The single took off and SwishaHouse, unaided, invested in a video which would exhibit a unique visual of Houston hip-hop and culture highlighting the slowed down music, kitted cars, voluptuous women, diamond encrusted grills and southern landscape. As an independent label, SwishaHouse, with the A & R vision of T Farris constructed the hit record “Still Tippin’.” Farris tracked down the instrumental and solicited Mike Jones, Slim Thug and Paul Wall to rhyme on the song. With a distribution deal from Southwest Wholesale and a pending venture with Asylum Records, greater prospects were on the horizon. This CD set the pace for the growth of SwishaHouse. “They said if I put out an album they would fund it for me.” In 1999, SwishaHouse had their first official release, The Day All Hell Broke Loose Part One, a compilation CD which featured Slim Thug, Archie Lee, Big Tiger, Lil’ Mario and Paul Wall. “We ended up getting a deal with Southwest Wholesale ” Watts explains. After the increase in popularity of the mix tapes, Watts was presented with an opportunity to release his CDs on a larger scale. But not without hard work and meticulousness, would they take the company to the next level. As co-CEO’s, Watts and Dash financially and physically built a foundation that would soon triumphantly market and promote the debut CDs of Mike Jones and Paul Wall. “When Watts and I became partners we both started investing our money in the company,” reveals Dash. He partnered with long time friend and former rap artist G Dash who initially helped by distributing the mix tapes to various retailers and road managing early SwishaHouse acts Slim Thug,Lil Mario,J-Dawg,Big Tiger,Big Pic,Lester Roy and Archie Lee. “It got to the point where I needed a business partner, someone I could trust, and I knew G Dash was a good business person,” says Watts. As Watts’ mix tapes garnered more and more recognition, single handedly imparting the Swisha brand and the chopped and screwed genre to a national audience, his business began to expand. So I called my studio the SwishaHouse,” Watts says of how he developed the name of his company. When I started slowing my mixes down, instead of calling them screw mixes, I called them Swisha mixes.
