Scarface has been working on his new album Deeply Rooted for a while now but looks like he’s finally ready to put it out.
In an interview with Rollingstone, the legendary rapper discussed dropping out of the recent Geto Boys tour after becoming ill and how he’s taking care of his health again.
He also reveals that his new album Deeply Rooted will hit stores September 4 via his own FaceMob Music imprint. It will feature collaborations with John Legend, Cee Lo Green, Avant, Nas and Rick Ross plus production from his longtime producers N.O. Joe and Mike Dean.
“I’m a musician, first and foremost,” he says. “I don’t feel like I have to fit in. I don’t even feel like I even should fit in. I feel like I should just do. . . My cousin, Johnny Nash, did not sound anything like Otis Redding, did he? And Otis Redding didn’t sound anything like Sam Cooke. Marvin Gaye didn’t sound nothing like Frankie Beverly. And Zapp didn’t sound anything like the Commodores. I said that to say this: any act that’s making music today, the day before, or tomorrow that is sounding like somebody else? They need to stop it. They need to get out of the game. Masta Ace said it best: ‘There’s a sign at the door, no bitin’ allowed.'”
