Hieroglyphics, Rap Noir, Stoney Hawk, Grandmasters, S.A.V.E. 1

If you’ve never heard of Oakland-based rap collective Hieroglyphics, you’ve most definitely seen their logo: a simple straight-lipped face with three eyes. Apparently, it’s the Mayan number for eight and the infinite. Iconic. The members of Hieroglyphics laid the foundation for Bay Area hiphop, centering it as one of the most influential sites in the hiphop world. The collective will be joined by Oakland rap duo Rap Noir, Stoney Hawk, and Grandmasters.
