DA HISTORY OF CHOPPING AND SCREWING:

Slowing down a song to a furneral pace and repeating certain points of the songs to create a double-up effect. Chopped and Screwed music originated in the early 1990's from legendary DJ Screw, the godfather of Screwed Music, who perfected the art of slowing down one record on one turntable and then having the same record on another turntable at a delay so as create a repetition. DJ Screw had his own label, Screwed Up Records, and own group, Screwed Up Click. DJ Screw suddenly passed away in November 2000 from heart failure which was attributed to drinking prescription cough syrup. This cough "syrup" was popularized in in late 2000 by Three 6 Mafia with "Sippin on Some Syrup". The syrup claimed to help become infused in the Chopped and Screwed music. They syrup slowed down motor skills and was directed related to Chopped and Screwed music.

DJ Michael "5000" Watts caught onto the Chopped and Screwed method in 1995. He started his own label, Swishahouse. It wasn't until the 2000's, that DJ Michael Watts gained some fame. He signed Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Chamillionaire, Mike Jones, and Magnificient (Magno) to the Swishahouse label. Countless Chopped and Screwed mixtapes of big hit radio songs were slowed down. Along with big names involving themselves on the mixtapes, the southern rap style from Houston was on the verge of blowing up by 2003. Late 2003, Three 6 Mafia's "Da Unbreakables" was remixed by Watts. It was a sure hit due to Three 6 Mafia's infectious production from the DJ Paul and Juicy J. Once the 2 worlds of Three 6 Mafia's crunk music and the Chopped and Screwed music collided, countless ears started to listen what the city of Houston had to say.

In mid-2004, Mike Jones, Slim Thug, and Paul Wall teamed up on a compilation CD from Watts called "The Day Hell Broke Loose Pt. 2". The song was entitled, "Still Tippin". The regualar version of the song became a major hit commercially. What people did not know was that a Chopped and Screwed version was making it way through the stores and on the Internet. A video was also made for the slowed down version. Major airplay came to both version of the song. The song was subsequently released on Mike Jones' album, "Who is Mike Jones?" in early 2005.

Currently, big name southern rappers are releasing 2 versions of their albums, one regular and the other "Chopped and Screwed". Such artists such as Ludacris, 8 Ball & MJG, T.I. Lil Wayne, Big Tymers, David Banner, Lil Wyte, Three 6 Mafia, Paul Wall, Mystikal, and Juvenile have had their regular albums chopped and screwed up.

I started rapping in 1998 growing up in Alexandria, VA making mixtapes at home with friends.. (Shoutouts out to my homies Wayne Jackson & Kirk Jr. - They laid down tons of tracks with me and even made they're own albums also, and shoutouts to my homie Dominique Talley). I'm also a D.J. who's straight -up untouchable and precise with the Chopping & Screwing, and I also make beats.

Do you play live?
I haven't started to play live yet, but hopefully in the future I will.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It lets people from ALL over the world hear everyones styles of music and messages thru songs.. I think it is the best and fastest way to spread songs thru the internet if u REALLY want to get yourself heard worldwide.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, I will.. Anytime.. Anywhere...

Band History:
Letting people all over the neighborhoods hear our tapes we made.. We made a few 60 & 120 minute tapes back-to-back full of songs but they accidentally became lost and destroy and with that.. the rap game got put on pause and went on and off throughout 1998 and 2002. After I went to the Air Force in Sept 2002 and got out June 2003, I decided to start up again but I didnt successfully pull off because of certain issues (Not having the equipment, the right people and such). Now.. Everything is together and it's my time to shine...
When i was in the air force for a lil while and i met niggaz from houston so all i listen to is screw mainly and i learned to chop and screw myself.. so i C&S my own rap songs, radio songs, and albums and mixtapes.. so i started off back in da day doin Lil Wayne- The Carter 1 album and Usher`s Confession albums And others or money on the side.. Them joints is SERIOUS.. no bull.. If you wanna hear some my songs, just contact me and holla for a CD...

Your influences?
Twista, 2Pac, Eminem, Yukmouth, 3-6 Mafia, and lot others...

Favorite spot?
