*Apologies for the promo tags. I thought we were off that trend? Dah well.

I had the pleasure of seeing the Pharcyde reunite in Los Angeles for the Rock The Bells festival last year. Definitely a top-10 hip hop memory for me. Anyways, BMUSE got some footage of them as well as The Hiero’s Opio performing at the Fillmore up in NoCal. Check more out under the cut.

Just in time for the holiday. Happy Hieroween! Can Opio & the Architect escape the clutches of the haunted San Francisco mansion?

Some cool animated videos from the bonus DVD that comes with Opio‘s new album, Vulture’s Wisdom v.1. Originally intended for my home at Cartoon Network. More after the jump…

In between keeping up with The Game and his leakage, politicin’ with far too many people, knocking out countless projects; today has been insanely busy. And with that said I missed out on more than enough videos to justify this post. Above you can check Santogold’s latest vid for Lights Out. After the jump you’ll see new videos featuring Ludacris, Chris Brown, Opio, Devin the Dude, Musiq Soulchild, Three 6 Mafia, Nelly, B.G., Maino and much more…

Right as I was setting this up, an earthquake just hit. Only in California. Anyways, Michelle hit me with some new music from the Soul Of Mischief’s Opio off his upcoming solo album Vulture’s Wisdom, Volume 1. Also, hit the jump for a brand new podcast Hierocast, featuring exclusive content from the Hieroglyphics crew. Opio talks about the album as well.
