The Foundation

Geto Boys

A mature, paranoid reunion record from Houston's finest. Soulful production meets weary, sharp-edged commentary on the feds, the system, and the streets.

Find on Amazon

It's the Geto Boys grown up, fed up, and convinced the feds are tapping their phones.

A heavy, paranoid atmosphere of veteran defiance against a corrupt system.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The haunting soul loop on G Code that underscores Scarface's weary verses about federal surveillance.
Bushwick Bill's manic laughter during the Outro as he mocks a military draft notice.
The transition from the politically charged Intro into the aggressive, unified front of Declaration of War.
