In 2003, ten-year-old Texas native Christopher Moore, under the name Lil Twist, scored a Dallas-area pop-rap hit with "Texas Twist." The performing name stuck, though a couple years passed before Moore's career advanced farther, when he sought out <a href="spotify:artist:55Aa2cqylxrFIXC767Z865">Lil Wayne</a> at a concert and impressed the multi-platinum rapper enough to become his protégé. Signed to <a href="spotify:artist:55Aa2cqylxrFIXC767Z865">Wayne</a>'s <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Young+Money%22">Young Money</a> label in early 2010, Moore debuted there with "The Leak," featuring <a href="spotify:artist:55Aa2cqylxrFIXC767Z865">Wayne</a>, which became his first single to reach Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The following year, XXL magazine featured Moore in their annual Freshman Class feature, and he issued a second charting single with another assist from <a href="spotify:artist:55Aa2cqylxrFIXC767Z865">Wayne</a>, "Love Affair." "Turn't Up," featuring <a href="spotify:artist:1YfEcTuGvBQ8xSD1f53UnK">Busta Rhymes</a>, charted in 2012, but Moore's debut album, Don't Get It Twisted, never materialized. Throughout the next few years, Moore recorded with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:2waKklOyXKNqhqIOmE4yBA">Mindless Behavior</a> and Soulja Boy, appeared on the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Young+Money%22">Young Money</a> compilation Rise of an Empire, and continued to release mixtapes. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
