However, Jordan, performing as Scarface, would soon separate himself from the collective, making a name for himself as an able lyricist and powerful live presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While much of the now-53-year-old rapper\u2019s early subject matter may seem juvenile when compared to his peers, Jordan\u2019s vocal delivery and ability to weave a story eventually earned him #16 on The Source magazine\u2019s list of Top 50 Lyricists of All Time. With a catalogue that spans over 11 full-length releases \u2013 along with a stint in jail \u2013 there\u2019s certainly no shortage of material for Scarface\u2019s upcoming show in Sacramento. Even after concerting to Islam some 18 years ago, Jordan hasn\u2019t really changed nor abandoned the music that got him there. Those catching him at The Crest Theatre on Sunday night can Expect to hear both Scarface and Geto Boys classics that include \u201cSmile,\u201d \u201cSoulja\u2019s Story,\u201d \u201cF*Ck Faces,\u201d \u201cMary Jane,\u201d \u201c I Seen a Man Die,\u201d \u201cMind Playing Tricks on Me,\u201d \u201cOn My Block,\u201d and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jordan and his live band that have earned numerous hip-hop accolades, as well as a feature on National Public Radio\u2019s hip Tiny Desk Concerts (which has since gone viral). Long-time fans will remember that it was Jordan who staged his own Farewell shows in 2021, only to return to the live circuit soon after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sean Healy presents an evening with Scarface and live band at the Crest at 7 p.m., with the show starting at 8 p.m. Tickets start at $25 and go up to $75 and can be purchased at&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.crestsacramento.com\/\">www.crestsacramento.com<\/a>.
