The Architect

1993, West Coast... Dr Dre vs Eazy-E, Snoop Doggy Dog on the rise with his debut  
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 weed-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, still infinity. 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, ‘ ’93 ’til infinity.’ It means so many different things to so many  
different people”

‘This is 93 ‘til infinity, you know, so it’s markin’ the time but also movin’ beyond the  
time, you feel me?’ - Yasiin Bey (Mos Def)
