The Souls Of Mischief have been celebrating 30 years of Hip-Hop respect with the fans that provided it. Tajai, A-Plus, Phesto Dee, and Opio are in the midst of a tour with 93 stops (dates below) celebrating the 30th anniversary of 93 Til’ Infinity, the quartet’s acclaimed debut album—and its launchpad single. While on the road, the Hieroglyphics members swung through Red Bull Studios and freestyled a new rendition of their classic—in 360. What is as impressive is that this freestyle was done in just one take.
Opio kicks things off with potent bars. “Might be a greater innovator of the rhyme scheme / My style is the Visine to get your eyes open-ing,” kicks the long-haired MC, who compares himself to Raggedy Andy in the following line. “Hieroglyphics will uplift the lyrics for the meanwhile / Articulate my lingo as I mingle in my medium of speech / Impeach the false prophet as I ponder and teach / A smidgen of religion to the fraudulent / Listen up, I’m the master of this convention,” touts the veteran who released Wounded Healer back in 2017.
The S.O.M. crew plays to the camera with their timeless chorus. A-Plus, who produced the incredible beat, raps next. He rhymes with a different rhythm than Ope’. His verse grabs from nursery rhymes and other routines for a pepped-up display. Earlier this year, A-Plus teamed with Living Legends member Sunspot Jonz for Stoney Hawk 2.
