Devin the dude pushes back his album release date to 4/20 . I am going to buy a big bag of dro and this cd and it will be a good day!
Originally slated for a February release, Devin’s new album Suite 420 has been rightfully moved to April 20th for release. Suite 420 will be the sixth studio release for the weed cherishing rapper, who also announced the album’s first single to be “What I Be On.”
While a tentative tracklist has not yet been revealed for the album, Devin recently confirmed with HipHopDx that Dr. Dre will be a producer for the album.
“I’m going out there [to work with Dre] tomorrow, man!” he exclaimed. “[His people are] saying this thing, [that] it’ll be a nice little shindig and everything’ll come out pretty cool. But I’m pretty sure he got some heat [for me to jump on]. And I just…man…I just try to make sure I’m up to par and have my stuff together when I go out there anytime to deal with him and what they’re doing over there [at Aftermath Entertainment]. ‘Cause they do it big, and their music sounds like it too when you’re in there. From top to bottom, from when you’re working on it to when it comes out, it sounds like [makes an explosion sound]. It sounds so big.”
This isn’t the first time Devin has recorded with Dr. Dre. Devin appeared on Dre’s “F*ck You,” which also featured Snoop Doogg and appeared on the Chronic 2001 album. The Houston rapper was also a part of Dre. and Snoop’s widely popular “Up In Smoke Tour.”
Joseph Wayne McVey, the rapper the streets know as Z-Ro, is in trouble again. The “King of the Ghetto” has a trial date next Monday at the Harris County Courthouse for felony drug possession, stemming from a February 2009 Harris County Sheriff’s bust. Police allege that McVey, 33, was in possession of a codeine mixture weighing more than 28 grams but less than 199 grams, including adulterants and dilutants.
This case came about two weeks after McVey was busted for misdemeanor pot possession and later found not guilty after taking the stand in his own defense at trial. “The jury believed him when he said he didn’t do it,” Robert Jones, McVey’s attorney, tells Hair Balls. “He’s a very honest, forthright person.”
However, the supremely talented rapper/singer was convicted in 2003 on another codeine charge, for which he eventually spent a couple of stints in prison after violating his probation. Another conviction could spell years behind bars.
Jones says his client is innocent of this charge. He says authorities found a bottle of pharmaceutical cough syrup in a bottle with someone else’s name on the prescription in the back seat of a car in which McVey was riding. Asked for what possible sanctions the rapper could be facing if convicted, Jones was unsure. And he thinks that after all is said is done, the prospect of punishment will be moot.
“Right now, the penalty has been enhanced, so I would have to look that up to see what exactly that is, but I anticipate that he is going to trial because he didn’t do anything, so the penalty is zero,” Jones laughs.
Though set for Monday, Jones anticipates that the trial will be delayed, as he says that DA has reindicted McVey for the same offense. “They’re trying to ramp up the charges and make him scared so he’ll take something,” he says. “It is nothing more than a form of intimidation. It doesn’t change the facts of the case at all.”
Jones knows little of his client’s musical exploits, but seems genuinely impressed with McVey the man. “Everybody who knows his music has told me that he is a purist,” Jones says. “And he’s just an honest, forthright person. If he did it, he’ll say he did it.”
And McVey is saying he didn’t do this….Let’s hope the jury agrees.

Geto Boys (originally spelled Ghetto Boys) is a hip hop group from Houston, Texas, consisting of Scarface, Willie D and Bushwick Bill. The original Ghetto Boys consisted of: Prince Johnny C, The Slim Jukebox, DJ Ready Red and Little Billy, the dancer who later came to be known as Bushwick Bill. The group released a mostly unheard of album titled Making Trouble. The group broke up shortly after and a new line-up was put together with the inclusion of Scarface and Willie D, both aspiring solo artists.
The Geto Boys earned notoriety for its transgressive lyrics which included gore, psychotic experiences, necrophilia and misogyny. Despite the explicit content of their songs, critic Alex Henderson argues that the group “comes across as much more heartfelt than the numerous gangsta rap…wannabes who jumped on the gangsta bandwagon in the early ’90s.”[1] The Geto Boys broke new ground with their soulful southern sound (a precursor to the Dirty South style).
History of Geto boys
The group’s 1990 album The Geto Boys caused Def American Recordings, the label to which the group was signed at the time, to switch distributors from Geffen Records to Warner Bros. Records (with marketing for the album done by WB sister label Giant Records) because of controversy over the graphic portrayal of rape, necrophilia, murder, explicit sex, cartoonish violence, and hostility toward women. The album, however, was actually a compilation, consisting mainly of ten tracks taken from its 1989 album Grip It! On That Other Level (most of them remixed), as well as two new songs and one song from its debut LP, Making Trouble.
In the early part of the decade, several American politicians attacked gangsta emcees, including the Geto Boys (most famously Ice-T and the N.W.A). A high-profile incident in which Bushwick Bill lost an eye in a shooting with his girlfriend helped boost sales of its third album, We Can’t Be Stopped. The album cover had a picture of the injured Bushwick being carted through a hospital by Scarface and Willie D. On the album’s title track, the group responded to Geffen Records ending its distribution deal with Def American. “Mind Playing Tricks on Me” became a hit in the hip-hop community.
