Geto Boys: Southern Discomfort
Dele Fadele, NME, 25 May 1996
Deep in the heart of the redneck Bible Belt, squillion-selling rap supergroup GETO BOYS are living up to their paranoid bad-boy reputation. Bushwick Bill has done a runner, Willie D thinks NME is out to crucify him, and Scarface has just declared that he's looking forward to dying. DELE FADELE kicks back and enjoys that famous southern hospitality.
