Hip-Hop Classic #22: Souls Of Mischief - 93 'Til Infinity (Chosen by Ryan Keen)

'93 'Til Infinity' is the title track and lead single from Souls Of Mischief's debut album, which was released in 1993 on Jive Records. The track was produced by SOM's own A-Plus and features of sample of 'Heather' by Billy Cobham. The album was propelled into success by this single, which reached #72 on the Billboard Hot 100 - it also featured singles 'That's When Ya Lost' and 'Never No More', which reached the Hot Rap Singles, but never charted on The Billboard Hot 100. All Music author Steve Huey believes that, "Although the title cut is an underappreciated classic, '93 'Til Infinity' makes its greatest impression through its stunning consistency, not individual highlights." Huey also goes on to remark that this is "one of the most slept-on records of the '90s". Couldn't agree more - this is how we chill...

Ryan Keen: "I first came accross this track in my early teens, its got such a laid back summer vibe to it. This track introduced me to the whole b-boy scene (as an observer!) and even though it's approaching 20 years since its release it still sounds awesome..."
