Hieroglyphics Crew Photos from 1999

I’ve been doing some CD-R Spring cleaning and came up on another batch of Hieroglyphics Crew photos that we took for the old Hieroglyphics.com website Emporium store in 1999.

This batch features Domino, Tajai, Casual, Pep Love & JayBiz, Phesto Dee and Del the Funky Homosapien sporting some of the fly fits we had on sale back in the day.

Check the gallery below. Pretty sure the photos were shot by Giant Peach Karen. The lovely Viviane Oh also makes a guest appearance in the group shot. Her work you may be familiar with on album covers such as Casual’s, He Think He Raw, Rasco’s, Time Waits For No Man and Souls of Mischief’s, Trilogy.

Hieroglyphics, Souls of Mischief, Del The Funky Homosapien Pics from 1997

I was going through some old discs and found a stash of photographs we used for the Hiero Emporium online store redesign on Hieroglyphics.com back in 1997. Thought I’d share em cause they’re pretty nice.

All photographs are the property of Jacob Rosenberg. Ya’ll know Saucee Jake: He can be heard on Del’s “Pet Peeves” getting hyphy on Del. Jacob was the director of videos such as “You Never Knew”, “If You Must”, and “At The Helm”.

Also, you may be wondering who that dude on the right of many of these pics are. That’s Alex Tse; the producer of the videos I mentioned above and dedicated Hiero fan. Where’s Alex now? Writing the screenplay to The Watchmen movie and the forthcoming live action Ninja Scroll adaptation, of course.

Youtube member, YO! EDY K RAPS has posted some classic, live Hiero YO! MTV Raps performances and interviews from the early 90′s online, some of which I havne’t seen personally in over 15 years. Check em out.

But oh — a word of warning: Get em while they’re hot. Vaicom (MTV’s parent company) pulled the Del / Fab 5 Freddy interview down the last time it was on Youtube, so best to check it quick if that’s gonna be the case a second time around. Enjoy.
