“That’s When Ya Lost” and “Never No More” were the two other singles released off the record. The track is unquestionably in my top 100 songs of all time. The smooth deliveries and perfect sample (used on the beat) helped the album reach the top 30 on 1993’s billboard chart. “93 ‘Til Infinity” was the first single released off the album. This is quite impressive considering all of the other classic material released in 1993: M idnight Marauders, Enta Da Stage, Return Of The Boom Bap, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), and west coast classics Black Sunday, Doggystyle, and Lethal Injection. However, Souls of Mischief tackled this obstacle, and released one of the year’s best records (although it wasn’t noticed until several years later). At the time, west coast Hip-Hop was in their prime, and it was hard for the underground groups to receive reputation without being in the gangsta rap genre. These albums embrace superb jazz/funk production, silly yet clever lyrics, and enough creativity to last a lifetime. If you’re a fan of Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde or LabCabinCalifornia, then I’d imagine you’re also a fan of 93 ‘Til Infinity. Hieroglyphics was formed two years later. The album was acclaimed a classic, and is still a major influence to independent Hip-Hop today.

Two years later, the teens dropped a west coast underground classic 93 ‘Til Infinity. The group was created in High School, and consisted of A-Plus, Opio, Phesto D, and Tajai. In 1991, the group Souls of Mischief was formed out of Oakland, California.
