Scarface, a member of the Geto Boys, went solo, and made this. This doesn't sound like what he made with the Geto Boys, so if that's what you're expecting with this, then you're expecting the wrong thing. The other 2 Geto Boys went on to pursue solo careers as well, but they didn't do very well, Scarface on the other hand, did do very well. As a matter of fact, this album has no guest appearances whatsoever, but yet, it still got critically acclaimed.When you listen to a Geto Boys album, you will hear cartoonish, and humorous violence. With this album, you will find violence, but more detailed, serious, and realistic violence, as opposed to humorous violence. Now for the track by track review.
