On this day in Hip-Hop history, Geto Boys frontman and Texas legend Scarface released his fourth solo album, The Untouchable. Dropped under Rap-A-Lot Records, the album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and held the top spot on the Top Hip-Hop/R&B chart for two weeks.
While Scarface stayed true to his signature hardcore style, The Untouchable showcased clear influences from the G-Funk sound popularized by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Tha Dogg Pound.
The album’s standout track, “Smile” featuring 2Pac, was released shortly after Pac’s passing and became a powerful tribute, peaking at #12 on the Billboard Hot 100.
