NEWS: Geto Boys Celebrate Independence Day W/ Reunion Show, Scarface Prepping New Album

By Brandi Hopper

Southern Hip-Hop icons, the Geto Boys are reuniting tonight (July 4) in Houston for what will be the trio’s first live performance in at least three years.

Scarface, Willie D and Bushwick Bill will all be in the building, performing the group’s classics as well as some new material.

Though the three haven’t been buzzed about for a while as a click, group honcho Scarface has been keeping busy with a solo career. Face just came off tour for his Made album and is currently in the studio putting together his next release, Redemption, which is slated for a late August release.

The group made its debut in 1988 with 5th Ward Chronicles: Making Trouble, but didn’t garner much national attention until their third release We Can’t be Stopped. One of the album’s singles, “Mind Playin Tricks On Me,” peaked at No. 5 on the R&B/Hip-Hop charts. 

Tomorrow’s concert will also feature Huntzville, Shaka, Tay Tha Don and Juzcoz and will be emceed by Terry Grossman. The show will be held at Warehouse, 813 St. Emanuel St, with no age limit to get in. Doors open at 8 p.m. and tickets go for $25 to $50 and are available through Ticketmaster.
