“From whatever scarce info I could find, I get the feeling Killa Cal Wayne is something of a minor cult favorite in Texas (parts of it anyway). Very little of his material is available for dl via the usual internet channels, most of what I’ve heard I’ve found through youtube. Those clips show a capable hardcore mixtape rapper, not doing anything particularly new but running that lane well. He’s got the ability, the grit, the menacing attitude, he can actually write a song, and he sports an inspired beat selection without regional biases. He reminds me a bit of Freddie Gibbs around 2009ish, but more serious and more downbeat.”

“As I remember it, J. Prince of the Rap-A-Lot Records empire was the very one to coin the phrase "reality rap". On one hand, the term is a cop-out designed to excuse the promotion of rampant drug dealing, imprisonment, and death. On another hand, and this was Lil J's exact point, these are the things that are actually at work in the hood. So why blame anyone for merely wanting to document "reality"? At any rate in 2011, Killa Cal Wayne has forcibly snatched the baton previously carried by the likes of Scarface and Z-Ro and continues to run cutthroat circles around the track of reality rap. From his base of 3rd Ward Houston, where few apologies exist, Killa Cal Wayne reminds us that yes, we still have a problem and no, the art of expressing the ground-level carnage has yet to run its course...”

“There were a ton of performances at the party, the most surprising of which being the ten-minute explosion Killa Cal-Wayne put on. Two things about his performance you didn't expect: 1) He has a noteworthy ability of being able to translate his brand of thug-rap to a live show, which has been a hindrance for a lot of similar artists not named Trae or J-Dawg. With the exception of the first minute or so where he was performing the perfunctory Song About Swag, he managed to corral the type of aggressive, emotive earnestness that made his About My Brother's Business mixtape enjoyable.”

“Don’t believe the rumours. As of right now, we've received calls from labels and label heads, discussed some things, but we have not inked any paperwork. So we have not signed with a major. We're still waiting until we get the right situation. The rumours that we've signed with a certain company are not true. ”

“Cal-Wayne grew up in Cuney Homes. A few people that moved out of Cuney because it was a little too rough for them: Satan, the bad guy from that God of War video game, serial killer Ted Bundy, Hitler, Die Hard Bruce Willis, Michael Myers, The Kraken, the guy from the circus that eats glass and nails and shit, Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Paul Bunyan.”
