A member of the loosely organized Houston-based rap collective known as the Screwed Up Click, Lil' Keke quickly proved himself to be one of the collective's strongest artists, strongly aligning himself with the city's underground rap don DJ Screw. By not only appearing on countless "Screwed" DJ mixes but also a seemingly endless number of other albums to come out of the South, Keke also became one of Houston's most visible rappers, releasing solo albums for Jam Down Records. His debut album, Don't Mess Wit Texas (1997), affirmed his talent as a rapper, proving that he could hold down an album's worth of tracks. His follow-up, Commission (1998), similarly found him again showcasing his lucid flow. By the time of It Was All a Dream (1999), Keke had become one of the hottest young rappers in Houston and continued to record albums annually.
