"3rd Eye Vision" was the first official release from Hieroglyphics, the West Coast "conscious" hip-hop collective founded by Del tha Funkee Homosapien. Though the 1998 album was the first under the Hiero moniker, each member had already contributed to an extensive collective discography, producing and appearing on each other's albums since the early 90s (most notably Souls of Mischief's 1993 conscious manifesto, "93 'til Infinity"). "Oakland Blackouts" is a standout track featuring two of the group's strongest emcees, Del and Opio, who exchange highly dynamic verses that are threaded expertly into Opio's bouncy, high energy production.
