- After signing with Rap-A-Lot Records, Scarface (known as DJ Akshen in 1988 or 1989) was originally going to be a solo artist, until James A. Prince decided to have him, DJ Ready Red, and Willie D (who released his first album, "Controversy," in 1989), as the replacement members of the Geto Boys. The Ghetto Boys (before the spelling change in 1990) consisted of Johnny C, Jukebox, and Raheem. DJ Ready Red later joined the group, after one of the founders left early, and Bushwick Bill, at the time of the group's founding in 1987, was originally the group's stage dancer. It is believed that Jukebox, one of the original Ghetto Boys, was convicted of assault and sentenced to prison, which might have prompted Willie D, Scarface, DJ Ready Red, and Bushwick Bill to be the second incarnation of the Geto Boys.
