A somber, cinematic masterpiece of Southern rap. Scarface trades bravado for a heavy, existential meditation on mortality and the psychological toll of the streets.

Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting, high-pitched synth melody on 'I Seen a Man Die' that sounds like a soul leaving a body.
The sheer, unbridled aggression of the opening verse on 'No Tears' where the beat drops with punishing weight.
The cinematic storytelling on 'The Diary' where the lyrics feel like a first-person camera move through a crime scene.
