Jon Owens (born December 19, 1973), known by his stage name Casual, is an American rapper and producer from Oakland, California, and one of the founding members of the alternative hip-hop collective Hieroglyphics. After his debut album Fear Itself garnered both critical and commercial success, Casual went on to become one of the most prominent and recognizable faces on the Hieroglyphics roster, releasing five full-length LPs over the span of his twenty-year career. Despite the lackluster sales of the LPs following his debut, which were preceded by an absence of both critical and widespread acclaim, Owens has garnered a following amongst devoted hip-hop fans, particularly in the Bay Area hip-hop scene, mainly due to his specialization in hardcore battle rhymes.
