Souls of Mischief: Hip-Hop Group in New York

About Souls of Mischief

Souls of Mischief is an Oakland hip-hop group formed in 1991, made up of A-Plus, Opio, Phesto, and Tajai, and affiliated with the Hieroglyphics collective. Their work sits at the junction of jazz rap and old-school hip hop, built around tight internal rhyme and ensemble interplay. In New York City, they bring that Bay Area lineage to stages like Brooklyn Bowl, where the set reads as a study in group precision rather than solo spotlight. They have also shared bills with artists including Beau Young Prince.
