The Untouchable is the fourth solo studio album by American rapper Scarface. It was released on March 11, 1997 through Rap-A-Lot Records. Recording sessions took place at Hippie House and at the Atomic Dog in Houston and at the Enterprise in Burbank. Production was handled by Mike Dean, N.O. Joe, Tone Capone, Domo, Dr. Dre, John Bido, Joseph "Jo Jo" Hearne, and Scarface himself, who also served as executive producer together with "J" Prince. It features guest appearances from 2Pac, Daz Dillinger, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Johnny P, Lisa Crawford and Too $hort, as well as contributions from Devin the Dude, K.B. and Roger Troutman.
The album combines elements of Southern gangsta rap with stylistic influences from g-funk, moving beyond a strictly Houston-centered production approach to present a more polished and cross-regional sound.
