Arguably the greatest West Coast hip-hop collective, though quite a few of their classics seem to go unnoticed around here (aside from the occasional Del or Souls Of Mischief threads). Which is a shame, as there are so many other amazing albums from Hiero members.

Primarily these three (though there's a lot more quality Hiero releases):

Pep Love - Ascension

Casual - Fear Itself

Extra Prolific - Like It Should Be

I've got the Extra Prolific album and though i havn't listened to it in a while i remember it being very nice, havn't heard the other two albums, but seen the casual album being mentioned a few times. I'll def check out the Pep Love album always liked him.

I've got the og pressings of both the Extra Prolific and Souls of Mischeif albums, and I've heard "Ascension" and "Feat Itself", everyone of those albums are tight..

I've also got Hiero's "3rd Eye Vision" which I've heard is becoming quite rare..

Hiero is definitely underappreciated. Fear Itself is one of the best Hiero albums.

The Extra Prolific album Like It Should Be is dope as hell.

Fear Itself is my 3rd favorite album of all time, only beaten by Liquid Swords & ATLiens. Classic indeed... not a single bad cut on the album.

Here's a link for those who haven't heard it:
