The Foundation

Geto Boys

A mature, paranoid reunion record from Houston's finest. Soulful production meets weary, sharp-edged commentary on the feds, the system, and the streets.

January 25, 2005 · Rap-A-Lot 4 Life

Find on Amazon

A heavy, paranoid atmosphere of veteran defiance against a corrupt system.

Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting soul loop on G Code that underscores Scarface's weary verses about federal surveillance.
Bushwick Bill's manic laughter during the Outro as he mocks a military draft notice.
The transition from the politically charged Intro into the aggressive, unified front of Declaration of War.

Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.

How does The Foundation sound next to the rest of Geto Boys's catalogue?

Drums+1.3σ

The instrumentation foregrounds drums notably more than the catalogue usually does.
