Reebok Classics and Rock The Bells bring you the exclusives: Classic Albums by Classic Artists. Souls of Mischief's debut record '93 Til Infinity and title track of the same name shook up hip-hop in 1993, becoming an instant classic. The underground, Oakland-based crew, consisting of four hardcore emcees—A-Plus, Phesto, Opio and Tajai—had been collaborating on tracks since high school.

Background: Classic hip-hop crew the Souls of Mischief famously laid claim to the microphone until "infinity" in their debut album, released in 1993. Since then, they've released 5 LPs, with the most recent being Montezuma's Revenge in 2009. They are known for their heavily sampled beats, which are pulled from sources as disparate as jazz, rock, an Islamic call to prayer, and some classical riffs, in addition to their fresh-squeezed-orange-juice-sm ooth-flow. The group consists of four emcees (Opio, Phesto, A-Plus, and Tajai) from Oakland who each bring their own style to each track. The tight production on individual tracks [...]
