Hieroglyphics Imperium Recordings is an Oakland, California-based, independent, primarily true school hip-hop record label founded and owned by the underground hip hop collective Hieroglyphics. The label was created by the collective in 1995 to publish and market both Hieroglyphics' and individual member's releases, as well as releases from other affiliated artists whose major labels would deem not commercial enough for mass distribution.The label's roster features Hieroglyphics' entire catalog, as well as that of Hieroglyphics crew/collective members such as the Souls of Mischief, Del the Funky Homosapien, Casual, Pep Love, and Domino. Hieroglyphics Imperium has released music from other respected hip hop artists like O.C., Prince Ali; BKA Mahershala Ali, Knobody and Encore. The label has also helped to distribute projects for other labels such as "Even Closer" by soul singer Goapele on her independent imprint Skyblaze Records and "One Big Trip" on Decon.
