Paul Wall Drops Off New Album “Subculture”
Paul Wall radiates a kind of humbleness that’s rare in the game.
With over 15 years in the game, a Grammy nomination, and a successful side hustle as a jeweller, the Houston rapper adds to his already stacked catalog with the release of a new album, Subculture.
The veteran rapper partnered with Red Bull for this latest project, recording the entirety of the album at Red Bull Music Studios.
He takes a step out of his comfort zone with this one, trading in the relaxed flow he has been known to employ for a series of decidedly more upbeat cadences. Maybe it’s the Red Bull.
There are flashes of the old Paul Wall on here (standout “Smoke out the Window” comes to mind, with its classic Houston vibe), but for the most part, Wall is experimenting with faster tempos and more aggressive flows.
Subculture is available now on all streaming services. Tell us your thoughts on the Houston legend’s latest project in the comments below.

Kieran James Honors Memory with “Part of the Grind”
Singer-songwriter Kieran James delivers a devastating new single with “Part of the Grind,” a track to tackle the tangled emotions behind loss and memory. A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.
Set to delicate instrumentation and achingly sung vocals, “Part of the Grind” is both a lament and an honoring, a means of remembering while addressing the unavoidable cost of time and illness. His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.
Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.
In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
