History of the Bay Podcast Ep. 129: Domino is a member of the legendary Hieroglyphics crew but usually plays a behind-the-scenes role as a producer and manager. He's the only member of the Oakland-based collective to come from San Francisco, where he gravitated away from the typical Bay Area rap scene towards more East Coast influences. This led him to Groove Merchant Records and meeting New York A&R Dante Ross, who introduced him to Del The Funky Homosapien. Since then, Domino played a major role in Souls of Mischief and Casual getting major label deals, then launching their own Hieroglyphics Imperium label. For over 30 years, he's been making a living from music and helping artists navigate the ever-changing landscape of the industry.
