This is one of the best musical offerings of the new year. Opio has always had a way with words but it's his ability behind the boards that really shines here. Amp Fiddler (Keys, Bass, and other instruments freaking) an Op make a deadly one-two punch in the music department. An Opio and company (Casual, Del, Souls, Rasco and Pigeon John, and Amp) make it interesting and draw into there worlds. Mind, Body, and Soul maybe one of Op's best(Bootie Brown from The Pharcyde kills the beat) moments on the mic and proves the Hiero camp has never lost their mojo! If you don't have it your SLEEP! Please wake up.

5.0 out of 5 stars good hip hop for hip hop heads, February 23, 2005

opio is arguably the most skilled member of the hiero crew, so it is obviously his skills that shine through on this release. the production is really tight and pleasantly reminds me of hip hop from 94. the best song is probably mind, body, soul, but there are certainly others that are exceptionally dope. i appreciate the hieroglyphics' approach to hip hop. good music, and extremely well crafted verses. this album is just another jewel on the crown of consistency that the hiero crew have now sported for more than a decade.

Finally arguably the finest Hiero lyricist drops his official solo album. Throughout every Souls of Mischief and Hieroglyphics album Opio's lyrics were always a major highlight. His high pitched delivery was always filled with charisma+intelligent rhymes. He also started to gain a name for being an accomplished producer on Hiero projects so he really was well equipped to put together his solo without major issues. The only negatives with this album was that out of the 17 joints there was about 6 or 7 mediocre tracks in comparison to the other 10 or 11. There was afew tracks were the production wasnt that good and no matter how hard Op tried he couldnt lift them. I kind of slept on this for awhile before picking this up but I havent regretted it once since then so I would recommend this to every hiphop/Hiero fan. The album gets off to a blinding start with "Viva Main Vein", an infectious beat+rhyme combo from Opio. The standouts on this in my opinion were "Viva Main Vein", "Confederate Burning" feat.Casual+Rasco, "Whats Wrong With This Picture?" feat.Del, "Roxanna", "For Those Who Dont Know", "Mind, Body and Soul", "Drivers Wanted" feat.Souls of Mischief, "Talk Dirty" feat.Pep Love, "Perseverance" and "Grassy Knoll" feat.Planet Asia. The rest were either suffering from average rhyming from guests, Opio or weaker production than the ones Ive mentioned. This really was a bright spot for hiphop at a time when every 2nd album coming out was crap. Go cop it, you wont regret it.
