I’ve been going through my MiniDV tapes (remember those?) and found the recording session for what would become “Center of Attention” (off of DJ Babu’s, Duck Season Vol. 1) featuring Souls of Mischief, Pep Love and Dilated Peoples. The video and recording session took place at Evidence’s Los Angeles-based home studio in March of 2001. Higher resolution video link after…

Interview with Domino, Hieroglyphics – June 1997 (Presented in Stink-E-Scope)

Dope article written by Tajai of Souls of Mischief over at XXLMag.com about Hiero’s independent legacy: Making the transition from being on a major, where everything is paid for—cars, hotels, plane tickets, tour support—to being on…nothing, was shocking and a little bit scary.
