Biography
Originally from Denver, Colorado, A-Plus was born to Jamaican immigrant parents and relocated to Oakland, California when he was five years old. During kindergarten, he became acquainted with Casual, who would later join Hieroglyphics, and met Tajai, another future Souls of Mischief member, in elementary school. Tajai introduced him to Phesto and Opio, thereby finalizing the Souls of Mischief group during their high school years. Their first album, 93 'til Infinity, was released in 1993 under Jive Records.
A-Plus has been involved in all four albums by Souls of Mischief as well as two studio albums by Hieroglyphics. Additionally, he has contributed production and performances on solo works by other members within the Hieroglyphics collective.
In 2005, he issued a remix collection titled Pleemix, Vol. 1 through Hieroglyphics Imperium Recordings. His first solo full-length record, My Last Good Deed, was released on May 1, 2007.
