Today marks the 14th anniversary of the late great DJ Screw. Robert Earl “DJ Screw” Davis, Jr. (July 20, 1971 – November 16, 2000) was an American hip hop DJ who was based in Houston, Texas. He was known as a central figure in the Houston hip hop community and was the creator of the now-famous Chopped-and-Screwed DJ technique. This creation led to his nickname of “The Originator“. Davis was recognized for his various mixtapes and albums mostly on a regional level, until after his untimely death due to a codeine drank overdose. His legacy was discovered by a wider audience when Houston hip-hop began reaching a national audience in 2005. In commemoration I’ve selected one of my favorite tapes released by Screw, “Wineberry Over Gold“. Po’ up, roll up, kick back and bang this classic tape below.. Again, rest in peace DJ Screw.
