventually he started broadcasting on SF's Wild 94 FM, was featured in Doug Pray's critically acclaimed doc "Scratch", and worked on Qbert's Wavetwisters DVD on many other scratch related video projects. In additio to the afforementioned Radio Fryer, Relm has produced "Suit Yourself", a film documenting his tours with Money Mark, The Gift of Gab, and D-Sharp that is available on DVD).Mike Relm - Turntable Timmy Animated Soundtrack Score
