Mr. Wired Up gets clubs fired up and parties “turned up” when he gets on the mic. The lyricist born Kerry Howard has a flow with a cadence influenced by some of Houston’s finest rappers. But his flow possesses a unique crossover appeal that geography or hip hop just can’t contain.
Groomed during an era when R&B, jazz, and soul birthed Southern rap, Mr. Wired Up can thank Houston’s bourgeoning 1990s hip-hop scene as an accelerant for his ambition to stand among the greatest MCs in the game.
Mr. Wired Up made an instant mark on H-Town’s rap scene when his classic “Put It In The Air,” featuring Yung Joc hit the airwaves and became an instant club banger. He’s produced some of the hottest underground mixtapes and collaborations with artists such as Trae Tha Truth and Fat Pimp. His mixtape, Inside My Mind, was a nominated for Mixtape of the Year by Houston Press.
“I came from an era of originality, I can slay a variety of tracks,” said Mr. Wired Up. “I’m not a one-dimensional Houston rapper. I don’t do boxes. I can’t be fit in one.”

Now Mr. Wired Up is pushing his single Walked In and work with OGXchange.
