theboombox.com A-Plus told '' XXL'' that he created the song, originally titled "91 'til Infinity", when the group was still in high school. He indicated that the song was originally a "slower, more somber beat" and that it was emotional after writing and rapping to the group members. The name was changed to 93 'til Infinity after Souls of Mischief got a record deal in 1992 but knew the song wouldn't be released until 1993. A-Plus went on to say that he originally gave the beat to Pep Love and then took it back when they began working on their debut studio album.Souls Of Mischief Break Down The Making Of “93 ‘Til Infinity” - XXL
