Fast Life (Paul Wall album)
Fast Life is the fourth studio album by rapper Paul Wall. It was released on May 12, 2009 via Asylum Records, unlike Paul's two prior albums which were released via Atlantic.
Background
Paul Wall stated that Fast Life would be stronger than his previous albums in both lyrics and production, as well as cover several more topics:
I really stepped it up a lot lyrically because I wanted this record to show real strength and emotion because y'all know Rap is so deep at times and I took that oppertunity to just write lyrics that told my story and showed people that I mean something deep which y'all never really realised but now realise, also on the production side we really stepped it up a lot. We worked with a lot of new producers, a lot of new artists that I didn’t work with in the past, so they’ll get to see a lot of different vibes that they might have not seen with me with past albums. Subject matter we went a little more in-depth, talked about a lot of different things that I never really spoke on—I might have mentioned it here and there but never really made whole songs about. I had a lot of fun working on the album.[5]
“I’ve grown and matured a lot. I became a man and an adult.” That said, expect him to touch on a number of subjects this go-round, topics that steer away from cars, jewelry and life on the block. Not that his sound has ever been restricted to that anyway. On songs like “Girl” the People’s Champ showed his dexterity behind the mic early on. This project is no different. “You’re going to hear in-depth topics,” he says, adding that he’s been recording nonstop for the album for the last two years, a feat that has given him more than 50 songs to choose from. “You’ll hear some stuff that you might not be used to hearing.”[5]
