I’d like to introduce a brand new website I have been chipping away at for a few years: Hieroglyphics.org, the Hieroglyphics.com archive.

Conceived as a historical artifact and interactive showcase, Hieroglyphics.org preserves the groundbreaking work myself and hip-hop group, Hieroglyphics pioneered in the early days of the Internet on our award-winning website, Hieroglyphics.com.

Between 1995-2001, Hieroglyphics.com drove innovation both online & offline as Hieroglyphics transitioned from artists dropped from their major label recording contracts to independent music pioneers. And no, this is not simply a case of self-indulgent hyperbole: we have an entire section on Hieroglyphics.org dedicated to press coverage to help add context and history to Hiero Dot Com’s achievements & the group’s legacy.

I’ve spoken a lot about Hieroglyphics on this website, so please be sure to check those articles out as well. But for something a bit more interactive, be sure to visit the Snapshot section of Hieroglyphics.org where you can view and discover (or re-discover!) the various Hiero websites as they appeared over the years.

There’s so much more at the link. Big shoutout to all of the Hiero Heads worldwide! Please check out Hieroglyphics.org and let me know what you think!
