Lone Star Ridaz is a collective of hip hop artists hailing from Texas, a supergroup synonymous with the Southern rap movement and Chicano hip hop. The group is closely associated with the prolific rapper and producer South Park Mexican (SPM), who is a founder of the revered Dope House Records. Formed in the late 1990s, the Lone Star Ridaz featured various artists from the label, including major Southern rap figures.

Best known for their eponymous release "Lone Star Ridaz," the group's music is characterized by gritty narratives, thumping basslines, and the unique synthesis of Texan and Hispanic urban cultures. They diverged into different styles, including "Wanted," which pooled their collective energies into raw and narrative-driven tracks reflecting on street life and Texan pride. The group also dabbled in the chopped and screwed subgenre, evident in albums like "Wanted Chopped & Screwed" and "Lone Star Ridaz Skrewed & Chopped," paying homage to the late DJ Screw's influential remixing technique that became a staple in Southern hip hop. With "40 Dayz/40 Nightz," they continued their tradition of prolific output and vivid storytelling set against the backdrop of the southern streets they represent. The Lone Star Ridaz’s deep discography captures the essence of a specific era in Texas rap and remains a touchstone for those interested in the region's contributions to hip hop culture.
