I’m a Texas-bred artist who grew up on — and still lives by — the culture that was created right here in Texas by DJ Screw. That sound, that pace, that truth shaped how I hear music and how I move through life. My mission is simple: keep the culture and the sound alive, respected, and evolving for the next generation. TEXSALUTE is more than music or merch — it’s a statement of respect to Texas roots, Texas artists, and the legacy that made us. This is a salute to where I’m from and a promise to never let the culture fade. - SLO
