Paul Wall, born Paul Michael Slayton on March 11, 1981, in Houston, Texas, is a rapper and entrepreneur who became a prominent figure in the Southern rap scene in the early 2000s. Gaining fame for his distinctive voice and laid-back style, Paul Wall earned his stripes as a member of the rap group The Color Changin' Click and later gained widespread acclaim for his collaboration with fellow Houston rapper Chamillionaire on the album "Get Ya Mind Correct" in 2002.

Wall's solo career took off with his major label debut, "The Peoples Champ," in 2005, which featured the hit single "Sittin' Sidewayz." His follow-up album, "Get Money, Stay True," solidified his reputation in the industry. Beyond his musical endeavors, he is known for his business in custom jewelry—particularly grills (custom mouthpieces)—which made him a cultural icon in hip-hop fashion.

As of recent years, Paul Wall has continued to produce and release music consistently, maintaining his presence in the hip-hop community. Albums like "Mind over Matter" and "Hall of Fame Hustler" showcase his continued dedication to his art form, while collaborative projects such as "The Legalizers 3: Plant Based" and "Slab Talk" exhibit his ability to work synergistically with other artists. Despite the ever-evolving landscape of the music industry, Paul Wall persists as a respected figure, both for his contributions to the genre and his entrepreneurial spirit within the culture.
