Cypress Hill and Souls of Mischief Bring Hip-Hop Mastery to Lincoln Theatre

Hip-hop heads and music enthusiasts alike are in for a treat this Tuesday, May 14th, 2024, as the iconic Lincoln Theatre in Washington, D.C., plays host to a night of lyrical prowess and beats that will surely reverberate through the ages. Headlining the evening are none other than Cypress Hill and Souls of Mischief, two legendary acts whose influence on the genre is as undeniable as it is enduring.

Cypress Hill, hailing from South Gate, California, burst onto the scene in the early 1990s with their self-titled debut album, introducing the world to their unique blend of West Coast hip-hop infused with elements of funk, rock, and Latin music. Comprised of B-Real, Sen Dog, DJ Muggs, and Eric Bobo, Cypress Hill quickly became known for their hard-hitting beats, introspective lyrics, and unapologetic embrace of cannabis culture.

With classic hits like "Insane in the Brain," "How I Could Just Kill a Man," and "Hits from the Bong," Cypress Hill carved out a niche for themselves in the hip-hop landscape, earning critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase along the way. Over the years, they have continued to push boundaries and defy expectations, cementing their status as one of the most influential groups in the genre.

Joining Cypress Hill on stage is Oakland-based collective Souls of Mischief, known for their intricate rhyme schemes, socially conscious lyrics, and jazz-inflected production. Comprising members A-Plus, Opio, Phesto, and Tajai, Souls of Mischief gained prominence in the early 1990s as part of the renowned Hieroglyphics crew, alongside acts like Del the Funky Homosapien and Casual.

With their seminal album "93 'til Infinity," Souls of Mischief solidified their place in hip-hop history, showcasing their lyrical dexterity and knack for crafting thoughtful, introspective rhymes. Tracks like the title track "93 'til Infinity" and "That's When Ya Lost" are widely regarded as classics, embodying the golden era of hip-hop and inspiring generations of artists to come.

Together, Cypress Hill and Souls of Mischief promise to deliver a night of music that transcends time and resonates with audiences old and new.
