Scarface has worked steadily through the years, dropping new records and cameos at a feverish pace.

Willie D released a solo LP in '00, and Bushwick Bill has put a few albums out as well. The original three got back together in '96 for The Resurrection. Former Convicts emcee Big Mike was added to the fold, and a revamped lineup continued to record. The core group split up in 1993, and all the members embarked on solo careers. Their 1991 release We Can't Be Stopped contained the breakthrough hit "Mind Playing Tricks On Me," a classic track about drug-induced paranoia. Fusing fierce production with ultra-hardcore rhymes that casually detailed lifestyles rife with drugs, sex, and murder, they found love in the new but fast-growing Gangsta Rap circuit. They began as the Ghetto Boys back in the mid-1980s, and released debut Grip It! On That Other Level in 1989.

While the lyrics may have seemed gruesome for the times, it was a large reflection of their reality - poverty-stricken neighborhoods that dealt with the devastation of the ongoing crack epidemic at the time, along with Reaganomics.A pioneering gangsta crew repping Houston's Fifth Ward, the Geto Boys were the first southern group to find national fame. Lyrically, "Grip It!" took horror and violence to a completely new level. This album played a huge role in the group's success despite it not receiving much praise until years after it was released.

The release of the album would go on to reach No.

While the album wasn't the group's hottest LP, the project helped introduce the group to the mainstream. The original group was scrapped after the first album received little attention, and would bring about who we know The Geto Boys to be today: a lineup of DJ Ready Red, Bushwick Bill, Scarface, and Willie D.
