Opio (Hieroglyphics) INTERVIEW !!!

[Damien J.]

HHM recently had the opportunity to talk to Opio who is a member of the Hieroglyphics. The Oakland-based Hieroglyphics are an underground rap collective who, at their best, combine an offbeat sensibility with a strong grounding in battle rhyming, freestyling, and other hip-hop traditions. Hieroglyphics never produced a breakout mainstream star, and all the members wound up dropped from their respective labels by the mid-'90s despite their generally high-quality work. The crew regrouped with their own label, Hieroglyphics Imperium, which provided not only a platform for their future releases, but total creative control. Opio recently released his long awaited album "Triangulation Station" on February 22, 2005.
