During an interview on MTV News, rapper and DJ Paul Wall said, I've been getting into the studio every chance I get, working with Swishahouse head honcho T. Farris and Houston producer Mr. Lee. I got a real hot track Bangin Screw from up and coming producers Bizness and Aaddict when I was in L.A. And like the title says, the album is all about getting money and fame, but also about staying true to where I came up, Wall said.

I've dealt with so many things I never had to deal with before: the success I've attained in the past year has been phenomenal, but I still want to remain Paul Wall. So we're not changing the script too much. The focus is still the same: the cars, the clothes, the ho's, the screw music.

Walls second full-length album Get Money, Stay True peaked at number 1 spot on the Billboard Chart Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. His singles Break 'Em Off featured Lil Keke and I'm Throwed featured and produced by Jermaine Dupri.
