Wall's first music industry exposure came as a street team member on the Northwest side of Houston, promoting southern artists such as T.I. and labels like Cash Money and The New No Limit. He is also an accomplished and proficient mixtape and party DJ, known for producing mixtapes in the now-well-known screwed & chopped style, which was invented by the late DJ Screw. While he has recently stated on record that South LE. (in Houston's southside) is his base of operations, it is not the neighborhood that Paul Wall is actually from. Paul Wall has claimed several such neighborhoods over his career, starting with De Soto in Acres Homes (his original home neighborhood), then switching to Gulf Bank (also in Acres Homes).
Paul Wall, Chamillionaire and Jon Higgins were originally affiliated with Swishahouse Records, but left for Paid in Full Records a short time later. After several mixtape and independent releases, including the critically acclaimed 'Get Ya Mind Correct', the two parted ways on bad terms. Chamillionaire continued to release independent records, while Paul Wall returned to the Swishahouse fold. This move allowed him to appear on Mike Jones' first commercially distributed single, "Still Tippin'", from his first major label album 'Who Is Mike Jones?'.
His major label debut, 'The People's Champ', has produced a lead single, "Sittin' Sidewayz", which is receiving national radio and television play. In August, 2005, rumors began to circulate that Paul Wall and Chamillionaire had settled any differences that remained between them, and are again on good terms with one another. Paul Wall also appeared with GLC on the song "Drive Slow" on Kanye West's second solo album, 'Late Registration'.
Paul Wall is the owner and proprietor of TV Jewelry in Houston. The store specializes in the production of grills, silver, gold, or platinum caps and diamond inlays (usually princess-cut diamonds). Grills have become a growing trend in rap culture and have even influenced its own song. "Grillz", by Nelly featuring Paul Wall along with other artists, where at one point Paul raps "Call me George Foreman 'cause I'm sellin' everybody grillz.)

I wanta chick this lick wit some nice round tits
get her full of grapejuice and milk and she's ready to lick
I like them slim wit curves and ready to serve
I gotta way wit words that make them be ready like hors d'oeuvres
when my mackin' them birds I poke em' like spers
I stick my plug in there socket and I give them a power surge
I can make you feel high without fields of smoke
when its over you can't move like your back's been broke
I'm the captain of the drill team the moralrean brothers
I like them all shapes all types all colors
I'm double dutch on bummpers from these late night hights
I'm somethin' simular to a plumer I be layin' the pipe
I make you feel it in they stomach and they float like a feather

The opening lines of "Flow" by Paul Wall serve to announce himself and Mick Jones as the future of hip-hop. The song then goes on to describe Paul's desires for a type of woman he is attracted to. He wants a fine freak with class, who has a slim waist, pretty face, and a whole lotta ass. She should be sassy and not too concerned with gossip. As long as she doesn't reach for his wallet, she will be alright. His ideal woman should have round tits and be ready to lick after drinking grape juice and milk. He likes slim women with curves who are ready to serve, and as a skilled wordsmith, he can make them ready like hors d'oeuvres. Paul is a mack and pokes them like spurs. He likes to give them a power surge when he sticks his plug in their socket. Paul's skills extend beyond just the physical, as he can make them feel high without fields of smoke, leaving them unable to move when he is done.
Paul Wall and Mick Jones make themselves known as the captain of the drill team; they like all shapes, types, and colors of women. Paul likens himself to a plumber, laying the pipe and making them feel it in their stomach as they float like a feather. His smoothness breaks off orgasmic pleasure, leaving women weak in the knees. He has a hell of a resume, with a lot of practice and sex four days in a week. As soon as he spits, he makes them shake and quiver. His swagger dips in their tones, making them wet like a river. He never strikes out, always hitting a home run, and is their lighthouse, leading women lost at sea to safe harbor. Paul Wall and Mick Jones bring it straight to the room, and they bring the lights out.
