The Geto Boys are reuniting for their ninth studio album.
“We’ve done some shows in the last year or so, so we know what we’re doing,” Geto Boys member Willie D says to Rolling Stone. “We know what the fans wanna hear. We got it pretty tight.”
The album, titled Habeas Corpus, will not be released by long-time recording home Rap-A-Lot, but the trio is seeking to fund the album through Kickstarter. The group hopes that incentives ranging from autographs and T-shirts to a golf outing with Scarface and a custom Geto Boys casket will get fans engaged in the project. They are seeking $100,000. The fundraiser is open until July 15.
“I’d like to take credit, but the fans really made it happen,” Willie D says. “It’s hard to get all of us on the same page, ’cause everybody’s always doing their own thing. We are three totally different people.”
Willie D explains that there is still tension between all three members –Scarface, Bushwick Bill and himself – calling their relationships “volatile.”
“We fuckin’ hate each other, man,” he says. “The Geto Boys, man, we’re that family that can’t stand each other, but love each other. That’s us. Family’s family, man. ‘I can’t stand that motherfucker. I wanna kill him.’ Yeah man, but you can’t do that do your family.”
Where is the oompa loompa? He moonlights at Charlie’s chocolate factory for extra dough is what i hear
Willie D 5 years ago claimed to be a successful commercial developer in Azerbaijan. Scarface claimed to be filthy rich from his rap career and stint at Def Jam south. now here we are, they are asking for Charity so they can do an album just to eat. Brad maybe that psychiatrist was right about you as a kid.
Charity? I’m not sure you know what crowd-funding is about. Plus why the heck would they spend their own money and take the inherent risks when the fans are willing to finance it in advance?
You can’t be that ignorant? Really….who do you think profits if they go through a company, and who do you think profits if they get it funded. Try an economics class homie
Can’t wait.
LOL WATCH J PRINCE APPROACH THEM AND SAY, I OWN YALL NIGGAZ. LEGALLY J PRINCE OWNS THE GETO BOYS NAME SO HE WILL GET A PIECE OF THE PIE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. OR HE CAN TELL THEM, ILL DONATE THE 100 BANDS AND AN EXTRA 50 BUT PUT IT OUT THROUGH RAP-A-LOT. iT CAN GO EITHER WAY
J prince deserve everything he get it takes a strong man to stay on top of the game as long as he did and still runs the south so don’t forget it. He put the south hip hop on the map . And the man is a mf icon so give respect where it’s deserve. Because if it’s wasn’t for Rap a lot none of these rappers in the south would of been heard. This is knowledge. . From waco.. Rap a lot for life.
Hell yea, hell yea
thought ‘Face just said there will “never” be another Geto boys album. Fuck it either way I’ll check it out. Geto Boys are part of my hip hop upbringing.
Want that Scarface album first tbh.
so sign 100%
shiiiit get it started I’m ready to fund this!
damn I just put my $45 pledge up on Kickstarter! Let’s do this! I wonder what the tension is though? It must’ve been behind some money though.
They’ve been hating each other for a long time. I believe ‘Face addresses it in his new book.
Imma support the GB, but i am curious can J Prince stop this project
