The origin of the word pioneer derives from the French
word pion or “foot soldier”. A pion was a soldier whose task
was to prepare the way for a main body of troops marching
into a new area.
In the most literal sense of the word Robert Davis Jr. a.k.a.
“DJ Screw” was a true hip-hop pioneer. Davis was and is
the grand master of “Screwed and Chopped” music, a
technique of slowing the pace of music to almost an
obscure drag personifying the underground style of the
Houston streets that made him famous. With a small army of
MC’s knows as the Screwed Up Click or S.U.C., Screw began
a mix-tape movement that would one day take the music
industry by storm.
Unfortunately, DJ Screw would not live to see his army
which once only enjoyed celebrity status in Houston’s
underground and hailed as “platinum in the streets” now
reaping the benefits of global sales becoming “platinum on
the charts”. DJ Screw has left his legacy from what was
once a just a “fad” to the mainstream embrace of his sound
that has launched several careers and arguably one of the
biggest movements in hip-hop.
DJ Screw: Untold Story tells the story of Robert Davis
before the phenomenon and before the fame from the
people who were there. This DVD also contains never
before seen footage of the one man who gave Houston it’s
sound identity, at work and at play as well as interviews with
the original members of S.U.C (Screwed Up Click), Davis
family members, the last interview from “Hawk” and his
thoughts about his brother and DJ Screw filmed just 3 days
prior to his untimely death.
