SCARFACE Lyrics

Brad Jordan, better known by his stage name Scarface is an American rapper originally known for his work as a member of The Geto Boys. Scarface is known for his edgy and controversial lyrics that often consist of cursing, violence or expressing his discomfort concerning the police.

Scarface began his career as Akshen (pronounced Action) recording solo for Lil' Troy's Short Stop Records, a local label in Houston. He would go on to sign with Rap-A-Lot Records and join a group who were collectively known as Ghetto Boys replacing one member who left, later respelled Geto Boys, and released the groups second album Grip It! On That Other Level (1989), a highly successful LP that garnered the group a large fanbase, in spite of their violent lyrics keeping them far from radio and MTV. He is named after the 1983 movie title Scarface. He along with UGK (Bun B./Pimp C.) are credited with putting Houston Rap on the mainstream and led the way for a new wave of Houston rappers in the new millennium.

The album Mr. Scarface Is Back 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 2001 Source Awards.
