Scarface continued to funnel his efforts into additional solo efforts: The Diary came on October 18, 1994, reaching the heights of #2 on both the USA 'R&B/Hip-Hop' chart and the 'Billboard 200' chart. The album has since been certified platinum. Scarface then dropped Untouchable on March 11, 1997 which again improved on his last chart postions with #1 spots on both the Billboard 200 and the R&B/Hip-Hop chart, aswell as eventually been certified as Platinum.
Fresh off his chart-topping platinum LP Untouchable, Scarface returned to the table with yet another ghetto classic with the double disk set: My Homies. The album was a star-studded LP, bloated with guests, that pairs the godfather of hard-core reality rap with some of the hottest, most talented lyricists in the rap game. "I got everybody that I wanted to work with on this album, except Jimi Hendrix," muses Scarface. "Everybody that's hot on the streets right now, I got 'em on this album- Tupac, Master P, Tela, Too Short, and Yukmouth from the Luniz. Plus I've got some rappers from my label, Interface Records, on it too."
