Scarface was always, unquestionably, the leader of the Geto Boys. But Bushwick Bill, who was born with dwarfism, was a crucial member of the group, providing a much-needed frenetic to contrast Face's contemplative nature. He appeared on seven out of eight Geto Boys albums, and released a number of solo albums (including Little Big Man, which features his classic song "Ever Clear so Clear.")
