In a Rolling Stone article titled \u201cHe Shook The World: George Floyd\u2019s Legendary Houston Legacy\u201d, writer Charles Holmes reveals the musical past of the man who has become an international symbol for justice since his murder. Known as \u201cBig Floyd\u201d in his Houston community, he was part of the city\u2019s Screwed Up Click, a hip-hop collective centered around the now-legendary producer DJ Screw. This underground scene created a style of slowed-down \u201cchopped and screwed\u201d hip-hop that seeped into mainstream hip-hop, and has even been appropriated by bubblegum Top 40. In this episode we unpack how this chopped and screwed sound took over pop and shine a light on George Floyd\u2019s involvement with the Screwed Up Click.\n\nMORE\nRead Charles Holmes\u2019 Rolling Stone article: '\u201dHe Shook the World': George Floyd's Legendary Houston Legacy\u201d\n\nSONGS DISCUSSED\n\nDJ Screw - Sittin On Top Of The World ft.
