The project will be released on www.allscrewedup.com for $99, which includes a commemorative giftset designed to look like an original DJ Screw grey tape filled with an “All Screwed Up” tribute cassette, a cassette player and other commemorative items. Born Robert Earl Davis, Jr., Screw began slowing down songs on the south side of Houston in the early 90s. So people know, ‘Hey man, you can come to Texas and do major things, major productions.’”The “slowed and reverb” controversy wasn’t the only time this year that DJ Screw got renewed attention.
