The Source July '95: DJ Screw

In '97 i moved from El Paso to a hr away from Houston. About a couple weeks or so living down there i met a friend of my cousin. One day we all ridin in his car and he was jammin Scarface's Untouchable LP. But the one thing i noticed immediately was why in the world does it sound all slowed down? Its ur tape deck broke? WTF? He told me its screwed down. I was like what? I hated screw music for almost a year after living down there and i was catching a lot of flack. But in late '98 and early '99, i learned to appreciate it and now loving it. I will always have a NY State of Mind but i cant forget about my city. So read the article above and find out more about a man who gave TX its own signature sound.

PS
Holla at me if u wanna hear one if his tapes and ill post one up!
