Geto Boys (originally spelled Ghetto Boys) is a hip hop group from Houston, Texas, consisting of [[Scarface (Musicband)|Scarface]], [[Willie D]] and [[Bushwick Bill]]. The original Ghetto Boys consisted of: Prince Johnny C, Sire Jukebox, DJ Ready Red and Little Billy, the dancer who later came to be known as Bushwick Bill. The group released a mostly unheard of album titled Making Trouble. The group broke up shortly after and a new line-up was put together with the inclusion of Scarface and Willie D, both aspiring solo artists.
 
The Geto Boys earned notoriety for its transgressive lyrics which included gore, psychotic experiences, necrophilia and misogyny, shaping [[Gangsta Rap]] and pretty much inventing [[Horrorcore]]. Despite the explicit content of their songs, critic Alex Henderson argues that the group "comes across as much more heartfelt than the numerous gangsta rap...wannabes who jumped on the gangsta bandwagon in the early ?90s." The Geto Boys broke new ground with their soulful southern sound (a precursor to the Dirty South style).
