    Souls of Mischief

    Souls of Mischief are a legendary hip-hop group from Oakland, California, and founding members of the influential Hieroglyphics collective. Comprised of A-Plus, Opio, Phesto, and Tajai, the group rose to prominence in the early 1990s with their classic debut 93 ’til Infinity—widely regarded as one of the most important and enduring albums in hip-hop history.

    Known for their intricate lyricism, forward-thinking production, and undeniable live chemistry, Souls of Mischief have spent over three decades building a global audience while maintaining full creative independence. As pioneers of the independent hip-hop movement, they helped establish a blueprint for artist ownership and direct-to-fan engagement that continues to influence the culture today.

    In 2023, Souls of Mischief completed a record-breaking world tour, selling out venues across North America, Europe, and Oceania. The group also regularly tours as part of the Hieroglyphics collective, delivering dynamic, extended performances that showcase the depth of the crew’s catalog and legacy as one of hip-hop’s most respected independent movements.

    With new music on the horizon, Souls of Mischief are currently preparing for the release of an upcoming studio album, marking an exciting new chapter for both longtime fans and new audiences.

    Sham Blak

     Many rappers regale listeners with dark tales of neighborhood violence while loudly proclaiming to be products of their environment. Unfortunately, most of those artists fail to give back to the very communities depicted in their lyrics. San Diego power spitter Sham Blak distinguishes himself from his contemporaries by not merely dropping thought-provoking rhymes but also giving back to his community. 
 The California wordsmith possesses the uncanny ability of being able to transform “hood life horrors” into sweeping narratives readily embraced by a global audience. Tracks like @cycles @cityvibes and @BadSham showcase the lyricist’s firm grasp of the hip hop genre while the @DDayProject mixtape proves his bar game is second to none. 
 Despite a constant blur of activity, the MC maintains a laser focus approach to his craft. After getting shot , Sham took heed of the life-altering experience and enlisted in the army. There he developed the discipline needed to effectively pursue his career. Fueled by his admiration for the late, great Nipsey Hussle, the support of underground crew Spooky Gang and a checklist of past accomplishments (working with local artists from Obnoxious to Snow Tha Product), he is now ready to conquer the industry at large. Be on the lookout for the mic mastermind & brace yourself for impact as he takes over the world!
