Rakim has dropped a hint that he may make a record with Scarface, and now everyone wants in on the action — including legendary producer Pete Rock.
In an Instagram post on Monday (November 18), Ra shared a photo of himself and the Geto Boys leader together in the Bahamas.
He captioned the photo — unclear how seriously — “Who wants this album!!!”

A number of high-profile Hip Hop personalities — Kxng Crooked, Kid Capri, Torae, Lord Finesse, Ant Banks and more — all seemed thrilled at the possibility. But Pete Rock had one very specific request: bring him on board to provide the music.
“Well I’m still alive doing what I’m supposed to do,” he wrote. “I still exist so utilize me cuz not everyone has the passion and fire and knowledge of music to know how to make yall sound good.
“People will want this album with the right type of music to make it interesting. Not everyone got it still. Yeah i said it.”
Scarface’s trip to the Bahamas seems to indicate that he’s still in good health following a major health scare earlier this year.
Just last month, the Houston legend gave fans a promising update on his health after undergoing open heart surgery.
The Geto Boys legend reflected on his recent health issues in an Instagram post on October 8, expressing his gratitude for making a full recovery while revealing the surgery “could’ve [gone] either way.”
“6wks ago I underwent open heart surgery, to be upright and smiling today shows you that God aint nothing to play with,” he wrote alongside a photo of him looking both happy and dapper at the Grandmaster Awards in Las Vegas the prior weekend, where he and the Paid in Full Foundation honored fellow Hip Hop pioneers Kool Moe Dee, Grandmaster Caz and Roxanne Shanté.
Face Mob added: “Again I say, I’m grateful, it could’ve went either way, yet I’m still alive.”
Scarface alerted fans to his health scare in August, posting a photo on Instagram of him lying in a hospital bed with a number of tubes and wires attached to his body.
The veteran rapper didn’t disclose what caused him to be hospitalized, only writing in the caption: “Ouch… [three prayer hands emojis] Grateful.”
