West Texus

The release of “West Texas” on February 6, 2026 (2-6-2-6) marks a defining moment for the region’s sound and identity. Headlined by Snake Scagnetti, a seasoned Odessa, Texas rap veteran and founding member of the group Paper Gatorz. The record carries the weight of legacy and lived experience. The track features Soufside D‑Man, the young star rapidly taking over the Midland–Odessa West Texas market, and Br00klynn James, an elegant vocalist from Los Angeles who recently released her album 47. Produced by Joe Philly Andersen, “West Texus” blends country textures with hard-edged hip-hop, capturing oilfield grit, small-town pride, and the raw ambition that defines the region.

More than just a song, “West Texus” is being positioned as a cultural statement with momentum toward licensing for the series Landman, which centers on the high-stakes oil world of West Texas. The fusion of country and hip-hop mirrors the land itself—tough, honest, and evolving—while uniting generations through sound. Snake Scagnetti anchors the legacy, Soufside D-Man represents the new wave rising fast, and Br00klynn James brings a polished, cinematic presence that elevates the record beyond regional borders. As lyrics roll out and anticipation builds, February 6, 2026 stands as more than a release date—it’s the moment West TexUs steps fully into the spotlight.

Lyrics

West Texas

Sing It Ma

Live and die in West Texas

Where the nights run long

Where the desert wind hums

Like a broken song

Raised on love, pain, hustle and oil

Got soul in my blood

And heat in my soul

From them pump jacks swinging

To them starlit skies

I was born in the fire

Where the real ones rise

So if I make it or fall

Don't second guess us

We built different

Live and die in West Texas

We gone’ get it

In Texas we built different.

The West is a bit different.

We blessed with the oil field.

Yeah the oil spills like Houston, we poured up

Like Dallas, we get active you test us we go nuts, Hu

We tore up from the floor up, fast money or slow bucks

Big doolies and tow trucks.

TexMex that country,  Mayne

Where Erybody know whats his name and

Mojo just beat the Broncos by 4 ayo, what a game In West Texas

Live and die in West Texas

Where the nights run long

Where the desert wind hums

Like a broken song

Raised on love, pain, hustle and oil

Got soul in my blood

And heat in my soul

From them pump jacks swinging

To them starlit skies

I was born in the fire

Where the real ones rise

So if I make it or fall

Don't second guess us

We built different

Live and die in West Texas

Middle of Midland they know I'm from

The heart of the city right where I begun

Think shit sweet get jacked like pumps

Four three two ain't raise no punks

Still making legends like Cedric and Font

Feeling like Xerx. I’m hoping to dunk

Thinkin’ Bryce Harper the way that I run

Real presidential

George Bush son

They call us the tall city

More money than y'all city

MHS I'm a dog wit it

Stand on all business

Ain’t no pistols are y'all with it

Oil money involved in it

What we call when it

Looking like we the the definition

I don't know about y'all niggas

But I'm all Midland

You ain't with us  then y'all trippin’

Live and die in West Texas

Where the nights run long

Where the desert wind hums

Like a broken song

Raised on love, pain, hustle and oil

Got soul in my blood

And heat in my soul

From them pump jacks swinging

To them starlit skies

I was born in the fire

Where the real ones rise

So if I make it or fall

Don't second guess us

We built different

Live and die in West Texas
