After Wall's major label contract ended he was left without a label and not knowing how to release new music. Wall also had health problems due to his morbid obesity, weighing over 320 pounds (150 kg). After trying to lose weight in a number of ways, Wall eventually undertook a surgery, commenting that it "took [him] to a whole 'nother place and it really saved [his] life."[2] After that he decided to start over his career and with the help of his friend Slim Thug created his own independent label Paul Wall Music. Wall declined several offers from other labels, in order to develop his music style and fan base. He commented: "I'm just independent; I'm just putting it out underground. Back to where it all started, back to the basics. I'm really following my brother Slim Thug's lead, what he doing now, putting his mixtape out. Taking it back to the underground."[2]
Guests, production and releaseedit
Most of #Checkseason's tracks were produced by G.Luck and BDon; other producers included Beanz N Kornbread, June James and DJ Mustard. The album had guest appearances from frequent collaborators Lil' Keke and Slim Thug, as well as rappers Kid Ink, YG and Young Dolph, among others. Paul Wall hosted a release party at Houston club Empire a day prior to the album's official release.[3]
Wall called #Checkseason a "theme project", which he made for himself and people with his lifestyle, stating that "there are no songs for girls on there, no songs for the radio, no songs for the strip club; it's just like the blueprint to make a rap record."[2]
