Peace to Ka5p, recorded at last week’s show

I would normally hit this up but the Roc Raida tribute show is going down the same night. Should be live though. Didn’t know A.G. and Sadat X were forming a group together. Dope. link

Despite the snow, I hope some of y’all were able to make it out to the Souls of Mischief show last night. The turnout seemed to be a whole lot better than what I expected although this may be due more to an extra long guest list rather than actual paying customers. Weak. In any event, the crowd was pretty lively at times as the group went through their classics, some solo material and a dope track from their new album, which is executive produced by Prince Paul. Too bad it seemed like only five people knew who Paul was. Everyone else gets the gasface. On a semi-related note, if you haven’t picked up Opio’s new album “Vulture’s Wisdom,” do it now. I haven’t really heard a lot of new music to get excited about but this album is really great.

Videos coming soon. More pictures after the jump. Props to Peter Agoston for flying out the whole Souls of Mischief crew (all six of ‘em) to NYC for this one-time only show. And for turning down the blinding lights on stage.

Very excited about this show tonight. I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole Hieroglyphics crew came out. Although, I have a feeling a lot of heads will still be sleeping on this. Prove me wrong. link, buy tickets

Souls Of Mischief – Tour Stories

Kicking off the final week at the Knitting Factory are the Souls of Mischief in a rare NYC performance. I’m anticipating this more than the Anticon or Rakim / Black Thought / Keith Murray / Just-Ice shows coming up later in the week. What ever happened to that rumor about Prince Paul producing their next album? Heads better not sleep on this. buy tickets

Wow. Who’s not fuckin with this? You a sucka then.

Who’s fuckin with this? [raises hand]

You know, I haven’t worked with a group in years, and so I asked them if I could produce their next record, because I haven’t heard nothing from them in a while, collectively, and I always liked them. And we did it. I like that album a lot. I’m not going to lie. Like, you know, lots of [big] producers are like “Yeah, cool, whatever.” But I think within the last year or so, two years, like, I’ve been putting out stuff that I actually like. And this Souls album isn’t bad, you know, it’s a throwback.

My setup is a combination of both. You know, I use whatever the project calls for. If I’m saying, OK, I want to try and do something that’s more what today is. All right, yeah, obviously I’m going to need… I’m going to really just stay heavy on the computer and computer programs and, you know, software and new sounds on the computer.

Or if I’m saying, OK, well, I’m doing this Souls of Mischief record. OK, I’m going to break out the SP-12 and the ASR and the MPC and, you know, I’ll record part of it on the computer. Because computers are so easy to record, you know. But then, OK, I want to dust it out. So I’ll mix it down on quarter-inch tape, or, you know, then I’ll take it and put it on DAT, you know. Whatever type of vibe I’m trying to get, you know, off that project, is where I go.
