#Checkseason is the sixth studio album by American rapper Paul Wall released by his own label Paul Wall Music on December 10, 2013.[1]
After Wall's major label contract ended he was left without a label and not knowing how to release new music. Wall also had health problems due to his morbid obesity, weighing over 320 pounds (150 kg). After trying to lose weight in a number of ways, Wall eventually undertook a surgery, commenting that it "took [him] to a whole 'nother place and it really saved [his] life."[2] After that he decided to start over his career and with the help of his friend Slim Thug created his own independent label Paul Wall Music. Wall declined several offers from other labels, in order to develop his music style and fan base. He commented: "I'm just independent; I'm just putting it out underground. Back to where it all started, back to the basics. I'm really following my brother Slim Thug's lead, what he doing now, putting his mixtape out. Taking it back to the underground."[2]
