What is chopped & screwed production?

0

Chopped & screwed (also known as screwed & chopped) is a style of southern rap music pioneered by the late DJ Screw of Houston, TX, USA. Using a sensibility not far removed from dub remixers like King Tubby and Lee Perry, DJ Screw would take his favorite records/beats and remix them by slowing them down, applying DJ techniques such as scratching, stop time, stuttering, and adding external effects to create a chopped & screwed version of the original. Today, many southern rap albums are produced as double discs complete with an original version and a chopped & screwed version. Modern remixers carrying on Screws legacy include Swishahouse Records, Michale 5000 Watts, OG Ron C, etc.
