DJ DMD is a DJ, producer, record label owner, and rapper from Port Arthur, Texas. He’s best-known for his his “25 Lighters (later remixed as “25 Bibles), as well as for his production work on early records from UGK.

How would you describe the differences between Port Arthur and Houston proper?

P.A., that’s where I was raised. I’m one of the original people to bring hip-hop to Port Arthur, back in the early ‘80s. I had a cousin who was friends with guys in New York, he was a DJ, and he would bring all of these records and stuff back. I’m twelve years old, fascinated with this new thing called hip-hop that’s startin’ to spread, so I gathered a group of guys and we started a whole hip-hop crew. Graffiti, breakdancing, DJing, and ultimately led us to forming a rap group and me to gettin’ into production. So Port Arthur is where I started, and right around the end of my high school situation I ran into Pimp C and turned him on. He eventually got hooked up with the legendary Bun B, and their history is what it is.

I left high school and started considering pursuing hip-hop as a profession. A year and a half in college, formed a rap group, and we got a record deal with an indie label here in Houston. Moved to Houston, put out an album and an EP, and they did pretty well. The label eventually folded, so I moved back to Port Arthur. This has to be ish, and my family bought a record store in Port Arthur. I ran that from up until when “25 Lighters took off. , UGK’s second album Super Tight comes out. I was blessed to be able to have production credits on it, then me and my new crew started an independent record label (Inner Soul Records) in Port Arthur and put out my very first single, “So Real with DJ Screw. Then was “25 Lighters, with Fat Pat, rest in peace, and Lil’ Keke. It did what it did, changed my life, and got me a major deal with Elektra Records. I wound up buildin’ a big studio in Port Arthur in , state-of-the-art, for the community, and then was my last big

The only surviving member of the group Dead End Alliance (which also featured DJ Screw, Fat Pat, and Hawk), Kay-K was an early presence at Screw's house on Greenstone but found himself in prison for much of the time of most notoriety for the Screwed Up Click (back when everyone was still alive). After his release from prison, he began recording again, putting together a new version of DEA and releasing the Sean Solo-produced "Sun Hit Da Fade Pt II" with Z-Ro and Lil' Keke in

The Dead End Alliance (D.E.A.) was a Houston rap group made up of Fat Pat, his brother HAWK, DJ Screw, and Kay-K. All were members of the Screwed Up Click, the rap collective that developed around DJ Screw's mixtapes. Kay-K is the only surviving member of D.E.A.

 

Clay-Doe brought the hard street wise edge to any record he touched. Most notably known as a member of the Southside Playaz, stepping in after Fat Pat passed away, Clay-Doe is a Houston hustler and his verses and freestyles reflected it. As a core member of the SUC, Clay-Doe was a regular in the Screw House and represented the ambitious business-minded side of the group with a hunger to build an empire in the rap game.

    POSSIBLY THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL ENTERTAINMENT NEWS OF THE DECADE

    Who Did It First :D.J. Screw or D.J. Fury?

    People all over the world have been wondering for many years whether or not Robert Davis, Jr., aka D.J. Screw, really was the originator of the slowed style of music popular rappers from the State of Texas proclaim as his signature €œScrewed € sound. D.J. Screw gained notoriety and made a name for himself over the course of the s as a Houston deejay due to his uncanny mixing style of pitching down records to a slowed pace. He sold his mixed cassette tapes at his Houston-based record store, Screwed Up Records and Tapes.

    D.J. Screw also played an integral role in Houston €™s burgeoning rap scene. His first album entitled All Screwed Up was released in on the Bigtyme Recordz label also based in Houston. His home studio, The Screw Shop, functioned as the headquarters for what was referred to as The Screwed Up Click, including such rappers as BigPokey, Lil €™ KeKe, and D.J. Screw €™s influence even boosted the career paths of Lil €™ Flip and many other locally known artists featured on his mixtapes. Sadly, D.J. Screw was found dead in his studio of a fatal heart attack at the tender age of 30 on the morning of November 16, His legacy lives on to this very day as other record companies in the Houston area took interest in the €œScrewed € music style, the most noteworthy being the Swisha House label, home to Paul Wall, Mike Jones, Lil €™ KeKe, and more. One little known fact that has begun to shake up the music industry is that Brian Graham, aka D.J. Fury, was actually the first recording artist to ever release a slowed tempo song on a nationally released album.

    D.J. Fury referred to his style as €œDragged € at that time. The song was entitled €œTwenty 15 €™s € from the Kings of Bass album

    • Interview: Z-Ro on DJ Screw and the S.U.C.

    Last week, I published a story in the Guardian on the life and lasting influence of legendary Houston sound pioneer DJ Screw. Truthfully, I originally researched and wrote the article (although the version in the Guardian is much different than that original draft) for a certain U.S. rap magazine that did not ultimately run it. (I’m glad they didn’t put it in the issue it was slated for because the cover is creepy, but that’s a whole ‘nother story). Originally that article was going to focus not just on Screw but the darkness that has surrounded the Screwed Up Click over the years. In addition to the syrup-linked deaths of Screw, Pimp C and Big Moe, the crew has seen several of its members murdered, most notably Fat Pat and his brother Big Hawk. Couple that with the lack of recognition received by the S.U.C’s most talented surviving members and it damn sure feels like a curse. I say this to provide a little background into this interview with Z-Ro, in my mind is the most underrated rapper working today. Our conversation mostly sticks to the topic at hand, and doesn’t go too deep into Z-Ro’s own career or his creative process, but it’s a nonetheless revealing chat with a man who, at least according to the Internet, has given few if any in-depth interviews. Far from the aloof misanthrope one might expect, ‘Ro was friendly and engaging and articulated the appeal of Screw tapes better than anyone else I spoke with.

    JS: How did you first meet Screw?
    Z-Ro: I guess the first time I met Screw, I was not really meeting him but I was a fan of what he did with the music. On Greenstone [Street in Houston], he had a house with a gate around it. The same story everybody knows about—the house with the gate. If you was in Houston, and you was listening to mixtapes, especially around the ‘92, 93 period…We would just ride up to the man’s house. And when the gate would come open, that would mean he’s open for business. You could come a
