Scarface’s Tiny Desk Concert was hotly anticipated due to series producer DJ Cuzzin B hyping it as one of the best from any rapper.
“I just watched an edit of Scarface’s Tiny Desk. Yeah…. it’s the best hip-hop tiny desk we’ve ever put out. A new crown holder…. Monday,”

Scarface has brought some of his southern rap classics to life in an NPR Tiny Desk Concert.
For the much-anticipated performance, the Geto Boys legend brought on board his longtime producer and collaborator Mike Dean, as well as a live band and backing singers.
With Dean injecting his signature synths into several songs, Facemob performed stunning renditions of hits such as “On My Block,” “Mary Jane,” “I Seen a Man Die” and “Mind Mind Playing Tricks on Me.”
Full of heart and warmth, the Texas native paid tribute to 2Pac after performing their 1997 collaboration “Smile” and asked the intimate audience to “save a prayer” for the late rap legend.
He also made it a family affair, bringing out his son Bryce towards the end of the set and praising him as an “exceptional musician” who is “4,000 times better than I’ll ever be.”
Watch the performance below.
