The city of Houston set the standard for independent rap back when the Geto Boys first dropped on Rap-A-Lot Records in the late '80's. It's never been easy to make a splash in the music industry when you're trying to jump in from outside of New York or Los Angeles. But an entrepreneurial group of young brothers from the city known only for it's oil business and the NASA Space program took the rap world by storm. Their gritty, street reality tales showed the world a different side of Houston and the south in general. Before them, nobody knew that Houston was a wellspring of rap talent. After them, that wellspring blew wide open, and consumers hungry for realistic tales from the hood started looking to the dirty streets of H-Town for their fix.
