DJ Screw And The Screwed Up Click Gave Us A 35-Minute Epic With “June 27”

by

DJ Screw is easily one of Houston’s most beloved legends. For those who may not know, Screw is the inventor of the “chopped & screwed” sound. Overall, he pioneered an entire scene and inspired artists like Travis Scott, Don Toliver, and many more. Furthermore, he helped found the Screwed Up Click. Sometimes, members of the group would come over to his house to record freestyles. On June 27, 1996, Big Moe, Key-C, Yungstar, Big Pokey, DeMo, Haircut Joe, and Kay-Luv helped record a 35-minute freestyle. Appropriately, the epic collaboration was called “June 27.”

Throughout the freestyle, we get DJ Screw’s signature production style. Slowed-down and syrupy instrumentals help bolster the freestyle’s seven-artist roster. Each MC brings their own flare to the song, but everyone is laidback which helps make the song feel like some sort of kickback. It’s a demonstration of what makes Houston hip-hop so special. Since today is June 27, everyone should be giving this a listen.

Let us know what you think of this epic freestyle, in the comments section down below. What are your favorite elements of Houston hip-hop? Who do you think had the best verse on “June 27?” Is this one of the most iconic pieces of Houston hip-hop history?

DJ Screw Is One Of Houston’s Most Beloved Legends

Quotable Lyrics: Key-C

Now we chilling, now we just leaning
And we coming up, finne pop up on the scene, and
Just got some drank from that boy with that Bird
And you know we just hooked up on some syrup
Now you know we gone, going real strong
I’m thinking riding far, I’m thinking riding long

Maxo Kream & That Mexican OT Pay Homage To Chopped & Screwed On “Talkin In Screw”

by

Maxo Kream is back at it with another banger for 2024. The Texas rapper has been on an underrated run over the first few months of the year in terms of singles. He started off with the hazy and raunchy “Bang The Bus” with underground producer evilgiane. Then, at the beginning of March, he put out his first solo release with “No Then You A H*e.” A touching tribute to his late father with a message about toughness and the loaded expectations of men, it was easily one of the best songs this month. Now, to wrap things up before April, Maxo Kream is teaming up with That Mexican OT for “Talkin In Screw.”

This track is stark difference from the emotional record preceding it. It sees the two Texas artists go for the trap sound that also makes a nod to the chopped and screwed sounds of Southern hip-hop. The title is a clever play-on-words, as the main theme of the track is about people talking sideways about Maxo and OT. They use “screw” in place of hating, and like Maxo says on the chorus, “Make a n**** slow his roll like he talkin’ in Screw.”

That is Kream saying he is going to make sure the haters are going to relax and fix their tone.

Young Crip n****, got rich off blues

Catch me on lean like a n**** with no knees
Opp n**** weak, wanna beat ’bout a freak
