Souls Of Mischief: 93 'Til Infinity Vinyl 7"
"While the Souls of Mischief never sold the kind of numbers that would elevate them to a huge audience, for the hip-hop cognoscenti their 1993 album 93 'Til Infinity and the singles it spawned are nothing but classic. Showcasing a fluent, loose-limbed rhyme style as Tajai, Opio, A-Plus and Phesto combined and bounced off each other, the Souls were part of the wider eclectic hip-hop collective Hieroglyphics, where they were joined by Del tha Funkee Homosapien and Casual, among others. All of them proved to be compelling, unique MCâs with a light touch, and both this single and the same yearâs âThatâs When Ya Lostâ were fan favourites from the off. Itâs built around a handful of different samples from Billy Cobhamâs âHeatherâ, which are cleverly connected together and underpinned by a Graham Central Station drum break made indelible by everyone from the Geto Boys to Bizmarkie on âPickinâ Boogersâ. As a result it stands in contrast to much of the grimy, headnod hip-hop of the time, providing a melodic, lightly jazzy counterpoint that draws you in to the sinuous lyrics. Thereâs no great message in the music, just four MCâs elevating the art of bragging to show you how the west coast rocks it. This is the first time the original album version has been available on 7â, with the instrumental on the flip a must if youâre practicing this for hip-hop karaokeâŠ" - Mr Bongo
- black vinyl 7-inch
- first time 7" pressing of album version
