Geto Boys

When the Geto Boys came together in 1986, though, it was with a completely different lineup. Formed as "The Ghetto Boys" in Houston by rap entrepreneur [a=James Smith]. The group originally consisted of [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/4844153-Thelton-Polk]Sir Rap-A-Lot[/url], [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Johnny+C+%282%29]Prince Johnny C.[/url], [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/2930832-Sire-Jukebox]The Slim Jukebox[/url], and [a=DJ Ready Red]. During 1987-1988, both Johnny C. and The Jukebox quit, forcing Smith to add a dwarf-dancer-turned-rapper named [a=Bushwick Bill] and two Rap-A-Lot solo acts: [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Scarface+%283%29]Scarface[/url] and [a=Willie D]. From then on they were known as "The Geto Boys". Members: [a=Raheem] (1986-1987) [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/4844153-Thelton-Polk]Sir Rap-A-Lot[/url] (1986-1987) [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Johnny+C+%282%29]Prince Johnny C.[/url] (1986-1988) [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/2930832-Sire-Jukebox]The Slim Jukebox[/url] (1986-1988) [a=DJ Ready Red] (1986-1990) [a=Bushwick Bill] (1986-2019) [a=Willie D] (1989-1992, 1996-present) [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Scarface+%283%29]Scarface[/url] (1989-present) [url=http://www.discogs.com/artist/Big+Mike+%283%29]Big Mike[/url] (1993-1994)
