1993, West Coast... Dr Dre vs Eazy-E, Snoop Doggy Dog on the rise with hisdebut 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 W**d-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, into ’24, still infinity, still more to
give. 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, ‘
[literally] ’93
’til infinity.’ It means so many different things to so many different
people”
