Hieroglyphics

Hieroglyphicsis a 100% independent hip-hop collective founded in Oakland, California in 1995. Anchored by Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Souls of Mischief, Casual, Pep Love, Domino, and DJ Toure, Hiero has spent three decades building one of the most enduring legacies in West Coast underground hip-hop. From the landmark debut 93 ’til Infinity to the genre-defining 3rd Eye Vision and the sci-fi odyssey Deltron 3030, Hieroglyphics has remained a standard-bearer for independent artistry, lyricism, and creative autonomy — entirely on their own terms.
Don't miss Hiero Day feat. Killer Mike, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Hieroglyphics, Mereba and many more @ The Midway, SF (Monday, 9/7). Buy tickets here
