Souls of Mischief

1 Mar 2003

The Souls of Mischief is a rap group from Oakland that is comprised of members of Hieroglyphics. Chances are you haven’t heard of them since they aren’t big on the Billboard chart, but they make excellent music. They played at Westwood Plaza right smack in the middle of the UCLA campus.

Of all of the free concerts I have been to at UCLA, this one was the most authentic “concert.” A number of people came sporting Hieroglyphics t-shirts, black with a white face that has three eyes. To my surprise, about twenty people smoked out in the middle of the plaza and nobody went after them. Pepole smoke at the free concerts but never that much. Then again, the Souls of Mischief were giving away free copies of Herb magazine.

They played a pretty good set but I was most pleased when they concluded with their big hit, “93 Til’ Infinity.” They can play the song very well live and it was an excellent conclusion to a great free show.

Thanks Campus Events for putting it on!
