HOUSTON – If you’re into Southern hip-hop, you’ve likely come across Wreckshop Records, a cornerstone of Houston’s late ’90s and early 2000s rap scene. Founded in 1997, the independent label helped define the city’s signature sound, working closely with the Screwed Up Click and amplifying the reach of the chopped-and-screwed movement.
Wreckshop was instrumental in elevating influential artists like Fat Pat, Big Moe, and E.S.G., cementing its legacy as a driving force behind Houston’s rise in Southern hip-hop. Now the company is expanding it’s reach.

The label’s owner Derrick “D-Reck” Dixon and business partner Noke-D have signed rising Houston rapper Quiet Money “Dot,” a collaboration the label says has been in the works since 2025.
Dixon and Noke-D hosted Dot at a private dinner Monday, March 16, 2026, where the label outlined plans to build the artist into a wider name beyond Houston. Wreckshop executives say Dot has been selected to participate in a Fat Pat tribute album, Dreamz To Reality, a project intended to honor the late Houston rapper and Screwed Up Click member.
“Noke-D has been telling me about Dot for several years,” Dixon said in a statement. “I finally figured the time was right to bring him on board.”
The label says Dot’s next album is planned for early May 2026 and will include unannounced collaborations. Wreckshop leaders said Dot stood out for what they described as an authentic Houston sound and delivery, comparing his style to Fat Pat and other artists associated with the Screwed Up Click.
Dot, a Worthing High School graduate and Grambling State University alumnus, said he has studied the music business as he builds his career. Wreckshop officials also pointed to his recent visibility around South by Southwest as a sign of momentum.
Dot’s biography traces his roots to Houston’s South Side neighborhoods of Sunnyside and South Park. He cites a mix of influences, including East Coast lyricism, West Coast bounce and the slowed-down style popularized locally by DJ Screw.
Before pursuing music, Dot played collegiate football at Grambling State, an experience he says shaped his work ethic. He began recording more seriously during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the biography, and released early tracks that drew quick attention online.
Since making his solo debut in 2020, Dot has released more than 20 projects through his independent imprint, Quiet Money Records, according to materials provided. The biography says his videos have drawn nearly 1 million YouTube views over the past 18 months.
