With the recent passing of George Floyd, hip-hop commemorated the contributions of Big Floyd, his alter ego as a member of legendary Screwed Up Click. Artists like Trae Tha Truth and Bun B have opened up about their relationship with Floyd as well as his contributions to the city. Though Paul Wall and Lil Keke have been in the streets of Houston protesting with their city, they came through this week with their joint project, Slab Talk. With 10 tracks in total, the duo tag Slim Thug, Big Pokey and Kendall Thomas for the project. It's a celebration of all things Houston from the gleaming grills to candypaint low-riders with booming basss.
