Here Comes The Boom

In order to decipher the ancient language behind hieroglyphics,

one must endure years of painstaking education and immerse

themselves in hours upon hours of study. However, anyone can easily

decipher the Hieroglyphics of hip-hop tonight when the Full Circle

tour comes to town.

Straight out of the lusciously creative California Bay Area,

Hieroglyphics, the super group made up of Del the Funky Homo

Sapien, Casual, Pep Love, Domino and the Souls of Mischief, formed

in 1991. After years of live appearances and solo albums, they

released their first album as a unit in 1997, the critically

acclaimed “Third Eye Vision,” on their own label, Heiro Imperium.

After six years of touring and pursuing side projects, the crew

released its second album, “Full Circle,” on Oct. 7 and hit the

road for a 40-date tour, which begins and ends in California.

The Full Circle tour featuring the legendary Hieroglyphics crew,

labelmates Z-Man and Encore, and feature artist, Little Brother,

will make a stop in Fort Collins tonight at the Aggie Theater.

Little Brother, the newest group to emerge from hip-hop label

ABB Records, combines head-bobbing underground beats with the jazzy

influences of the Roots and vocal stylings that are all their own.

With MCs Phonte and Big Pooh and The 9th Wonder spinning wax, these

North Carolina based microphone Mozarts are on track to create

waves in the vast sea of hip-hop.

“Everybody thinks that North Carolina is this country-ass place

with people bouncing everywhere, but its not,” said Phonte on the

groups Web site. “When people hear we’re from North Carolina,

they’re surprised because to them we’re not what Southern rappers

are supposed to sound like. We could be from Brooklyn, Kansas or

anywhere.”
