Dallas Celebrates DJ Screw Day By Paying Tribute to the Man Who Shaped Texas Hip-Hop.
In Houston, June 27 is reserved to honor Screw. The tempo slows down as the city plays respect to the founder of chopped and screwed, a subgenre of hip-hop that has become synonymous with Texas hip-hop. Dallas, too, is giving Screw his flowers.
DJ Screw Day is not Screw’s birthday. Nor is it the anniversary of his death. He died Nov. 16, 2000. DJ Screw Day is the anniversary of the recording of “Chapter 012: June 27th,” a 35-minute freestyle by rappers Big Pokey, Key C, Kay-Luv, Yungstar, Big Moe, Haircut Joe and DeMo. The date is also DeMo’s birthday, and the freestyle is often referenced as"DeMo’s Birthday Tape."
The inaugural “Screw Done Already Warned Me” in 2019 was at Strangeways. In 2020, Top Ten Records partnered with Santillan to host the event. Both events had DJ sets that went beyond the hip-hop anthems such as Big Tuck’s “Southside da Realist” and delved into underground chopped and screwed tracks. Santillan also commemorates Screw’s legacy by adopting Screw’s business ideology. Screw did not follow the masses. His unwavering independence is still an inspiration to the culture he helped create, even more than two decades after his death.
