HOUSTON (KIAH) — June 27th is celebrated every year in Houston in honor of DJ Screw. This Texas native became a household name in the 90s as the leader of Houston’s Screwed Up Click.
Known as the creator of the chopped and screwed DJ technique, DJ Screw’s “June 27” has become somewhat of an anthem for Houston’s hip hop scene. The 38-minute freestyle goes down in history, and the city will be hosting a number of events to keep Screw’s legacy alive.
DJ Screw was found unalive inside a Houston recording studio on November 16, 2000. According to reports, the rapper died of a codeine overdose.
