Nobody does real talk like Reggie Ossé a.k.a. Combat Jack. The former rap industry attorney, media executive, author, and Internet radio talk-show personality now hosts The Combat Jack Show, where hip-hop's biggest names are put on the front line. The questions will be tough—and shots will be fired. Co-hosted by Dallas Penn, Premium Pete, and Just Blaze, The Combat Jack Show appears every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday on Complex TV.

In part one of the three part interview with Scarface on The Combat Jack Show, the Houston rapper talks about his grandmother, the making of "Mind Playing Tricks On Me," and what it feels like now that New York is finally embracing Houston. When talking about his grandmother and a book of quotes she kept, the 42-year-old rapper nearly breaks down in tears. Another highlight comes when the guys pull out the cover of Mr. Scarface, a cover that Face is less than happy to see again.
