![]() ![]() These guys, notably Souls of Mischief, Domino, Pep Love, and Del, have all been doing music, both together and apart, since early high school. ![]() This has been long in the making for Hiero. Under the summer heat, it feels like an enormous block party, soundtracked by Too Short, blanketed by Dubs gear and bluntsmoke, squished between 3rd and Chestnut Street. Local news outlets estimated upwards of 20,000 attended last year and the amount is expected to grow this year. Held on Labor Day weekend, Hiero Day presents crew members, guests and friends, in what’s essentially a mini-rap fest with local supporting businesses and vendors. Traffic arteries are blocked, downtown’s disrupted, and extra cops are out in a positive swarm of civic pride and profusion. Once a year, Oakland reminds the world of its longstanding music scene with a celebration of hometown kings, the Hieroglyphics crew.
