Rising from the Oakland hip-hop scene, Souls of Mischief, a subgroup of Hieroglyphics, talk about their daily lives in 1993, from women, talking about money, and eating grub.

Planes and Pigeons says, “‘93 ‘Til Infinity achieves a rare feat: it is a beautiful song that doesn’t sound like what we think of when we typically discuss 'beautiful music’.”

This track samples the Billy Cobham track, “Heather” off of his 2nd album “Crosswinds”. A-Plus sped the sample up to ridiculous rates on most likely an SP-1200 (Many producers did this for jazz samples in the early 90’s because the SP-1200 sampler didn’t have much sample time).

During an interview with SPIN, the group’s A-Plus revealed the original title track was named differently.

The original song was called ‘91 'Til Infinity.’ We were in high school, just making songs, making demos, trying to get them to send out to people, and it was just a concept for a song. It had a whole different beat. We never really laid the song down, but we wrote verses. Time moved forward and we were working on the album, and we were like, ‘We should do a '92 'Til Infinity.’ But the album didn’t come out ‘til '93. So that was that. The other beat was slower, more somber, this was one was more upbeat.

“The Chronic Intro” welcomes the listeners to the sound of Death Row, as heavy basslines and Moog synthesizer sounds are mixed with samples from various sources while Snoop and Dre drop some disses towards Eazy-E and Jerry Heller from Dre’s former label, Ruthless Records.

Musician Colin Wolfe revealed how this track came together:

When the album was done, Dre said he needed an intro, I was like, ‘Cool, I got it!’ That became ‘The Chronic (Intro).’ I just came in with something because I knew what mood I was going for. Dre programmed the drums and I played all the instruments on the track.

Dr. Dre gives a shout out to the homies who supported him since he started making music and those who were down with Death Row Records from day one. This would include his stepbrother Warren G, his late half-brother Tyree Crayon, Snoop Dogg, and The D.O.C.

Dre might also be interpolating former N.W.A labelmate, Ice Cube’s 1990 track “I Gotta Say What Up!!!” that shared some similar lyrics:

This is dedicated to the niggas that was down since day one
Ice Cube in the motherfuckin' house
