"props for someone 'for'/'to'"?

I often hear the expression used by Americans to convey the point that somebody deserve a little applause for something they did.
But which props for someone "for" doing something or "to"?

Thanks in advance!:)

Not slang that I know, but I found this: "Props" is a jargon way to say "proper recognition" or "proper respect due". Props is commonly used with the prepositional phrase "to (someone)". As a stylish way to acknowledge someone's skill or achievement, props has become quite common in modern text and email conversations.

That was new to me, but then most twitter and chatroom messages I see are incomprehensible to me.

I thought it was pretty common... And I don't go to chat rooms or use Twitter.
