Dat Boi T

Dat Boi T, whose real name is Tony Avitia, is a Houston-based rapper also known as "The Screwed Up Essay." He's emerged from the Texas hip-hop scene as a proponent of the chopped and screwed style of music, a technique pioneered in Houston by DJ Screw. This technique involves slowing down the tempo of a song and applying various DJ techniques such as scratching and skipping beats to produce a unique remix.

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Dat Boi T is heavily influenced by the local culture, especially the city's iconic slab culture, which celebrates custom cars fitted with elbow-rimmed wheels, known as "swangas." His music often embodies the Houston lifestyle, including themes of street life, hustle, and the celebration of local flair. With recent releases like "713 Day" and its slowed and chopped counterpart, "Slab City," and "Been Gettin Paper," Dat Boi T stays true to his roots while also reaching a wider audience outside of Texas with his modern take on a classic Houston sound. The repeated motifs in his titles reflect his affinity with the local jargon and community, cementing his position as a genuine voice within the scene. His body of work appeals to aficionados of the genre, both within and beyond Texas borders, who appreciate the depth and authenticity he brings to the chopped and screwed movement.
