Beaming in from the outer realm of hip-hop, emcee Spaceman wants listeners to “Peep The Method.” New single (Produced by Escada and featuring guest verse from Jus-P) is powered by ambient synths and thick 808’s, meshing contemporary production from emcees sharpened by an upbringing in boom-bap. Speaking on his relationship with Queens native Jus-P, Spaceman revealed “I’ve known him for a while and over the years we’ve bonded as serious hip-hop practitioners with a mutual dedication to the fundamental redemptive nature of this culture and art-form.”

This is the fourth single in what Spaceman is calling his Social Skills series. After releasing three entirely solo projects, he devised this series as a step out of his comfort zone and collaborate with other rappers that he respects. The three other singles (also released this year) included “Mumblecore” featuring his former Inner City Kids Collective cohorts ABGOHARD and Producer K3Mal, “Think Twice” featuring Fatboi Sharif, produced by The Suspect (Allegedly) and “Geometry” featuring Kyle Rapps, and also produced by The Suspect (Allegedly).

All Said And Done, the latest chapter of Hieroglyphics is here! The third official full-length album from the Oakland, California super-crew is now available via streaming, vinyl and CD editions (links below) with hand-drawn album cover courtesy of Shomari Smith. A legendary amalgamation of hip-hop entities, Hieroglyphics is composed of Casual, Souls Of Mischief (a quartet composed of A-Plus, Opio, Phesto and Tajai), Del The Funky Homosapien, Domino, DJ Toure and Pep Love.

Recorded over a nine-month period in 2025, All Said And Done (the first official Hieroglyphics release since 2013 mixtape The Kitchen) is a fully self-produced affair (with tracks handled by A-Plus, Domino, DJ Toure with the only additional assistance from multi-instrumentalist Jim Greer and cuts on one track by DJ D-Styles of The Beat Junkies). Speaking on the album title, Casual stated that “it refers to this album being the skill level that we would like to be remembered for.” He also says that the album track “Uplifted” is a personal highlight that will “last to tell the story of HIero if no other song does.”

An official video for the track “The Way That It Be” featuring performances from Casual, Pep Love and Tajai was just released (link below).
