Scarface sat down for an incredible Tiny Desk Concert, and it gets all the praise. But it should be expected, given that the legendary Houston rapper is a legitimate music icon with a catalog to match.
You knew things were going to be special when Facemob commented that Backyard, an equally legendary Go-Go band from Washington, DC, would be supporting his performance. Face had some of the biggest hits of his catalog starting with “My Block” and including songs like “Smile”, “I Seen A Man Die” and of course the Geto Boys classic “Minds Playing Tricks On Me” .
NPR also reports that during rehearsals Face brought in producer Mike Dean (who played on the original tracks) to handle keyboard work. The performance, which also featured Face picking up a guitar, was full of passion as he strummed his bar classics while leading his talented musical entourage.
