The film will feature interviews with a large cast of collaborators, friends and artists influenced by Screw. Lil ‘Keke, Rick Ross, Bun B, Megan Thee Stallion, Lizzo, Solange, Travis Scott and others are included.

As shown in the trailer, the film will also address Screw’s friendship with the late George Floyd, whose death prompted 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 during his death in 2000. A story about how to overcome adversity, 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 lives on today. Screw’s impact on southern culture is no secret, but his influence on global music is a untold story. “

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

Chopped and Screwed: the Final Mixtape is expected to be launched in late 2021.
