The Tippin' Point

The Houston rap scene blows up.

Houston rap has always prided itself on being "major without a major deal," as local powerhouse label Swisha House puts it. But ever since the breakthrough of Mike Jones—whose "Still Tippin' " introduced the world to Houston's drowsy flow and candy-paint car culture—the long-overlooked scene is the toast of the rap world. Now top H-Town talent is gunning to be major with a major deal, and a flood of releases is on the way. Here's the latest from the new capital of the Dirty South.

I like how the writer put Chingo Bling and Stunta and a chopped & screwed album in the mix there too ... he sure did miss out on a lot of upcoming talent that will be releasing albums soon and a lot of signed artists like Chamillionaire "The Sound Of Revenge" (Chamilitary/Universal), Play-N-Skillz "The Process" (Latium/Universal), and Magno 'album untitled' (Desert Storm South) just to name a few.
