The film features interviews with a huge cast of collaborators, friends and artists influenced by Screw. Lil ‘Keke, Rick Ross, Bun B, Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, Solange, Travis Scott and more are included.

As seen in the trailer, the film will also delve into Screw’s friendship with the late George Floyd, whose death prompted protesters to take to the streets around the world in 2020.

“The idea of ​​telling DJ Screw’s story is just as important today as it was during his death in 2000. A story of overcoming the opportunity, racial injustice and inspiration for many,” Yowman told Billboard. This film will show the strength of a man who triumphed over the setbacks that covered his community and used his experiences to create a legacy that lives on today. Screw’s impact on Southern culture is no secret, but his influence on music worldwide is a story… untold. “

A legend on the Houston music scene, Screw died in November 2000 at the age of 29.

Chopped and screwed: the final mixtape expected to be released at the end of 2021.
