Paul Wall: Rapper, DJ, and the Innovator Behind Grillz
Paul Wall: The Multi-Talented Artist
Paul Wall, born Paul Slayton, is a renowned American rapper, DJ, promoter, and jeweler hailing from Houston, Texas. Known for his affiliation with Swishahouse Records, Wall has carved a significant niche in the music and jewelry industry. He graduated from Jersey Village High School and attended the University of Houston for three years. Wall first gained fame as part of the Houston duo, The Color Changin' Click, alongside longtime partner Chamillionaire.
Early Career and Rise to Fame
Before making his mark as a Southern rapper, Paul Wall honed his skills as a mixtape and party DJ. He was known for producing mixtapes in the "screwed & chopped" style, a technique popularized by the late DJ Screw. During his early years, Wall was also a member of a street team in Northwest Houston, promoting southern artists like T.I. and labels such as Cash Money and The New No Limit.
Breakthrough and Solo Success
Following several successful mixtapes and independent releases, including the popular "Get Ya Mind Correct," Wall and Chamillionaire eventually parted ways. Wall launched his solo career with the album "The Peoples Champ," featuring hit singles like "Sittin' Sidewayz," "They Don’t Know," and "Girl." This album achieved platinum status, cementing Wall's place in the music industry.
Personal Life and Business Ventures
In August 2005, rumors suggested that Wall and Chamillionaire had reconciled. In 2006, Wall married his longtime girlfriend, Crystal Slayton, and the couple welcomed their first child, William "Fat Patrick" Slayton, on April 18, 2006.
Paul Wall is also the proprietor of "Grillz by Paul Wall," an online store in Houston specializing in custom grills, whether silver, gold, platinum, or diamond inlays. This venture gained attention with Nelly’s rap song "Grillz," featuring Wall alongside artists Gipp and Ali.
Paul Wall’s new album, "Get Money, Stay True," was slated for release in fall 2006, further showcasing his dynamic talent and enduring influence in music and beyond.
