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.)

Paul Wall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pretty face slim waist, thighs quite thick
Body bangin', baby, holla at me, "What it do"?
Looking sexy, so throwed from your head to shoes
Sassy attitude, popping like a firecracker
You'll be a nice night rider for a paper stack, (yeah, yeah)
Lil' mama let's chill, I love the way you make me feel for real
Ooh, what a feelin', yeah
Every time you come around my body free fallin'
Ohh, what a feelin', yeah, yeah
Anytime you not around, me hear your body callin'
Sweet, sweet conversation, takin' it slow
Girl, show me emotion with the lights down low
Worked too hard just to let it go, yeah, yeah
This time I got to let you know
That, it's no provocation, just let flow
And show me your motion with the light down low
And it's been a long, long time, too long, so now
