After taking the meds, his fever 'kicks in' the following Thursday, sending him into confinement. Scarface then detailed how it started with an 'itch in my throat', so he called his doctor, who prescribed 'Z-pak (Zithromax) and some Prednisone'. To emphasize to the viewers just how serious coronavirus can be, Willie D asked his collaborator to explain 'the type of pressure this thing (Covid-19) has put on body', taking a swipe to people saying that celebrities are paid to spread fear about the outbreak.

When asked by Willie D what he has been doing now to stay safe, Scarface replied 'stay away from everybody', adding that Willie that he can't visit him now before sharing that even his family had to 'stay away from each other'. Scarface continued that it started with pneumonia in both of his lungs and 'three or four days later my kidneys fail' He added that later, about 'three or four days after that', he was placed under quarantine.

He said that results returned Wednesday evening, around 11:30, after a few weeks of treatment. The Atlanta rapper also described what it was like at the hospital he stayed at, saying that the rooms did not have toilets and likened it to a jailhouse. He further said that he has been to the point where he felt he was going to die. In the live streamed interview on Willie D's channel, Scarface detailed his experience battling the coronavirus, saying that 'this whole three weeks has been an ordeal.' Ready Red's production of the Geto Boys' 'Life in the Fast Lane' pays homage to '70s Houston soul and funk outfit Soul Bros Inc's classic instrumental 'Hot Pants.Houston rap icon Scarface, the co-founder of the Geto Boys, revealed that he tested positive for Covid-19 in an interview with his longtime groupmate Willie D, March 26. Ready Red, who maintains he left the Geto Boys over business reasons, produced many of the group's best early songs including the Superfly-inspired 'Do it Like a G.O.,' 'Mind of a Lunatic,' the Fifth Ward and Leatherface-inspired 'Assassins,' and 'Let a Ho be a Ho' (which samples the Honey Drippers' 'Impeach the President' and the cash-register sound effects in Pink Floyd's 'Money'). The second lineup consisting of DJ Ready Red (Collins Leysath), Prince Johnny C, Sire Juke Box and Little Billy - Bushwick Bill's first stage name, when he served more as a hype man and dancer - didn't last long beyond the Geto Boys' 1988 Making Trouble album. Sound and even aesthetically emulated the Hollis, Queens pioneers by wearing the requisite black fedoras, black clothes and ostentatious gold chains. Group members replicated the Larry Smith-produced Run-D.M.C. The second incarnation of the group functioned under the freshly minted Geto Boys name. Though the lyrics and personalities of the group - Bushwick Bill, Scarface and Willie D - are part of the public's cultural stream of consciousness, their distinctive sound should also be more known on a technical level than it is. Many groups and individual artists, working in numerous genres not just limited to hip-hop, have perhaps unwittingly and often knowingly prospered as a direct result of the group's distinctive style and ouevre. Within the context of music history, The Geto Boys have achieved rarely earned nonpareil status.

Their main thematic inspirations and references have included Brian DePalma's Scarface and the occasional horror-movie nemesis like Freddie Kruger, Friday the 13th's Jason or the less obviously stated Leatherface from Tobe Hooper's 1974 classic The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The founders of the hip-hop subgenre known as horrorcore created macabre street anthems linked inextricably to the horror movie-influenced, 'Helter Skelter'-style modus operandi of H-town's post-Scorsese version of Mean Streets. The Geto Boys are unequivocally one of the best and most famous musical groups to ever come out of Houston.
