The Video:
Can Opio and The Architect escape the clutches of a haunted San Francisco mansion? Armed with only an ounce of weed, bare fists, and plenty of braggadocio, the emcee and producer find themselves up against it in this special "Hieroween" video, "Vampire Hunters In The Valley Of Death." Watch as Opio takes on a possessed deer, proving that even feral beasts and ghouls don't possess the skills to mess with the Souls of Mischief emcee.
The Background:
As a teen, Opio hooked up with local rappers Tajai and A-Plus, whom he met through Casual, another emcee who was Opio's classmate and neighbor. The three instantly clicked and began recording together, soon adding fourth emcee Phesto Dee, to form the group Souls of Mischief. Together with Del the Funky Homosapien, Casual, Domino, and Pep Love, the legendary crew Hieroglyphics was born. Opio has always done double duty for Hiero as both an emcee and producer. Opio's recent production credits include the track "Naked Fonk" from Del's recent 11th Hour. Opio's first solo effort, 2005's Triangulation Station, moved over 20,000 units. Vulture's Wisdom, Volume 1 is the first chapter of a forthcoming trilogy from Opio. All three albums are produced by Oakland-based The Architect and will be released on Hiero Imperium records.
