For those who know little to nothing about Minneapolis-born veteran rapper Musab, the latest Hierocast (for those who can’t put two and two together, that’s the Hieroglyphics Imperium podcast) is a good place to start.

The 30-minute episode, number 10 in the ongoing series, features three tracks from Musab’s 2002 album Respect The Life, which was produced by longtime collaborator A.N.T (of Atmosphere) and became and indie hip-hop classic. These tracks are followed by a few from Musab’s September 2007 debut for Hiero Imperium, Slick’s Box. Both fans and those less in the know should enjoy the sliver of history from this streetwise rapper’s career.
