On the early 90′s Hiero tip

Hiero logo 93 was a memorable year. Back when I was in high school, Hieroglyphics was the shit. I have many fond memories of bumpin Souls, Del, Casual & crew on the regular. I’m still rocking a 93 Til Infinity cassingle in the whip. So, I wanted to give a shout out to Hiero with some dope and possibly lesser known cuts.

Casual – Later On RMX
I remember this cut from the Get The Girl Grab The Money And Run EP. This remix kills the OG. CLASSIC!!

Del – Eye Examination
This is the cut that sparked this post. This is a long time favorite of mine, and one no one ever knows when i talk about it. This beat is ridiculous and Del kills it. This shit I had on a random compilation tape, though I can’t recall what it was. I recently re-uped and for a crispy digi version. And now it’s for you…

Extra Prolific – Brown Sugar (Domino Remix)
I recently came up on this 12″ for a couple bucks. Not sure why I never had this, cause the cut is a classic for me (was this hard to find?). Snupe comes out the gate with a hard ass pimped out verse. BTW Extra Prolific was originally a project of Snupe and producer Mike G (later just Snupe, with no Hiero affiliation).

Souls Of Mischief- Sho For Real
Ahh, the golden boys of Hiero. OK, this one isn’t so obscure, but it seems a bit forgotten. I remember everyone was kinda disappointed with Souls after the 93 era. It seemed hard to follow that up first album, but this 12″ really grew on me fast though. I’ve recently put it back into rotation.
