Scarface's Tiny Desk concert radiates with his decadeslong passion as an emcee and producer. There's calculated intent behind every word and note of this 30-minute set and I learned that his love for golf also runs deep during our initial meeting. He was playing a round and had difficulty dividing his attention between the plan and the course. Three days before the show, amid rehearsals, I got a call from Facemob asking, "What if I brought Mike Dean?" My expectations were already high, but that final addition set the stage for something special.
Mike Dean provided unmatched authenticity, and their shared stories added sentimental value to this performance. After all, his signature keys and synths can be heard on most of Scarface's classics and countless Rap-A-Lot records. Here, we get a rare glimpse of Scarface the conductor, bouncing through multiple eras of his catalog including "On My Block," "Mary Jane" and the bone-chilling "I Seen a Man Die."
Scarface, along with Rakim, was recently awarded the inaugural Hip-Hop Grandmaster Award from the newly launched Paid in Full Foundation, which includes a sizable financial prize and healthcare. No matter how the never-ending hip-hop greats debate is sliced, the rapper's place is cemented as one of the most influential storytellers in the culture and his Tiny Desk is proof.

I love how the Tiny Desk shows the world that true MC's are not just rappers, but well rounded Musicians that understand all aspects of music. Don't just put Hip Hop artist into one box.

Just about a year or so ago, we almost lost Face, thank God his son was able to provide that kidney. Normalize giving our icons their roses while they can still smell them. Normalize giving our legends their proper respect and credit. His music, his message, made it ok to feel, made it ok to go through changes mentally, made it okay to be human. Thank you for everything you have done to enrich this culture Brad Jordan aka Scarface. 💯💯👑👑🐐🐐

I helped prepare him for burial and this reminded me of that sacred moment. 🙏🏽
