Paul Wall: Get Money, Stay True
Houston Hip-Hop has never been shy about its hustling roots. Being shunned for years and finally receiving your shine has that effect. Hip-Hop's own king of shine, Houston's Paul Wall, has his imprint on the tongue of many an artist, from T.I to Nelly with his famous grills . Not just a master of the bling, he is also an accomplished MC who has just released his sophomore solo effort, Get Money Stay True (Swishahouse/Asylum/Atlantic).
Paul Wall stays true to music that represents the fun side of life with nice flows and hypnotic beats. "Get Your Paper Up" (featuring Yung Redd) starts the album off with an explosion that jolts you right to attention. "Everybody Know Me" (featuring Snoop Dogg) shows the rapper working well with the west coast legend, and two singles on the record "Break 'Em Off" featuring Lil' Keke and "I'm Throwed" featuring Jermaine Dupri aptly represent what you will get on this album along with a full supply of that knock.
