Bio
Okay y'all let me break it down to everyone what Chopped and screwed (also known as screwed and chopped, slowed and throwed, Screwstone Beatz Music, Houston music, H-Town music, screw music, screwed, and S.L.A.B. (Slow Loud And Bangin') all refer to a technique of remixing hip hop, r&b, reggae, country, rock and even reggaeton music by slowing down the tempo and applying various techniques such as skipping beats, record scratching, stop-time, and sending portions of the music through stand-alone effects to make a "chopped-up" version of the original. It is similar in many ways to dub reggae if you know what I mean.
About
The style was developed in Houston, Texas my birth place, which remains the main location most associated with this style of music. The late DJ Screw ( R.I.P.), is the creator of this experimentation genre which is known as screwed. This process involved mixing two copies of the same record and mp3, slowed down either on the turntables or pc using pitch shift or, later, through use of an after-mixer device. Phasing, Flanging and echo effects were originally the result of the two records being played at millisecond intervals. And if you still don't get what I'm tell you all, well to bad, just listen to my screw mixes and figure it out yourself lol!!
One Love,
