A-Plus Takes You Back to 1982 When It All Started

(Brooklyn, NY – June 8, 2007) In the latest edition of the  Hierocast (Hiero Imperium's official podcast), Bay Area hip-hop ID sits down with rap legend A-Plus to discuss his "long and 'lustrious career."  Going all the way back to his first rhyme in 1982 at the age of 8, A-Plus gives you the inside scoop on his elementary schools days with Del the Funky Homosapien, Tajai, and Casual; Souls of Mischief's successful but frustrating time as a major-label artist; the evolution of Hieroglyphics; and the ups and downs of running your own label.  
 
In addition to his new album My Last Good Deed, A-Plus lets you in on the large number of upcoming projects he's involved in.  These include a new line of Hiero Jeans, recording and producing a full length LP with Del, working on a Hiero album in the studio, and finishing a Souls of Mischief album (with a yet-be-announced super-producer). With all of this in the works and more, A-Plus jokes that right now he has "enough to keep me busy." 
 
For those truly interested in the Golden Age of Hip-Hop and the struggle that A-Plus and Souls of Mischief underwent during their time at Jive Records, this Hierocast provides never-before-heard stories straight from the man who lived it.
 
Hiero Imperium Records is an artist owned and run label based in Oakland, California. Hiero's artists have sold over 1 million units and the label was one of the first record companies (indie or major) to embrace technology as a new way to connect with fans and disseminate music.
