Scarface
The Fix
Album · Hip-Hop/Rap · 2002 · Def Jam Recordings
Scarface’s seventh album—and first as the head of Def Jam South—pairs his poignant gangster storytelling with exquisite beats from some of the most esteemed producers of early-‘00s hip-hop. East Coast influences creep into the former Geto Boy’s Southern-gothic style on “Guess Who’s Back,” with cocky verses from JAŸ-Z and Beanie Sigel, as well as a classic production from Kanye West. Featuring narratives that are richer than ever, “On My Block” is a nostalgic, piano-driven homage to the streets of Houston’s south side.
