The Third Coast, Texas, has set rap trends for decades. Rap assimilates, merging one coast with the next. The refreshing rhyme scheme and southern cadence of an authentic Houston rapper are rare. A plethora of artist rhyme circa ’96 or ’97 with a deep respect for O.G. Rappers like Le$ support an influx of the elemental content that brings the classic Texas rap genre, a new life. After a brief hiatus, Le$ re-enters the scene with 4-th album, The Midnight Club. As a certified microphone fiend, Le$, has the ability to crush the beat. The new life of the underground scene lies in veteran producer turned rapper, Cory Mo, and lyricist like Propain and Doughbeezy. His hottest record to date, a toss up between mix-tapes Menace and Steak and Shrimp Vol. His debut LP, Olde English was a cult crusher for indie rap listeners. Le$ ( SteakxShrimp) has established himself as the king of the underground. Slabs, wood-grain wheels, candy paint, vogues, and drank all remixed content to be chopped not slopped. Although a lot of it is experimental rap from the East Coast artist, the traditions within Texas rap remain popular.

In the current era the aesthetic of Screwston rap has been duplicated by artist like Drake and Asap Mob. Paul Wall was quoted in 2015, as saying the rap scene in his city, “has never been healthier,” speaking on the current state of Houston rap. He governs the structure of rap with an iron fist. Prince the “Don” of Houston rap, CEO of Rap-A- Lot records has been a staple in the Southern Rap scene since the 80’s. There the Texas sound blossomed in 1996 behind rap artist, The Geto Boys, UGK, and DJ Screw. More populated than the city of Chicago located 250 miles up I-10, H-Town is a South Texas, metropolis.
