Draper was originally from memphis but sauve house the label was based in Houston...I'm sure @shopthatwrecks prolly has some insight...i think he fell out with ball and g and might even had some kind of discrepancy with j. prince over something or the other...lost distribution, ran into some financial situation and had to close shop for a minute...i remember ross saying that when he was signed to Sauve House in the early 2000s, draper had some kind of legal or financial problem and let him go because he knew he couldn't properly put him out at that time
wicked wayz is a crazy album. hands down my fav suave house release

Southern hiphop is so potent. Look at the amount of game dudes were dropping in these bars.
Its clear these new clowns never listened to REAL hiphop like this.
Non Sequitur
Creep.
From what I understand, Mr. Mike is a dusthead/crazy person.
suave house didnt get the memo when southwest wholesale started goin under n eventually went bankrupt..
is what really happen to suave house..label wise..
alot of labels lost out big when southwest went under...
to late make that move...
street wise was some shyt between suave n rap-a-lot...tela bytch ass was on his yukmouth..mouth wrote a check his ass couldnt cash...in order to keep some nikkas off his ass..he ran to lil j...

Yea he reopened Suave under the name Draper Inc. and Ross was signed to it...Draper was calling it the new Suave House, but it closed down too...It all started when Tela left and went to Rap-A-Lot...soon, Ball & G started talking down on Draper (check the whole In My Lifetime Album they talk about it on a few songs), after that, everyone left and Suave House folded...Draper Inc. lasted long enough to re-release alot of the older albums but that was it
his jcor deal was garbage...he got fukked big time..
around the compilation they had with candy n starships n rockets n dropped...its when shyt started goin down hill...n ball n g..was gettin mad..they was sellin albums..but the invoice wasnt addin up..
then southwest took a nose dive...u had like 800 labels in houston alone that was down with south west..soon as they folded..u had 5 that lasted.. rapalot ...straight profit...wreckshop short stop n suckafree..(all of em got label deals with majors right when the bankruptcy happen)...
now u jus have 1...rap-a-lot...
Good info breh; its crazy when you look at how southwest wholesale situation was the key to all those labels...
yep rapgame at one point in time in texas alone was the dope game...southwest had it 4 cheap..and supplied the entire state of texas...
kappa beach party 98-02...u could find every single label in texas who dealt with them on the seawall..handin out cds..
soon as it folded...u cant find not one of them labels or the artist now...
when the labels saw rap-a-lot n ..master p move ..the labels that were #6-800 should have made arrangements for a new distrubition deal..
mike moe from beltway..was talkin bout movin in filling that southwest deal..but he didnt wanna deal with the headache after he balanced his options..so now he slangin bake potatoes...n ribs n shyt ...
nikkas was 2 lazy to get a cdr connect n do the shyt themselves...swishahouse, ccc n the other slowed down clicks knew it was cheaper to keep the cost down..and did alot of their shyt themselves..
outlaws ccc...and others had nikkas on their forums who were fools with the graphics n photoshop...who were fans..they connected with them..saved a gang of money

Is that why Kappa beach party is looked at as played out now? What happened to some of those label heads that folded? Did they get down with the Straight profits or the SuckaFree, etc.?
yeah..
1 yr had jus a couple labels in the mix at the beach party...next yr every nikka in texas became a rapper n was on the seawall with flyers cds n bullshyt handing em out..
relays was the same way...
nikkas tryin 2 push their music out weighed the hoes..nikkas was tryin 2 fukk with...
some of the labels networked with others...
if u wasnt makin money with say a straight profit or suckafree when they was strugglin when they got on..they wasnt passin out no hand outs..thats why alot of nikkas was mad at flip..
straight profit when yung dropped throwed yungplaya...was smart enough to put a gang of them nikkas on one song n call it a day..
flip didnt too much fukk with nobody...
alot of the labels heads that folded...got regular jobs...
Damn breh...What do you see happening these days with the dudes that were killing it in the 90s and 2000s? members of the Screwed Up Click, South park Coalition, Rap-A-Lot? Do you see them getting back on the independent shyt?
