Scarface is probably one of the most influential hip-hop artists from the south. He's one-third of the classic hip-hop group, The Geto Boys, who have one best hip-hop Halloween hits in 'My Mind IS Playing Tricks On Me'. His lyrical content and deep raspy voice emote a multitude of feelings that most listeners and fans eventually can feel and relate to themselves, which is a rare trait most musicians possess.
His solo works could be considered underappreciated but his skill set and ability to stay in pocket while rapping makes him another one of those figures many would call a rapper's rapper. He's an industry favorite and the recent unveiling of his battles with mental health has only brought the culture forward in support of the Houston legend. His 2015 autobiography, Diary of a Madman, has opened another avenue for the rapper to tell his story that makes him all the more worthy of praise and respect.
