Souls of Mischief are a legendary hip-hop group from Oakland, California, and founding

members of the influential Hieroglyphics collective. Comprised of A-Plus, Opio, Phesto, and

Tajai, the group rose to prominence in the early 1990s with their classic debut 93 ’til

Infinity—widely regarded as one of the most important and enduring albums in hip-hop

history.

Known for their intricate lyricism, forward-thinking production, and undeniable live

chemistry, Souls of Mischief have spent over three decades building a global audience while

maintaining full creative independence. As pioneers of the independent hip-hop movement,

they helped establish a blueprint for artist ownership and direct-to-fan engagement that

continues to influence the culture today.

In 2023, Souls of Mischief completed a record-breaking world tour, selling out venues

across North America, Europe, and Oceania. The group also regularly tours as part of the

Hieroglyphics collective, delivering dynamic, extended performances that showcase the

depth of the crew’s catalog and legacy as one of hip-hop’s most respected independent

movements.

With new music on the horizon, Souls of Mischief are currently preparing for the release of

an upcoming studio album, marking an exciting new chapter for both longtime fans and

new audiences.
