Scarface Says Next Album Is Definitely His Last

Legendary southern rapper Scarface, one of the founding members of the Geto Boys, revealed recently that his upcoming album, Emeritus, will be his last as a solo artist.

However, he made it clear that it's not a "retirement." Instead, he says he's simply "quitting."

"I don't retire, I quit," Scarface told MTV for the Mixtape Mondays column. "It feels real good. The Emeritus record, the reason I'm so proud of it is because it's my last. I'm done, man. If you leave it up to me, I quit."

While Face says that this is really his last outing, but did leave a window open, saying that if he's given the opportunity, he would return for a collabo album with Cube, Nas, or Jay-Z.

"Only thing that's gonna bring me back [is] if I do an album with somebody. Me, Cube and Nas do something, or me and Jigga and Beans do something. It's gotta be a trio or duo. Me and Bun B do a duo. That's why I took that name Emeritus, dude. Because I'm gone. I'm retiring with honors and still holding the position," he explained.

And he means it when he says "still holding the position." According to Face, he's going out on top.

"I'm not just one of the best in Houston, I'm one of the best in the world," the rapper said. "My mama had to bring that to my attention. I think she's been on the Internet. She's been reading how good I am. I didn't realize how good I am until my mama told me."

The album itself is said to include features from Bun B, Lil Wayne, and J. Prince who does the intro.

It is slated for release December 2.
