http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61519&rws=%2Fcasual%2Ftop-tracks.rssA member of the mighty Hieroglyphics crew, and well-known associate of Del and the Souls of Mischief, Oakland emcee Casual has been scorching mics and thrashing wack rappers for much of the nineties. His debut LP, 1994's <i>Fear Itself</i> was commercially slept-on, but established him as a top-shelf lyricist lightyears ahead of most of his peers. His intricate and witty rhymes run circles around the industry's self-absorbed, ice-infatuated rappers, with skilled wordplay, off-beat humor, and a unique vocal presence. He's laid down an assortment of highly quotable verses on records from his Hiero accomplices, and also released a self-produced cassette-only follow-up in '97 entitled <i>Meanwhile</i>. In 1999 Casual dropped a single called "V.I.P.," followed by his long-awaited new album <i>He Think He Raw</i> in 2001. - Brolin WinningBay Areaen720Wed, 6 Jan 2010 19:02:38 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61519&rws=%2Fcasual%2Ftop-tracks.rss A member of the mighty Hieroglyphics crew, and well-known associate of Del and the Souls of Mischief, Oakland emcee Casual has been scorching mics and thrashing wack rappers for much of the nineties.
