Facemob is a gritty hip-hop group formed in the heartland of Houston, Texas, that emerged onto the Southern rap scene in the mid-1990s. The collective is anchored by veteran rapper Scarface, whose influence from his tenure with the Geto Boys helped shape Facemob's raw and unapologetic sound. Their music is characterized by its tough lyrical content and production that weaves together the sonic threads of the South's booming bass and soulful samples, reflecting the darker, more introspective corners of the urban experience.

The group made a significant impact with their debut album "The Other Side of the Law" in 1996, which pushed the boundaries of the gangsta rap genre with its deep narratives and socially conscious messages, wrapped in the hard-hitting instrumentals that defined the era's rap landscape. Their uncompromising approach to hip-hop earned them respect and recognition within the industry. Despite a modest commercial reception, the album remains a cult favorite among aficionados of Southern hip-hop. Facemob's continued influence and presence in the genre can be traced through their follow-up releases, including the "Screwed" version of their seminal album and the introspective tracks found in "Silence," showing their dedication to evolving their sound while staying true to their roots.
