Souls Of Mischief Kick A Freestyle Just Before The Release Of Their '93 Debut, R@f Band Pays Tribute
Below, Opio and Tajai demonstrate why they were one of the best to kick rhymes off of the top of the dome back in the early 90's. The two entertain with a flurry of witty and unpredictable freestyle rhymes dropped to the sound of a live band. Audio courtesy of Billy Jam.
From The House List:
On this recording we’re blessed with an off the cuff freestyle appearance by Souls of Mischief, in Austin promoting their then sophomore album No Man’s Land. Appearances by Tee Double, Mad One, among others! Listen to this like you would the radio in the mid 90’s even if you weren’t alive in the mid 90’s. The volume jumps a bit up and down, stay close to the volume button aka knob. Most importantly, enjoy this letter from the old school, just for you. Les remembers "We had two turntables in the control room, but they were wired to run remotely through two channels on the large control board where we managed all the other machines (CD players, minidisc players, cart players, cassette decks). We had no DJ at the show. We just played tunes, and worked with what we had".
College students got a treat and live Hip Hop experience like none other with this visit from members of Souls of Mischief. Enjoy thoughts about the music and culture from Tajai, Phesto & A-Plus as they reminisce on classics and their associated memories to the class. The Hip-Hop Class at U.C. Berkeley by Souls includes a discussion about the Crack Era, their relationship with A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul. They also talk about the Record Industry, West vs East Coast, Their Critique of Current Rappers plus much more!
