King Caztro Meets Souls of Mischief….

I had the privilege of knocking heads with Souls of Mischief at the Columbia Hotel. This was just before their massive in store event that took place on Monday 9th November at the Carhartt store in Covent Garden [Earlham St] London to celebrate the forthcoming Souls of Mischiefalbum Montezuma’s Revenge produced entirely by Prince Paul!!!

Souls of Mischief is an alternative hip hop group from Oakland, California, that is also part of the hip hop collective,Hieroglyphics. The Souls of Mischief formed in 1991 and is composed of emcees A-Plus, Opio, Phesto, and Tajai.

Oakland native Tajai began rhyming with future band mate A-Plus at age 8, while both were in elementary school. Tajai and Phesto met later in junior high school[2] Tajai later introduced A-Plus and Phesto to the remaining Souls of Mischief member, Opio, and the group informally formed in high school before making their major-label debut on Jive Records with their well-received album 93 ’til Infinity, in 1993.
93 ’til Infinity is the group’s highest charting album to date (#17 Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums; #85 Billboard 200), and in January, 1998, was named one of the Top 100 Rap albums by The Source magazine. Souls of Mischief are considered members of the Native Tongues Posse due to their appearance on the collage of artists on A Tribe Called Quest’s album Midnight Marauders.

The group stayed with Jive for one more album, 1995’s No Man’s Land, before being released from the label during that same year.
In 1995, following the release of the group from its major-label contract with Jive, the group officially formed the alternative hip-hop collective Hieroglyphics, withemcees Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Casual, Pep Love, Jaybiz, and producer Domino. The group participated as full members in both Hieroglyphics’ studio albums: 1998’s 3rd Eye Vision, and 2003’s Full Circle.
The group has released two albums on the Hiero’s self-owned independent label, Hieroglyphics Imperium Recordings, 1999’s Focus, and 2000’s Trilogy: Conflict, Climax, Resolution.
On October 30, 2006, Del tha Funkee Homosapien reported that the Souls of Mischief were currently working on their next studio album with Prince Paul (De La Soul, Gravediggaz, Handsome Boy Modeling School).

On January 6, 2009 Souls of Mischief released the “Tour Stories” EP produced by Domino and co-produced by Prince Paul. The song is taken from the forthcoming album, Montezuma’s Revenge on Hieroglyphics Imperium.

I’ll be talking to Cuppcake about how she got her name and much much more!

Sherry Dixon Talks About AUTISM This Sunday

Sherry talks about Autism this Sunday 12pm-2pm on BANG 103.6FM

Joining in the discussion will be Venessa Brown and Liesje Dusauzay, founders of Proud Parents of Autistic Children, talking about the issues of Autistic Children and sharing some knowledge to help others enter into the autistic world.

If you know someone (or are related to someone) who has AUTISM then this show is a must listen to. The discussion so that people will understand that autism is not a disease; people with autism are not looking for a cure but for ACCEPTANCE.

Autism is a complex developmental disability that typically appears during the first three years of life and affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. Autism is defined by a certain set of behaviours and is a “spectrum disorder” that affects individuals differently and to varying degrees. There is no known single cause for autism, but increased awareness and funding can help families today.

In February 2007, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued their ADDM autism prevalence report. The report, which looked at a sample of 8 year olds in 2000 and 2002, concluded that the prevalence of autism had risen to 1 in every 150 American children, and almost 1 in 94 boys. The issuance of this report caused a media uproar, but the news was not a surprise to the Autism Society or to the 1.5 million Americans living with the effects of autism spectrum disorder. Nonetheless, the spotlight shown on autism as a result of the prevalence increase opens opportunities for the nation to consider how to serve these families facing a lifetime of supports for their children.
