February 17th – The Geto Boys release their debut album “Makin’ Trouble” on Rap-A-Lot Records, on this day in 1984.

The original line-up of the group consisted of Bushwick Bill, DJ Ready Red, Sire Jukebox and Prince Johnny C.

After the release of “Makin’ Trouble”, the label dropped Sire Jukebox and Prince Johnny C from the group and added Scarface and Willie D who along with Bushwick Bill and DJ Ready Red would become the new Geto Boys, with Ready Red eventually leaving the group.

The track “Assassins” would be covered by Insane Clown Posse 10 years later on their album “The Amazing Jeckel Brothers.”
