Hieroglyphics

Hieroglyphics is an act on the Starverb influence map. Their sound grew out of Blue Scholars, Jurassic 5 and Lee Bannon. Those roots explain a lot about how Hieroglyphics arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, People Under the Stairs, Blackalicious, Dilated Peoples and J-Live, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Vic Mensa, Redman, Method Man and Macklemore, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 29 connections around Hieroglyphics, reaching back through Blue Scholars and forward to Vic Mensa. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
