Celebrating their Best Mixtape of the Year award from this years Southern Entertainment Awards for the It’s Going Down mixtape, Philly producer CHOPS has once again teamed up with Houstonite Paul Wall, as well as DJ Clue, to bring you the National Champs mixtape, which drops this week.
The tape features original tracks, all CHOPS produced and remixes of hits either from Paul Wall’s own album, or songs that he has featured on such as "Still Tippin" and "Grillz."
CHOPS and Paul have been collaborating on mixtapes for some time now, and each has had a large part in pushing the career of the other. Chris Yuscavage, associate editor at Mass Appeal magazine and a contributor to Vibe had this to say, "People were just starting to get familiar with Paul Wall's music when the It’s Going Down tape hit. The mixtape really put his face and that diamond grill and all that out there for people to see and it was intriguing to them. CHOPS took a little bit of a chance with this one but the risk really paid off in a big way. Plus, the production side of the mixtape introduced CHOPS to those who weren't familiar with his music and he took full advantage of that opportunity. It was a win, win for everybody. That’s why they won ‘mixtape of the year’ together."
