93 'Til Infinity" by Souls Of Mischief gets funkier as Japanese band R@f pay tribute to it and the original sample by drummer Billy Cobham. In this funky jam by R@f, the 93 classic transforms into an upbeat and raw jam which mirrors elements of both Billy and SOM's tunes. 

 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.
