Song For Sunday: Cabfare
This one is by request of Melissa.
Comprised of A-Plus, Tajai, Phesto, and Opio, the Souls of Mischief may be the group that best represents the Bay Area rap collective Hieroglyphics. Starting out as young, brash, and cocky high school students, the Souls hadn't even graduated school yet when they signed to Jive Records. But their reputation, in the form of unreleased demo tracks like the infamous "Cabfare" and "Souls of Mischief," preceded them. Today more underground and bootleg tapes of Souls material is circulating the West than that of any other group. The Souls have even been credited with spawning the phenomenon now known as "backpacker" hip hop fans: savvy suburban kids of all ethnicities who are true connoisseurs of hip hop.
