Da Good da Bad & da Ugly is the sixth studio album by American hip-hop group Geto Boys. It was released on November 17, 1998, through Rap-A-Lot/Virgin Records. Recording sessions took place at Hippie House Studios in Houston. Production was handled by Mike Dean, Mr. Lee, Scarface, Tone Capone, Hurt-M-Badd, Jay Sinnusta, John "Swift" Catalon and N.O. Joe. It features guest appearances from DMG, Dorasel, Outlawz, Yukmouth, 007, Caine, Devin the Dude, Ghetto Twiinz, Gorilla Click, Gotti, K.B., Madd Dogg and Tela.

The album peaked at number 26 on the Billboard 200 and number 5 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts in the United States.

Background

[edit]

Following the short-lived reunion of the group's three core members, Scarface, Willie D and Bushwick Bill, for 1996's acclaimed The Resurrection album, Bushwick left to pursue a solo career, leaving Scarface and Willie D to continue on as a duo. Unlike past Geto Boys albums, this one has a guest rapper on nearly every track. Following the release of Da Good da Bad & da Ugly, the group split up for solo careers, until returning over six years later (with Bushwick Bill) with the reunion album The Foundation.
