Houston, TX legend
Scarface’s record label Underground Railroad is preparing to release the debut
album from the rapper’s latest discovery, Killeen-based seven-man collective known
as Green City. The
group’s album Brand New Money is the second album from Scarface’s Underground
Railroad imprint, coming on the heels of the label’s first album by The Product.
Scarface,
born Brad Jordan, discovered Green City while he was working out in his local
gym. Green City consists of 7 members – Spark Dawg, Mike Hee, Yung Texxus (Killeen/Dover,
DE), MJ, J. Scott, Big S#### and G-Ni.Two
pro-boxers in the gym that day attended high school with members of Green City
and happened to be working out to the group’s music.When
Scarface asked the boxers who they were listening to, he was shocked to find out
that the group didn’t have a deal and attempted to sign Green City on the spot.
“I
am the best in the business when it comes to finding raw talent," Scarface
said. "I brought Chamillionaire, Paul Wall, Lil’ Flip and TI to Def Jam,
but they didn’t bite. I end up going to Killeen TX and found Green City. They
are on some different s###, something you’ve never heard before. I stepped out
of the box for Green City cause they bring a new flavor, they just do what they
do."According
to Scarface, Green City’s first single “Like A P### Star (Party like a Rock
Star)" featuring Mannie Fresh sums up the group philosophy. "They
party 24-7, for them it’s just a big ass party, but they get things done,"
Scarface said. "They have the best presentation I have ever seen for a group
trying to get signed, people have been sleeping on Green City. They are young
and I don’t want anyone I need to baby-sit, but they don’t need a babysitter."The
name Green City is slang that represents money, as well as the group’s extended
family, which features over 50 group members. "It’s
surreal that we’re working with him – he is our hero, and a legend in all of our
eyes," group member Spark Dawg said. "No other person in Texas or even
the South can give you such a big co-sign other than Face. We can’t lose with
him backing us up/having our back, we are blessed to be working with him.”
