Review: Souls Of Mischief - Montezuma's Revenge



Reprising their old roles as one of the west coast's trail blazing underground groups we find the Souls Of Mischief (off shoots of the Hieroglyphics crew) getting back up with each other for "Montezuma’s Revenge", their first album in nearly a decade, since they dropped "Trilogy: Conflict, Climax, Resolution".

The four man, Oakland-based group is still composed of A-Plus, Opio, Phesto, and Tajai and while they haven't exactly broken the mold of being harder to find subterranean MC's, they haven't lost a step with their chemistry either. All of the music contained in the menacingly titled "Montezuma's Revenge", (which is actually a nod to the street name in where they recorded this album) is for the most part cohesive and gracefully relevant for the times without being watered down to modern standards. These brutha's spent 9 years doin' whatever, but still have managed to link back up in the twilight of the 2K's to create an interesting look for their always loyal fan base.
