Albert Walker Mondane (born June 29, 1990), known professionally as Sauce Walka, is an American rapper and songwriter from Houston, Texas.[2]

Career

[edit]

Sauce Walka started his rapping career in 2007 under the name A-Walk as part of a Houston rap group called Mostheard.[3] He began releasing mixtapes as Sauce Walka in 2014, in the same year forming the duo Sauce Twinz with another rapper, Sancho Saucy.[4] Sauce Walka credits himself with popularizing the modern usage of the hip-hop slang term "drip", a word he uses extensively throughout his lyrics.[5] In 2015, he gained attention after releasing a "diss song" titled "Wack 2 Wack", targeted at the musician Drake, accusing him of appropriating Houston hip-hop culture.[6]

Sauce Walka has collaborated with various notable hip-hop acts such as A$AP Rocky, Bun B, Chief Keef, Lil' Keke, Maxo Kream, Migos, Slim Thug, Travis Scott, Trinidad James and XXXTentacion.[7]

The Sauce Factory

[edit]

Sauce Walka founded the independent record label The Sauce Factory (often abbreviated as TSF) in 2014.[8] TSF has signed 5th Ward JP,[9] Peso Peso,[10] Rizzoo Rizzoo,[citation needed] Rodji Diego,[citation needed] and Sancho Saucy.[9]

[edit]

Sauce Walka was involved in a gun-related incident in summer 2009.[11] Court records show that he pleaded guilty to deadly conduct after being charged with shooting and wounding a person during a concert at Texas Southern University, which resulted in him serving community supervision. In 2018, Houston Police told KPRC that he was involved in a criminal street gang called "Mash Mode" in 2009, at the time using the name "A-Walk".[12]

In 2018, Texas state court documents described The Sauce Factory as a "documented gang" and "known for criminal activity". In response to the accusations, Sauce Walka said, "I'm going to keep rapping because I know I'm not a gang. I know we're not a gang, I know that I'm a record label, I know that I'm an artist [...] I'm not into gang activity or none of that stuff that's going on, I'm not worried about that, it's not what's going on."[12]

In December 2023, he was arrested after driving more than 130 mph, and also evading Houston Police Department officers for a two mile chase.[13][14] During the chase, Sauce Walka also got involved in a car wreck and was briefly hospitalized.[14] He was initially released after posting a $15,000 bond, but was then sent back to prison after he was officially charged with evading arrest or detention, with a judge also increasing his bond to $35,000.[13]
