Souls Of Mischief

Oakland hip hop pioneers Souls of Mischief bring three decades of independent rap history to Union Stage, revisiting the intricate lyricism and laid back innovation that made them a defining force of the early 1990s. As founding members of the Hieroglyphics collective, A-Plus, Opio, Phesto, and Tajai built their reputation through sharp wordplay, inventive production, and the enduring influence of their debut album, 93 ’til Infinity. The Washington, D.C. performance pairs that legacy with appearances from DMV artist Nature Boi and Beau Young Prince, connecting generations of underground hip hop voices on one stage. With a catalog that continues to shape independent artists today, the night centers on the chemistry and craftsmanship that have kept Souls of Mischief a vital live act for more than 30 years.
