Souls Of Mischief - [Chill From] 93 'till Infinity

Souls of Mischief is a four member alternative hip hop group from Oakland, California, that is also part of the hip hop collective, Hieroglyphics. The Souls of Mischief formed in 1993, and are comprised of rappers A-Plus, Opio, Phesto, and Tajai.

Oakland native Tajai began rapping with future band mate A-Plus at age 8, while both were in elementary school.[1] Tajai and Phesto met later in junior high school.[2] Tajai later introduced A-Plus and Phesto to the remaining Souls of Mischief member, Opio, and the group informally formed in high school before making their major label debut on Jive Records with their well received album, 93 'til Infinity, in 1993.[2]

93 'til Infinity is the group's highest charting album to date (#17 Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums; #85 Billboard 200), and in January, 1998, was named one of the Top 100 Rap albums by the Source Magazine. The group continued with Jive for one more album, 1995's No Man's Land, before being released from the label during that same year.

In 1995, following the release of the group from their major label contract with Jive, the group officially formed the alternative hip hop collective, Hieroglyphics, with rappers Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Casual, Pep Love, Jaybiz, and producer, Domino.[2] The group participated as full members in both Hieroglyphics' studio albums: 1998's 3rd Eye Vision, and 2003's Full Circle.

The group has released two albums on the Hiero's self-owned independent label, Hieroglyphics Imperium Recordings, 1999's Focus, and 2000's Trilogy: Conflict, Climax, Resolution. In an October 30, 2006 Hierocast (Hieroglyphics' official podcast), Del tha Funkee Homosapien reported that the Souls of Mischief were currently working on their next studio album with Prince Paul (De La Soul, Gravediggaz, Handsome Boy Modeling School).
