The film features interviews with a large group 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 shown in the trailer, the film will also touch on Screw’s friendship with the late George Floyd, whose death caused the protesters to die to enter the streets around the world by 2020.

“The idea of ​​telling the story of DJ Screw is just as important today as it was at the time of his passing in 2000. a story of overcoming racism, injustice and inspiration for many,” Yowman told Billboard. “This film will show the strength of a man who overcame the adversity that overwhelmed 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 not told. “

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

Chopped and screwed: the final mixing tape will be released by the end of 2021.
