Heart Of A Champion

Fresh off a month-long tour with former partner-in-rhyme, Chamillionaire, Houston rapper, Paul Wall, is all set to drop his 4th major label album, 'Heart of a Champion,' through SwishaHouse/Asylum Records. Almost half of the tracks featured on the album are produced by long-time friend and Expensive Taste band-mate, Travis Barker. Feature duties for 'Heart of a Champion' include a diverse list of cast members including Jim Jones, Yelawolf and Raekwon, but do not ignore Paul's Houston roots; Bun B, Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, Devin the Dude and Lil' Keke each get their turn at the mic. Another Houston feature is Johnny Dang aka TV Johnny with whom Paul Wall shares a grills and jewelry business which caters to A-list celebrities and average Joes alike. The album will also feature several songs from Expensive Taste, the group which includes Skinhead Rob (Transplants) in addition to Paul and Travis. Houston-based production duo, Beanz 'N' Kornbread, are credited with the majority of the tracks not produced by Travis, including lead single 'I'm on Patron,' a lyrical documentary of a feeling that most of us have experienced - and greatly regretted the next day - that of simply having too much fun of the liquid variety. 'I'm On Patron' is the perfect accompaniment to that 'blame it on the alcohol' kind of night and sure to be a party staple.
