Top Comments of this video!! :3
Scarface was legit certified 51/50 as a teenager. Tried to kill himself because he didn't like how he looked and was thrown in an insane asylum. His first album solo album "Mr Scarface is Back" is a masterpiece where he basically focuses all that manic depression into gangster stories. Mike Dean started out as a session musician for Rap A Lot records as well as an engineer/mixer. 94 is when he started to fully establish himself as a producer most notably on Scarface's The Diary.

Scanning the comments, I haven’t seen it mentioned, but this session is made even more special (and feels so fortunate) when we realize that Scarface dealt with serious health issues in recent years. So thankful we still have him!
Also if you’re new to Smile and Mary Jane, the videos for those songs capture their vibes perfectly. Definitely worth watching.

Mike Dean started his career working with Scarface, doing co production and keys. Their music relationship goes back to 93 I believe. Scarface is also a producer as well, that's why they have such good chemistry. Side note: Scarface was 2Pac's favorite rapper, and his cadence was heavily influenced by Scarface, that's where the similarities come from.

Scarface's Tiny Desk featured 3 legends. First, Scarface himself...shout out to Face and H-Town! This took me back to my college years in Texas back in the 90s. Second, the Back Yard Band...shout out to the BYB --representing the DMV--arguably the baddest go-go band around--holding down Face w/ Mike Dean--a legend in his own right. I really enjoyed this one, fellas...keep up the good work!

These are old school classics . I grew up in Houston, and yah Scarface is every rapper’s favorite rapper. Great lyrics , word play and story telling ..Way ahead of his time and can still do it.Glad he made it past his health scare . Can’t wait for you to cover more H-town legends . I see that DJ Screw poster in the background ❤

The fact that you cannot tell whether the songs are new or not tells you how timeless that Scarface music is.
