Hieroglyphics: Hip Hop is Vintage (Meditation # 4)



Hieroglyphics are one of the most original sounding true to their roots freestyle fun loving rap groups. The members include Del Tha Funky Homosapien, A-plus, Casual, Pep Love, Phesto, Domino, Opio, and Tajai. All of the artist hav eindividual careers but most would agree that they are at their best when they are together. In this case it's true, people really do bring the best out in each other. What sets Hiero apart from a lot of other rappers are the reasons as to why they have pursued a career in the industry at all. What started out as a hobby ended up being a way to make a little bank as well. I am confident that they will always stay true to themselves and the places they came from.

Hiero continues to embrace what it means to be a real emcee and how to make an honest living. I once met Adam "Aplus" Carter. We chatted for a while as he explained his values and morals in life. To this day I can remember him saying you need to be true to yourself and make good decisions in life. Attitude plays an important role in what we do and in who we are, he basically said you are in charge of your own destiny. He really inspired me to believe that you really can do anything you want when you put your mind to it, maybe even one day spit like the almighty Hieroglyphics crew themselves.