All three members began solo careers, but Willie D. was the only one who actually left the group. Scarface and Bushwick Bill continued with the Geto Boys, adding Big Mike for Till Death Do Us Part in 1993. Although Till Death Do Us Part was certified gold it was not as well received by fans, as the lyrically gifted shoes of Willie D who also wrote for Bushwick, proved too big to fill for Big Mike. Subsequently, Big Mike was dropped and Willie D returned for 1996’s critically acclaimedThe Resurrection and 1998’s Da Good Da Bad & Da Ugly which Bushwick was not a part of. After years on hiatus, the group reunited to released its seventh album, The Foundation, in 2005. The Geto Boys were featured on Scarface’s My Homies Part 2 album.
The Geto Boys’ popularity was boosted somewhat in 1999 by the prominent use of two songs—”Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta” (original, later released as a single on vinyl) and “Still” (from The Resurrection)—in Mike Judge’s film Office Space, now considered a cult classic. The song “Mind of a Lunatic” has been covered by many recording acts including Marilyn Manson in 2003, as a b-side off the album The Golden Age of Grotesque.
The single “Damn it Feels Good to Be a Gangsta” has also been covered by the band Aqueduct and country singer Carter Falco. [2] The song “Street Life” from the album Till Death Do Us Part was featured on the motion picture South Central. A video clip for the song with footage from the film was released. [3]
The band did a rare performance as a reunion at the Smoke Out festival in San Bernardino, CA on October 23rd, 2009. [4] The Geto Boys are credited as the group who put the south on the hip hop music map’ and inspired a legion of acts including 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., UGK, TI, Goodie Mobb, Outkast, Chamillionaire, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, Mystikal and others.
The group’s name, Geto Boys, comes from a deliberate misspelling of the word Ghetto. For its first album 5th Ward Chronicles: Making Trouble (1988) and its second, Grip It! On That Other Level (1989), the spelling was the English standard “Ghetto Boys”. For its third album, The Geto Boys, they changed it to the “Geto” spelling, which the group has used since.
This might still be my favorite houston hip hop song of all time.
Geto Boys Mind Playin Tricks On Me Lyrics
Intro: scarface
I sit alone in my four-cornered room
Staring at candles
Oh that shit is on? heh
Let me drop some shit like this here
Real smooth
Verse one: scarface
At night I can’t sleep, I toss and turn
Candle sticks in the dark, visions of bodies being burned
Four walls just staring at a nigga
I’m paranoid, sleeping with my finger on the trigger
My mother’s always stressing I ain’t living right
But I ain’t going out without a fight
See, everytime my eyes close
I start sweatin, and blood starts comin out my nose
It’s somebody watchin’ the ak’
But I don’t know who it is, so I’m watchin my back
I can see him when I’m deep in the covers
When I awake I don’t see the motherfucker
He owns a black hat like I own
A black suit and a cane like my own
Some might say “take a chill, b”
But fuck that shit, there’s a nigga trying to kill me
I’m pumping in the clip when the wind blows
Every twenty seconds got me peeping out my window
Investigating the joint for traps
Checking my telephone for taps
I’m staring at the woman on the corner
It’s fucked up when your mind is playing tricks on you
Verse two: willie d
I make big money, I drive big cars
Everybody know me, it’s like I’m a movie star
But late at night, somethin ain’t right
I feel I’m being tailed by the same sucker’s head lights
Is it that fool that I ran off the block
Or is it that nigga last week that I shot
Or is it the one I beat for five thousand dollars
Thought he had ‘caine but it was gold medal flour
Reach under my seat, grabbed my popper for the suckers
Ain’t no use to be lying, I was scareder than a motherfucker
But they’re laughing at pow pies and buried that quick
If it’s going down let’s get this shit over with
Here they come, just like I figured
I got my hand on the motherfucking trigger
What I saw’ll make your ass start giggling
Three black, crippled and crazy senior citizens
I live by the sword
I take my boys everywhere I go
Because I’m paranoid
I keep looking over my shoulder and peeping around corners
My mind is playing tricks on me
Verse three: scarface
Day by day it’s more impossible to cope
I feel like I’m the one that’s doing dope
Can’t keep a steady hand because I’m nervous
Every sunday morning I’m in service
Playing for forgiveness
And trying to find an exit out of the business
I know the lord is looking at me
But yet and still it’s hard for me to feel happy
I often drift while I drive
Havin fatal thoughts of suicide
Bang and get it over with
And then I’m worry-free, but that’s bullshit
I got a little boy to look after
And if I died then my child would be a bastard
I had a woman down with me
But to me it seemed like she was down to get me
She helped me out in this shit
But to me she was just another bitch
Now she’s back with her mother
Now I’m realizing that I love her
Now I’m feeling lonely
My mind is playing tricks on me
Verse four: bushwick bill
This year halloween fell on a weekend
Me and geto boyz are trick-or-treating
Robbing little kids for bags
Till an old man got behind our ass
So we speeded up the pace
Took a look back and he was right before our face
We’d be in for a squab’ no doubt
So I swung and hit the nigga in his mouth
He was going down, we figured
But this was no ordinary nigga
He stood about six or seven feet
Now, that’s the nigga I’d been seeing in my sleep
So we triple-teamed on him
Dropping them motherfuckin b’s on him
The more I swung the more blood flew
Then he disappeared and my boys disappeared, too
Then I felt just like a fiend
It wasn’t even close to halloween
It was dark as fuck on the streets
My hands were all bloody from punching on the concrete
God damn, homie
My mind is playing tricks on me
