Notable as one of the few successful white Southern rappers, Slayton is affiliated with Swishahouse Records, formerly Swisha Blast Records. Slayton is a graduate of Jersey Village High School and studied mass communications at the University of Houston for three years. Paul Wall was originally one-half of Houston power duo The Color Changin' Click, alongside long-time partner (and now estranged acquaintance) Chamillionaire in 1998.

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.)

[Hook: Paul Wall & Kid Ink]
I be gettin’ tho’d, I be gettin’ tho’d
I be gettin’ tho’d, I be gettin’ tho’d, man I be gettin’ tho’d
I be gettin’ tho’d, I be gettin’ tho’d
I be gettin’ tho’d, I be gettin’ tho’d, man I be gettin’ tho’d
(Thoooo ooh ooh oh’d)
Don’t take too long with my drink

Don’t take too long with my drink

[Verse 1: Paul Wall]
Po’ up, I be gettin’ muddy
Got that act right, on deck buddy
Gotta power up, double cup, yeah you know what’s up
Hold up, don’t mind me, I’m gettin’ money
Codeine got me leanin’ like a kickstand
Vodka and cran’ with a xan’ I’m gettin’ zan
Mixin’ up the drank, rollin’ up the stank
I be gettin’ bank, when it comes to gettin’ tho’d, I’m the man
Two cups, two hands, I call that a four way
Ridin’ with a throw away, hater I don’t play
Swisher full of hay, gettin’ pay, tho’d everyday (everyday)
I’m loaded, you can see it in my face

[Hook:]

[Verse 2: Kid Ink]
Okay, tell me where the waitress

They ain’t wanna let me in with a hat, but I walk right through
Now, came ’bout twenty deep, couple of ‘em had fake I. D. S

Criss-cross on the couch, I ain’t gonna leave ’til they kick a nigga out
After that, the party at the house
Tryin’ to catch up, we out the park

Rock on my pinky, my white girl dinky
Fucked my bitch raw, then nutted on her chi-chis
Got Fendi on my belt, got Fendi on my shoes

Uh, nigga I’m a gang banger
All my homies dry their clothes outside on a hanger
Uh, nigga I be gettin’ tho’d, bitch so bad put a ring on her toes
