Backpackers rejoice – Souls of Mischief‘s highly-regarded debut 93 ‘Til Infinity is finally getting the reissue treatment it’s been waiting for.

I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised, it’s the album’s 20th anniversary (the clue’s in the name), and the Get On Down imprint have stepped in to take the reigns. The label’s Papa D said of the album:

“93 ‘Til Infinity represents everything that was great about Hip Hop during that time period, it is fun and still conscious, lyrically complex, but can make anyone’s head nod. It is a perfect blend of West Coast brag-and-boast and East Coast boom-bap.”

We can hardly disagree, and while younger rap aficionados more familiar with ‘Bugatti’ than they are ‘Bonita Applebum’ might have trouble accepting the album’s smoky, relatively light-hearted mood, the rest of us can lie back and sink into a welcome slice of nostalgia.

93 ‘Til Infinity 20th Anniversary Edition will be released on both double CD and double LP, and along with the original album in full will contain a carefully selected handful of instrumentals, remixes, acapellas and alternate versions. [via Hip Hop DX]
