Hieroglyphics - Interview & Freestyle With By Billy Jam

ORIGINAL AIR DATE: September 18, 1993

This is the first episode to be released (out of chronological order) from the forgotten Bay Area hip-hop television series "Hip Hop Slam TV" which broadcast on various Bay Area TV stations at different times in the early nineties. There were a few separate series including this one, an independently produced thirteen-series, Saturday afternoon Hip Hop Slam TV
show that ran in the summer/early fall on legendary, now defunct, Oakland black music television station Soulbeat on Channel 37. Clocking in at just an hour, this DVD includes all the highlights from the third episode (September 18, 1993) in that series including interviews, freestyles, and videos. Featured are the members of the then new ieroglyphics crew ("Hiero Day"), New Kingdom, and Fat Joe. Originally this show was taped and broadcast live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 6 out of a small jenky but very special TV studio deep in East Oakland. The show always gave much love to the Bay Area scene at large, drawing no distinction between so-called "hip-hop" and "rap" which was typically discriminated against at the time by the average programmer and industry power-hitter.

NOTE: due to the underground nature of this rare recording some of the sound (on interview portions) may be "ghetto-style" which, as one praise-bestowing hip-hop critic gushed, is "all part of the charm and authenticity of Hip Hop Slam TV '93."
