Title: Underground Comin Up
Review: Over the past couple of years, the popularity of Hieroglyphics has been rising, yet they are still for the most part an underground group. Pep Love's debut album should help them push a little closer to the surface. For the most part this is an excellent album. The beats are great chillin beats especially in songs like "Pacific Heights" and the title song "Ascension". For those of you who are familiar with Pep Love from the Hiero album, his lyrics and flow are once again off the hook. The only thing I didn't like about this album was some of the lyrical content. A few of his songs (not just "Black People") seemed to reflect black power themes such as would be heard in Dead Prez or KRS 1. That just isn't very appealing from a Hieroglypics member for some reason. Other than that, it is an excellent album and I would highly recommend it.
