Accurate Scarface Lyrics

Scarface

Brad Terrance Jordan, better known by his stage name Scarface (born November 9, 1970 in Newark, New Jersey) is a rapper from the South Acres neighborhood of Houston, Texas. He was an early member of the Southern rap group The Geto Boys and still maintains ties with them, though he has been a solo artist since 1991.

Originally known for his work as a member of The Geto Boys, he has been a solo artist since 1991, becoming one of the most popular southern rappers in the business. Recording as Akshen (pronounced action), he began his career recording solo for Rap-A-Lot Records, a local label in Houston. In the late 1980s, he joined the Geto Boys as they were forming and released We Can't Be Stopped, a highly successful LP that garnered the group a large fanbase, in spite of their ultra-violent lyrics keeping them far from radio and MTV.

Akshen changed his name to Scarface (he even changed his flow from a rapid-fire Kool G Rap-like delivery to normal flow, this time with a darker tone), after the film Scarface, saying he felt that the main character of the movie was just like him in many ways. Soon he released his debut solo album, Mr. Scarface Is Back. The album was a success, and Scarface's popularity soon overshadowed the other Geto Boys. Scarface remained in the group while releasing a series of solo albums that kept him in the public view with increasing sales. This peaked with 2000s The Last of a Dying Breed, which received overwhelmingly positive reviews and sales, and earned him Lyricist of the Year at the Source Awards. In 2002 he released The Fix, the critically acclaimed follow up to The Last of a Dying Breed and returned to the studio with the Geto Boys for their latest album, The Foundation. He has done collaborations with such artists as Jay-Z, Master P, Jadakiss, Faith Evans, Chamillionaire, 2Pac, Nas, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, Lloyd Banks, Beanie Sigel, Young Jeezy, Too Short, Bun B, Raekwon, and Gang Starr. He is known for his sometimes unique and exaggerated voice and rapping technique. He was also featured on The Biggie Duets alongside Big Gee and Akon.

In addition to his prolific career as a lyricist, Scarface has also been the coordinator and president of Def Jam South since 2002, where he has fostered the career of popular rapper Ludacris, whom he originally signed to the label.

In a recent interview, Scarface says he'll never record solo material again. He has stated that his last official album according to him was The Fix which was released in 2002. Scarface is now planning on production, he has been tapped to produce on the upcoming UGK album titled Underground Kingz.

Scarface has influenced many of the game's rappers including 2pac who in an interview once mentioned how he was really feeling the message and delivery of Scarface's The Diary and credited it as an inspiration for his work.
