Casual x Albert Jenkins EP Release Party, Jan. 16 at Crybaby Oakland - Ticket link: https://www.ticketweb.com/event/the-return-casual-from-the-crybaby-tickets/13963893

Casual is a founding member of the legendary Hieroglyphics crew. Coming up under the mentorship of Del The Funky Homosapien, he produced Hiero's debut track "Burnt" and signed with Jive Records for his debut album "Fear Itself." Casual made hip-hop history when he and Hiero battled Saafir (RIP) and Hobo Junction live on the Wake Up Show in 1994. Besides being recognized as one of the best lyricists to ever come out of Oakland, he is a prodigious student of Egyptology and uses his platform to host debates and lectures on Kemetic language, archaeology, and history.
