As one of the masterminds behind “Mind Playing Tricks On Me,” Scarface established himself as an undisputed Houston Hip Hop legend decades ago.
On June 26, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner and Councilman Dwight Boykins held a special ceremony to honor the Geto Boys MC (real name Brad Jordan) with his own day, the appropriately titled “Scarface Day.”
In a video captured by Click2Houston, Scarface told the crowd, “You know me as Scarface, but now you get the opportunity to meet Brad Jordan. I’ve done a lot of music, you know. I’ve done a lot of speaking of social … words that take place in our community. That Scarface has turned into Brad Jordan.
“I really want to let y’all know that I’m getting ready to make a super impact in the community because that’s the most important thing to me right now. That’s my passion. To make sure everybody is treated equally. To make sure we get equal justice. To make sure that everybody is on the same level playing field.”
Nearly 30 years in, Scarface is still turning out new material. After dropping 2015’s Deeply Rooted, he returned with Deeply Rooted: The Lost Files last year.

Just call him Mr. Scarface
Brad Jordan still the truth in the booth 30 years in for me. Glad to see dudes I used to listen to in 6th and 7th grade still around doing their thing and not washed up.
That’s awesome. Face always been in my top 3, beautiful story teller and his lyrics always been honest.
I am making $89/hour telecommuting.

I happy the Mayor of Houston announced a Scarface Day it’s good for the Hip Hop Culture and Geto Boyz are the Run DMC of the south meaning a legendary hip hop group that’s in my top 5 of greatest hip hop groups of all time and when Scarface as CEO of Def Jam South got discontinue and relaunched with DJ Khale and went sideway It was a blow to hip hop because the possibility was endless coming in the game with DTP but before them and Def Jam South Scarface helped Artists like Big Mike , Face Mobb and many more . I’m ready to come to Houston for Scarface Day will Beyonce have a float In The parade ?
Better late than never.
Of course the mayor was black ctfu
