Whichever label it is will be doing it strictly for clerical honors (a k a, collecting and distributing the dough), since Def American handles all the marketing and promotion. WEA President Henry Droz, insisting late last week that the largest American-owned record conglomerate is not concerned with "The Geto Boys" lyrical content, announced that the album will be handled by one of the WEA-distributed labels, though exactly which one may not be decided by the time the album is shipped Friday. Records, the "W" in WEA (the other labels are Elektra and Atlantic). bought Geffen Records earlier this year for $545 million in stock, but the label continues to be distributed by Warner Bros. But, Bridenthal said, Def American has been going further and further in pushing the taste envelope and "because we believe both in artistic freedom and the freedom to choose the direction of our company, we felt it would be most constructive to encourage Rick Rubin to find a manufacturer-distributor with a greater affinity for the direction of his label."

"We find ourselves increasingly at odds with Def American's creative philosophy," said Geffen spokeswoman Bryn Bridenthal, pointing out that in the past Geffen (home of Guns N'Roses) had removed its own logo from Def American releases it considered offensive, including recent releases by Clay and heavy metal acts Danzig and Slayer. Geffen on Monday terminated its manufacturing and distribution deal with Def American over what it said were philosophical differences. It was Geffen that pulled the plug on "The Geto Boys" in August. The album has been picked up for distribution by WEA, which, ironically, distributes Geffen Records.

In an interview with The Breakfast Club in 2015, Scarface was positive that he and the Geto Boys would not be releasing another album. The Geto Boys have been credited with originating the sub-genre horror-core due to their graphic stories of violence and ability to paint vivid pictures through their horror-themed lyrics. The group paved the way for hip-hop acts coming out of the south, in an era where hip-hop was still heavily dominated by its origin place, New York City. The group, most known for their platinum-selling 1991 album, We Can’t Be Stopped. The post caught friends and collaborators’ attention, with reactions from notable names including DJ Premier, Alchemist, Kid Capri, Mia X, Goodie Mob, Gang Starr, Parliament-Funkadelic, and more. The announcement comes 16 years after their last album, The Foundation, and two years after late member Bushwick Bill, passed away from stage 4 pancreatic cancer in June 2019. On Monday (June 28), the group took to their Instagram accounts to announce their new podcast in partnership with iHeartRadio, featuring the two remaining artists, Willie D and Scarface, dressed in black suits under the title "Geto Boys Reloaded". The legendary Houston rap group, Geto Boys, prepare for their return with the announcement of their new podcast.
