GETO BOYS



The Geto Boys are a rap group from Houston, Texas, consisting of Scarface, Willie D and Bushwick Bill. They are known for ultra-violent lyrical content and socially conscious messages.Influenced by Run DMC and N.W.A., The Geto Boys earned noteriety for their lyrics dealing with violence, sex and death. Despite the explicit content of their songs, critic Alex Henderson argues that the group "comes across as much more heartfelt than the numerous gangsta rap ... wannabes who jumped on the gangsta bandwagon in the early '90s."[1] The Geto Boys broke new ground with their soulful southern sound (perhaps a precursor to the Dirty South style), which was produced by people like Johnny C, Doug King, their DJ Ready Red, and later John Bido (producer) N.O. Joe and Mike Dean. http://virginrecords.com/geto_boys/home.html
