The Best Of Scarface [PA]

Performer: Scarface
Distributor: WEA (Distributor)

Notes: Mr. Scarface did for Houston what Kool G Rap did for New York and Ice Cube did for L.A. Since he laid the foundation for the gangsta rap genre as part of the Geto Boys, there is little in the hip-hop game that Brad Jordan hasn't done. As the first southerner to claim the Source's "Lyricist of the Year" award, and as president of Def Jam South, producer, and solo artist supreme, Scarface developed the hardcore sound in the Dirty South years before anyone had ever heard of Outkast. THE BEST OF SCARFACE surveys his solo career with 37 hot tracks on three CDs.

A member of famed Houston gangsta rap group the Geto Boys, Scarface is one of the most respected southern MCs of all time. As a solo artist, he is by far the most successful member of the Geto Boys and is often credited with bringing southern hip-hop, and the Houston scene in particular, out of the underground and into the mainstream. In the early 2000s, Scarface claimed that he was retiring from the solo MC game, but stated that he would continue to work with the Geto Boys and record and produce for other artists.
