‘Til Infinity documentary celebrates 20 years of Souls of Mischief at the New York City International Film Festival
There are several crews in hip hop music that truly can be regarded as legendary. Originators like the Cold Crush Brothers helped start the genre, groups like Run-DMC helped launch rap into the stratosphere and groups like A Tribe Called Quest and Wu-Tang Clan have produced output that has become ingrained in the fabric of rap music’s eternal tapestry.
Souls of Mischief, and their umbrella crew Hieroglyphics, hold similar status in annals of rap history. The Oakland-based group made their mark with their seminal album, 1993’s “93 ’til Infinity,” with its iconic title track emerging as a true classic. With a hypnotic beat, perfectly matched vocals and poetical lyrical complexity 93 ’til Infinity exuded the type of creativity that was rampant during those years in hip hop’s history.
Now, thanks to Oakland filmmaker and lifelong fan Shomari Smith, the story of the Souls of Mischief can be shared by all with the release of ‘Til Infinity, a documentary on the group premiering at the New York City International Film Festival. With interviews from industry insiders and world-famous artists like Talib Kweli, Yasiin Bey, DJ Quik, Phife Dawg, Stretch Armstrong, Dante Ross and many others, along with commentary from the group members themselves, Smith has put together a fascinating look at one of music’s more interesting, talented and revered collectives.
