Paul had first started to get popular when the group had released their first mixtape with the title “Choppin Em Up Part 2”, as it had been released in 1999. This had led to the group’s more local popularity and the underground Houston mixtape circuit had then started to regularly invite them for performances and as a result, had made them a permanent member of the group. This had been changed when Slim Thug, another fellow rapper had decided to leave the group and this suit had been followed by other rappers too.
This had led to the formation of their own hip hop group, which had been known as ‘The Color Changin’ Click’ (including both Paul and Chamillionaire), inspiring the name adopted. Both the rappers had started releasing various mixtapes which had started to get popular and had made them receive better business opportunities. One such opportunity was when ‘The Color Changin’ Click’ had been invited to produce and then record one full album for the label, Paid In Full Records. This also helped Paul in getting success as a DJ both at parties and mixtape records.
