The Sound of Chopped and Screwed

"The Sound of Chopped and Screwed" is a slowed-down ride through the iconic world of Houston’s chopped and screwed scene. Featuring classics like DJ Screw and Lil' Keke’s “Pimp Tha Pen” and Z-Ro’s “Mo City Don,” this playlist highlights the syrupy flow and hypnotic rhythms that defined a generation of Southern hip-hop. Tracks like “Still Tippin (Swishahouse Rmx)” by DJ Michael Watts and “Pourin’ Up” by Pimp C keep things truly H-Town, while remixed picks like “Ocean Eyes (Screwed & Chopped)” and “Classic Man - Screwed & Chopped” show how the style’s influence continues to stretch beyond its roots.

With heavy contributions from Swishahouse, the Screwed Up Click, Chopstars, and other major players, this collection leans into slowed, warped vocals and stretched-out beats that give each track its weighty, immersive feel. Whether it’s the bass-heavy stomp of “Chunk up the Deuce” or the smoky vibe of “Barre Baby,” this playlist captures the unique rhythm and soundscape of chopped and screwed music from its foundation in the '90s to modern reinterpretations.
