“chopped and screwed” culture, thanks to the late, great DJ Screw, many from the blossoming city rose
to fame, while keeping Houston on their backs. Leading the next generation out of Houston is artist Mr
Wired Up, a rapper on his way to claiming fame. Mr Wired Up possesses many gifts that will all but
guarantee him a spot in the music industry.

other siblings, he fell in love with music at a young age, and that love grew as he got older. His

saxophone, and the baritone. He attributes his passion for music to why he stayed out of trouble during
his younger years. Once he began attending college at Prairie View A&M, he began rapping and pursuing
a music career. To excel his talents, Mr Wired Up would often participate in freestyle competitions and
talent shows. Through those public performances, he became known for his skills, and created a buzz for
