Paul Wall, a Texas hip-hop icon from Houston, is known for his affable, boastful rhymes and syrupy beats. Rising through the Swishahouse label, he gained fame with Mike Jones' "Still Tippin'" and solo hit "The Peoples Champ," which topped the Billboard 200. Wall's collaboration on Nelly's "Grillz" earned a Grammy nomination and bolstered his custom mouthpiece business. He continues to release music independently, collaborating with artists like Chamillionaire and Termanology, while maintaining a prolific presence in the hip-hop scene.
