We stopped off at Timmy
Among the many things on the Blake Swihart Jersey mind of Cal Wayne this past weekend, the Houston Astros ranked third or fourth. We met before Game 5 in a parking lot of a local sports bar starting to fill up with fans. I'd heard of him during my stay in Houston for the World http://www.calgaryflamesofficialonline.com/Adidas-Sam-Bennett-Jersey Series: described as the best rapper in the city, famous inside the neighborhood where he grew up and basically anonymous outside the 281, 832 and 713 area codes. He's from the Cuney Homes, a famous, or infamous, housing project on the south side, and except for the nine years he lost to prison in four separate stints, he has spent his life trying to take his music to a wide enough audience to hit it big.

When I emailed him to ask to meet, my request was simple: Show me your city on a night the Astros play.We stopped off at Timmy Chan's to get some wings and rice and gravy. (We were saving his

He agreed and took his task seriously, wanting to make sure I saw the right places and understood the subtext around them. First we did a big loop around the major highlights, circling the tangle of freeways and flyovers, playing beats from his phone while he rapped over them as he drove. This sounds obvious, but it's astonishing to see a really talented rapper do that up close. He explained English was his best subject in school.
Sitting in the backseat of his Buick, he juggled multiple cell phones and social media accounts, the full-time work of being a hustling musician. The songs sell themselves -- if he can get them to people's ears. His music is best described as journalism, telling the struggles and joys of living in Houston in 2017. The songs are documents. His latest album, "Ghetto Superstar," is as close as the Third Ward will ever get to having a full-time beat writer: Someone who lives and works in the place he writes about, and someone whose fans believe gets it right.
Sunday was an especially big night for himHis new song was scheduled to be released at midnight, and while he tried hard to keep a calm exterior, he seemed anxious about the reaction. For an artist whose main calling card is his connection with the street, every release is a referendum.
We stopped off at Timmy Chan's to get some wings and rice and gravy. (We were saving his favorite chicken joint Frenchy's for a late night run after the game, he explained.) He ordered a combination rice, loaded with egg and all kinds of meat, and then he swung by his old neighborhood. An old friend saw him and stepped out into the street. We stopped to talk, and Cal Wayne invited him to the club later.

"That's what I told you earlier," Cal Wayne said to me. "It hasn't really registered to this Blake Swihart Jersey community. It's not a baseball city. If this was the Rockets, m-----f----- would be going crazy."
Cal wanted to give some of his food to the guy, sensing he might need it. The guy turned down the first two offers to take some of Cal's rice but eventually accepted and thanked his friend.
"The Third Ward," Cal said, "it's genuine around here. Everybody looks out for each other. Once they see you're genuine and you didn't come to hurt nobody, you're cool."
He sighed and exhaled. It's when people do come aiming to hurt that worries him. His voice got low and a cloud passed over his face.We stopped off at Timmy Chan's to get some wings and rice and gravy. (We were saving his

It's a tense time in Houston, he said, a sense of dread felt acutely by people in his neighborhood, if not by most of the people in attendance at the Astros' games this weekend
