MISCHIEF IN LONDON.



ovelia (707) one ups the souls with an extra finger.

On Monday 23rd October 2006 (happy b'day Kezia!!!!) a real Hip Hop hurricane was brewing in cold and rainy Camden town. Live straight from Oakland, CA was the infinite SOULS OF MISCHIEF with DJ FLUX on the 1 and 2. Right from the get-go the beats were making the crowd, predominantly white - we thought we're in a Kenny Rogers' jam or something - bounce and roll up and down and even sideways.

Opio, Tajai and A-plus were kickin' it old school with their cool and lyrical rhymes Oakland style. The main shit was when the classic 93 till' infinity was blasting, and everyone just went nuts. Check them up on their own label website HIEROGLYPHICS.com. They have been doing it independently for 10 years now - so independendent that after the show, Tajai (one of the MC's) was in their concession stand selling T shirts and cd's. Now that's some ill independent!
