In 1988, DJ Paul started his career as a DJ in Memphis club "380 Beale". At first he wanted to focus on DJing instead of rapping. In 1989, he formed the duo The Serial Killaz, together with his older half-brother Lord Infamous. Paul served as the producer, making beats, which Infamous would rap over. The two did not have any equipment, so they used to rent local DJ Just Born\'s studio with the money their father gave them. Paul would play and scratch records on his mother\'s record player when she was not home. They released self-recorded tapes in their neighborhood, school, and local shops. Their first tape, Portrait Of A Serial Killa, was released in 1992. The following year, the duo released another tape called Come with Me 2 Hell.\n', '
