Yo, whassup? This is Tajai 

Of the mighty Souls of Mischief crew 

I'm chillin' with my man Phesto, my man A-Plus 

And my man Op', you know he's dope 

But right now, you know, we just maxin' in the studio 

We hailin' from East Oakland, California 

And, um, sometimes it gets a little hectic out there 

But right now, yo, we gonna up you on how we just chill.. 

1993, West Coast… Dr Dre vs Eazy-E, Snoop Doggy Dog on the rise with his debut  album alongside the N.W.A don of production. Tupac with the summer release of ‘I  Get Around’, but caught up in alleged gun fights and assault charges. G-funk the  national conversation. 

So when Souls Of Mischief came onto the scene with their funky outfits, slammin’  beats and breazy attitudes - backed with a lyrical dexterity far beyond their teenage  years – a fresh hop to the bounce of the West Coast was born. 

“Sometimes it gets a little hectic out there…”, Tajai exclaimed in the intro, “…But  right now we gonna up you on how we just chill”.  

The California quartet announced themselves with harmlessly refreshing confidence,  on more of a Tribe tip with jazz-drips and groove-infused rhythms – yet lyrically more  adventurous and weed-scented; more of a Pharcyde vibe with endlessly cool rhymes  and multisyllabic wordplays - yet more intellectual, energetic and freestyle-ready. A funky introspection was clear to see. This was Oakland, California in 1993.  

…Now, 30 years on, 93 to 23, still infinity. Still hectic out there. Time flies but Souls  are still chillin. “Now you have younger generations who were born in ’93,” says

Phesto. “They’re like, ‘ ’93 ’til infinity.’ It means so many different things to so many  different people” 

30 YEARS OF 93 ‘TIL INFINITY – AROUND THE WORLD IN 93 DATES #23tilinfinity

Full album renditions. Party feels. Dripping with Jazz. Flavoursome flows.  Cali energy. Fresh garms (with limited runs for sale) and ripe freestyles.  

‘This is 93 ‘til infinity, you know, so it’s markin’ the time but also movin’ beyond the  time, you feel me?’ - Yasiin Bey (Mos Def)
