NEW YORK โ When DJ Screw started trending in August, it wasnโt because of newly discovered music or a coordinated effort by his devoted fans.
โThey donโt know that this โtrendโ came from a very important person to our culture.โโAll Screwed Upโ combines biopic film elements with animation to detail the early years of Screwโs life before his โscrewedโ music technique exploded in Houston and spread throughout the South.
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 โAll Screwed Upโ 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, โHey man, you can come to Texas and do major things, major productions.โโThe โslowed and reverbโ controversy wasnโt the only time this year that DJ Screw got renewed attention.
