Hieroglyphics are a Bay Area cornerstone — Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, Casual, Souls of Mischief (A-Plus, Opio, Tajai, Phesto), Pep Love, Domino and DJ Toure. "All Said And Done" as an album title sounds like a deliberate reckoning: everything has been said and done, so now what? Sixteen tracks from a collective that has existed as one of the West Coast's most important independent rap alliances since "3rd Eye Vision" (1998). What makes this return significant: Hieroglyphics were pioneers of direct music distribution. Their website Hieroglyphics Imperium Recordings was one of the first to sell music directly to fans, years before Bandcamp or other platforms existed. With sixteen tracks they deliver not a brief statement but a complete album. Casual recently appeared with the Pandamonium remix in the program, Del The Funky Homosapien featured on Kool Keith's "Sonic Psychosis" — individual crew members have been active. Now they stand together again.
