Scarface has been to hell and back. The legendary Houston rapper was grappling with anxiety and mental illness as far back as the early 1990s--not just on the Geto Boys' seminal "Mind Playing Tricks On Me," but as the emotional center of his early masterpiece, The Diary. Earlier this year, he published Diary of a Madman, his critically acclaimed memoir that opened up about the kinds of turmoil that have gone on between his ears. But on "God," his new single from the forthcoming Deeply Rooted, he zooms out. The John Legend-featuring cut finds Face putting himself in the Almighty's shoes, putting forth a campaign platform of sorts for what he would do with absolute power. Listen to his collaboration with the Academy Award winner below. After that, check out his interview with The Breakfast Club, where he announces that the planned Geto Boys reunion won't be going down after all.
