The film will include interviews with a massive cast of collaborators, friends and artists influenced by Screw. They include Lil ‘Keke, Rick Ross, Bun B, Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, Solange, Travis Scott and more.

As shown in the trailer, the film will also refer to Screw’s friendship with the late George Floyd, whose death encouraged protesters to take to the streets around the world in 2020.

“The idea of ​​telling the story of DJ Screw is as important today as it was at the time of his passing in 2000. A story of overcoming odds, racial injustice and inspiration for many,” Yowman told Billboard . “This film will show the power of a man who prevailed over the adversities that covered his community and used his experiences to create a legacy that stands today. Screw’s impact on the culture of south is no secret, but his influence on music worldwide is an inexplicable story. “

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

Chopped and screwed: the final Mixtape it is expected to be published in late 2021.
