Domino Sheds New Light On Hiero's Slept-On and Underrated Tracks

(Brooklyn, NY- February 28, 2006) Hiero Imperium CEO and producer
extraordinaire Domino hosts the latest edition of the Hieroglyphics'
Podcast. Domino takes listeners on a tour of tracks that he feels have
been
overlooked and merit another listen. The 6 tracks span a decade and
feature
Hiero stalwarts Opio, Pep Love, O.C., Encore, Casual, and the
Hieroglyphics.

For those unfamiliar with the Hierocast, the format is much more
"behind-the-music" than frenzied mixtape. Domino's commentary gives the
songs context that listeners can't get anywhere else by providing the
background stories and underlying concepts of the tracks. Speaking
about the
Hieroglyphics' track "Shout It Out", Domino explains, " The vibe of
this
song is what Hieroglyphics is all about. It was originally recorded for
the
Full Circle album, but didn't make the album. Now when I listen to it
I
wonder why it didn't make it. " Domino introduces O.C.'s track
"Emotions"
by saying, " One of the things I respect O.C. for is that he has always
been
able to make songs that have depth and are reflective. O.C. is a true
lyricist."

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.
