Casual was third out the gate (following Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Souls of Mischief) from the Hieroglyphics crew, the undisputed kings of the Oakland underground scene. Casual's stature suggests that he may be the crew's bodyguard, until the mic is in his hand and the MC commences his verbal onslaught. Anything but casual in the sound booth, the gifted freestyler, known for his fierce battle tactics, dropped the moody Fear Itself in 1994 to a chorus of cheers from the underground set. Cas scored underground hits with "Didn't Mean To" and "That's How It Is," but overall, the Hiero sound takes an edgy, soulful turn on Fear. The album goes from playful to hyper-psychedelic with tracks like the brawling "Chained Minds."

@Arsinek1 I could hate, but its your opinion so I wont. I wont even question why u felt it was relevant 2 say that rather than just give Cas props 4 a classic. I mean, don't u think bringing up another artist sort of takes away from the greatness of the artist in front of us if everyone's constantly comparing them? Just sum food 4 thought.
