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.
