Robert Earl Davis
Robert Earl Davis, better known as DJ Screw, was an influential hip hop DJ and record producer from Houston, Texas. He is best known for pioneering the 'chopped and screwed' technique, which involves slowing down the tempo of music and manipulating the pitch, creating a distinctive sound that has had a lasting impact on Southern hip hop. DJ Screw's work prominently featured themes related to drug use, including the recreational drug 'lean,' which contributed to his untimely death in 2000 due to an overdose. His legacy continues to shape the genre and inspire new artists.
