“I shoulda stay gone.”Globetrotting emcee Kingdom Kome has dropped visuals for new track “Stay Gone” this morning. Shot by Kevin Ramos and edited by D. Sakolsky (for Gusto Gold Productions) footage was mostly filmed on location in San Juan, Puerto Rico. However, while the background is a tropic beach, the soulful message throughout is one of disgust. Kingdom Kome reveals “it’s mostly inspired by my disgust of the music industry and how soulless and godless it truly is. I’m basically saying that if it wasn’t for my love for our culture and my art that I would have left this game a long time ago.”

“Stay Gone” appears on the newest Kingdom Kome LP Mint Misprints, which was released today on all streaming platforms. The album was fully produced by RUEN and features additional lyrical firepower from Ill Bill, SKAM2?, Daniel Son, D.V. Alias Khryst and Che Uno. Other recent singles leaked from the project include “Shimmy Ye” featuring Ill Bill & SKAM2?, “Bullseye!”, “No LLove” featuring the legendary D.V Alias Khrist and the tribute to Kingdom Kome’s son “Letter To My Seed.” Links to all tracks appear below.

Kingdom Kome released five albums last year and RUEN produced a few of those, including Dirty Linens 2, the second full-length collaboration album between Kingdom Kome and Brockton, MA’s masked menace G Fam Black. RUEN also fully aced the Barrel Reserve LP, a more elegant and hazy work.

Hiero is back! Fresh off their international Hiero 360 Tour, the Oakland, CA super-crew has announced their first release in over thirteen years! All Said And Done will be released on 9/3/26 and the album’s first single “Drum Talk” is now available on all streaming platforms.

“Drum Talk” features an all-out lyrical smoke session from Casual, Souls Of Mischief members Phesto Dee and Tajai as well as Del The Funky Homosapien.

Speaking on the forthcoming album (the first official Hieroglyphics release since 2013 mixtape The Kitchen) Del beamed “It’s like the best-case scenario, the way it’s working. I love it! It’s working better than I even could have imagined.”

Formed out of the Bay Area, Hiero includes Casual, Souls Of Mischief (a quartet composed of A-Plus, Opio, Phesto and Tajai), Del The Funky Homosapien, Domino, DJ Toure and Pep Love. The crew announced their presence to the world on the track “Burnt“, the B-Side to Del The Funky Homosapien’s 1991 single “Mistadobalina.” However, it was the 1993 release of Del’s sophomore album, No Need For Alarm, Souls Of Mischief’s debut album, 93’ Til Infinity and Casual’s 1994 debut, Fear Itself that solidified their skills to hip-hop fanatics worldwide. Label frustrations and politics spurred the formation of their own label, Hiero Imperium. In 1998 Hieroglyphics released their debut album Third Eye Vision. This was followed by 2003’s offering, Full Circle.
