The Geto Boys

Geto Boys

A brutal, paranoid pivot point for Southern rap. Gritty boom-bap production meets psychological horror and unfiltered street reportage.

Find on Amazon

The album that made Southern rap too scary for the mainstream to ignore.

Relentless, confrontational energy with moments of exhausted tenderness and deep paranoia.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The chillingly calm delivery of Scarface on 'Mind of a Lunatic' as he describes a psychological break.
The explosive, high-speed trade-off between Willie D and Bushwick Bill on 'Do It Like a G.O.'
The haunting interpolation of 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing' twisted into a drug-dealing anthem on 'City Under Siege'.
