Souls of Mischief
Souls of Miischief are touring with thier new album Montezuma's Revenge. These legends of US hip hop are blessing us with a date at the White Rabbit!!!!
SOULS OF MISCHIEF, a group that has built a notoriously strong global fan base, since the 1993 release of their first certified hip hop classic Jive Records album ’93 TILL INFINITY’, return with hip hop royalty and producer extraordinaire PRINCE PAUL [DE LA SOUL / GRAVEDIGGAZ / HANDSOME BOY MODELLING SCHOOL / STETASONIC].
The new album, to be released in Spring 2010, comes off the back of a massive US & European tour that took in all the major countries / states including Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin & a roadblock instore at the CARHARTT STORE in London’s Covent Garden. Joining the fab four on the road where PRINCE PAUL himself and TAJAI’S latest signing to his own imprint, CLEAR LABEL, DEEPROOTED.
For those not in the know SOULS OF MISCHIEF are an alternative hip-hop group hailing from Oakland, CA. Also part of the hip-hop collective HIEROGLYPHICS. THE SOULS OF MISCHIEF formed in 1991 and are comprised of emcees A-PLUS, OPIO, PHESTO, and TAJAI. As a group, SOM have released 4 critically acclaimed albums and have been certified Gold by the RIAA. Their newest long awaited release MONTEZUMA’S REVENGE will be dropping on their very own HIERO IMPERIUM RECORDS. Having left the Jive Record situation they set up on their own and changed the game forming a fresh blueprint for many Independent hip hop labels of the last fifteen years.
“I remember meeting EL-P [ex Company Flow member and founder of Def Jux Records], Tajai explains…”and he was like”…‘when I first was thinking about setting up the label it was your template that I looked to, you guys where the ones I thought had that sh*t locked’
The label enabled them to promote and market themselves on their own terms, Phesto Adds “With the Jive situation they where a pop label that had like Brittney, Backstreet Boys and all that, they wanted us to come out on a mad commercial tip, like some kind of boy band!”….”We wasn’t having it so we broke out!”
MONTEZUMA’S REVENGE is definitely a product of such creative freedom and legendary producer PRINCE PAUL only added fuel to the four emcee’s melting pot as Opio recalls…”working with Paul was a dream…he’s just so talented it was a real buzz, we knew we had to be on point!” with most sessions being done remotely these days he continues to spread light on their process “Paul just came down to the Montezuma House our spot in Oakland…we just locked ourselves in and boom! This is was what came out!”
PRINCE PAUL’S involvement with the new album isn’t the only collaborative effort worth mentioning. The crew reached out to artist Steven Lopez to paint a portrait of the group and album producer PAUL. Lopez is perhaps best known for his street art and work with ERYKAH BADU.
Lopez, being a fan of SOM himself since their debut album, 93 'til Infinity gladly accepted. "When you work with other artists of the same caliber, there is no need to convince or walk them through. They are legit and it didn't take us long to have faith in each other. The icing on the cake was the fact that these cats are die-hard b-boys. This has always been my attitude in life and it was great to share it with them," stated Lopez when asked about his experience working with SOM.
MONTEZUMA’S REVENGE is out on the 8th Feb 2010….

CONTACT PLAY is basically some wastemen who occasionally wrench their faces out of the pile of filth and powder they are slumped in and rags it up propah.They are often safe. They rinse out tunes a bit but mainly juice continental fruits using juicers. They are a menace. They have a soggy album dripping in rinse, which you may buy!
