RBMA interview with Souls Of Mischief

souls-of-mischief

With Souls of Mischief‘s ’93 Til Infinity celebrating its 20th birfday this fall, Tajai, Opio and Phesto of the Hieroglyphics’ flagship crew sat down at Red Bull Music Academy Radio’s studios in NYC for an hour-long in-their-own-words-styled career retrospective/interview. Amongst the topics discussed: life in Oakland, CA pre-hip-hop, how the crew’s name went from Rhythm and Excellence to Soulz of Mischief to Souls of Mischief, the evolution of West Coast lyricism, and why the song “’93 Til Infinity” itself has enjoyed such tremendous longevity.
