Houston Screwston


Rob G "Reppin My Block" feat. Lil Keke & Slim Thug


Gorilla Zoe - Hood Nigga (Chopped & Screwed Music Video)


Lil Wayne - You Ain't Know (Chopped & Screwed)

Don't forget that this is the dominant vernacular in Houston. You live simultaneously in Screwston- and unlike any other it is prone to abstraction. In a dialogue presented between the Northside and Southside; lyrics, music and videos emphasize locale and locality. Its relationship with Atlanta is both emulation and contrast, while a warm relationship has been nurtured with Memphis. Is there any relationship between DJ Screw's musical innovation and the art produced not so far away?
Watch these. It'll put meat on your bones.
