Lil' Troy, who featured in his songs many members of the
Screwed Up Click , managed to break out ofHouston 's thriving rap scene in the late nineties with "Wanna Be a Baller," one of the few Houston-based songs at the time to reach national audiences. The song propelled his debut album, "Sittin' Fat Down South", to respectable success, particularly for a Houston artist. Released in 1998, Universal picked up the album, re-released it in 1999, and helped "Wanna Be a Baller" spread from city to city. As the late nineties became the early 2000s, "Wanna Be a Baller" still garnered play. In May 2006, he launched a relatively upscale, contemporary, casual clothing line. Also in 2006, Lil' Troy released a DVD that is also titled "Paperwork". It features a full-length documentary about rapper Scarface that accuses him of being a police informant and provides supposedly real evidence of documents proving the accusation.Discography
