BANG! @southernvangard #radio #interview #session with Opio of Souls of Mischief & the legendary Hieroglyphics crew. Opio breaks down the early, heavy influence his parents had on him musically, coming up in the Bay Area, linking with Casual and the rest of the Hiero crew in middle/high school, and outlines Del’s near prophetic vision for the crew. Of course we touch on the Jive days, their gateway to New York that came in the form of one Dante Ross, touring with A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul and breaking ground with their independent movement, as well Hiero's incredibly insightful investment in the internet before a lot of folks knew what AOL, Netscape Navigator and a modem was! We also dig into the recent inspiration Adrian Younge brought to the Hiero table and the origins of Opio’s collaboration with Free the Robots, his insane live show and his experience on Snoop’s GGN! School’s in session folks, take a seat at your desk and listen up! Check out the Subconcious Mind EP from Opio x Free the Robots @soundcloud and get ready for the full length LP that’s dropping soon! // soundcloud.com/southernvangard // mixcloud.com/southernvangard // southernvangard.com // #hiphop #rap #interviews #DJ #mix #podcast #ATL #WORLDWIDE
