50 Years of Hip-Hop - 1991: "Mind Playing Tricks on Me" by Geto Boys

Martin Douglas revisits 1991 with the track “Mind Playing Tricks on Me” by Geto Boys. The rise of Scarface isn’t just a tale about a legendary rapper. It’s also a tale of how he (and so many other rappers) relied on hip-hop to find solidarity and confront a traumatic way of life. 

Written by Martin Douglas.
