Background
Following the short-lived reunion of the group's three core members, Scarface, Willie D and Bushwick Bill, for 1996's acclaimed The Resurrection album, Bushwick left to pursue a solo career, leaving Scarface and Willie D to continue on as a duo. Unlike past Geto Boys albums, this one has a guest rapper on nearly every track. Following the release of Da Good da Bad & da Ugly, the group split up for solo careers, until returning over six years later (with Bushwick Bill) with the reunion album The Foundation.
