Scarface is set to hit the road this spring for a month-long tour across the United States following a recent uptick in his reputation as a live performer.
Last year, the Geto Boys MC performed six of his most beloved songs during an appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series. The performance garnered widespread praise from the Hip Hop community and beyond, and the veteran rapper seems to have taken notice of it.

On Wednesday (February 14), Elliott Wilson announced the Brad “Scarface” Jordan Behind The Desk Experience. The 25-day tour will commence in Miami, FL on March 10 and run for a little over a month, with the final show scheduled for Charlotte, NC on April 14.
While the exact details of the trek are unclear, its title suggests it is clearly influenced by his NPR appearance. Tickets for the tour are available here.
Soon after his Tiny Desk Concert, the 53-year-old spitter revealed that it was important to him for a very specific reason.
“Let me tell you why this Tiny Desk was such a moment for me,” he said soon after the set. “Because Mike Dean actually played the parts in the [original] songs, so he knows the parts. You don’t have to teach him the parts, because those parts came from him.”
The record producer and Joseph “N.O. Joe” Johnson helped create the sound of Southern rap during the 1990s with their work on the Rap-A-Lot Records label.
The Texas native, whose first credited work with Scarface was on 1993’s The World Is Yours, refused to take too much credit for his musical contributions to the rapper’s sound.

“Face is the one that was directing me and [N.O.] Joe all the time what he wanted,” he said.
