There Is Only Now (Cassette)
Souls Of Mischief

Amoeba Review
BillyJam, San Francisco 12/16/2014
Two plus decades in the game and Oakland's Souls of Mischief show no sign of slowing down as proven by 2014's There Is Only Now, which features the longtime Hiero hip-hop crew with multi-instrumentalist, producer, and composer Adrian Younge. This concept album styled like a blaxploitation film with a storyline full of love, loss, and revenge is based on a real life: a near fatal incident that occurred back in 1994 when the Souls were cornered in a parking lot outside a club by a masked gunman who shot at them. For the album, A Tribe Called Quest's Ali Shaheed Muhammad narrates the tale playing the part as a DJ for a fictional Oakland radio station. Other album guests include Busta Rhymes, William Hart (The Delfonics), Scarub (Living Legends), and Snoop Dogg who cameos on the album title track. The album was released in various formats and forms including cassette, black vinyl, and picture disc vinyl, as well as remix vinyl and the instrumental cassette and instrumental vinyl versions.
