Paul Wall (born Paul Slayton on March 30, 1980) is an American rapper, DJ, and promoter from Houston, Texas. 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 Changing Click, alongside long-time partner (and now estranged acquaintance) Chamillionaire.
Slayton'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.
Paul Wall and Chamillionaire were originally affiliated with Swishahouse Records, but left for Paid in Full Records a short time later, after an apparent falling-out with the label. After several mixtape and independent releases, including Get Ya Mind Correct, the two parted ways on bad terms, Chamillionaire continuing 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?, the first screwed & chopped music to receive play outside of the Houston area on mainstream radio and video outlets such as MTV and Clear Channel affiliates.
Paul Wall is the owner and proprietor of a jewelry store in Houston (TV Jewelry) specialising in the production of iced-out grills, cosmetic dental apparati featuring silver, gold, or platinum caps with diamond inlays (usually princess-cut diamonds). He is also a car enthusiast and is known for his brightly colored lowrider convertibles. He calls himself the "undisputed king of the parking lot".
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 wall also appeared with GLC on the song Drive Slow off of Kanye West's second solo album, Late Registration. 50 Cent has recently approached Paul Wall who is signed to Swishahouse and G-Unit records through a joint venture.
