DJ Screw’s Catalog Available for Streaming for the First Time

Exciting news for music fans! DJ Screw’s legendary mixtapes are finally being released on streaming platforms this month. Kicking things off with DJ Screw Originals (Volume 1), the DJ Screw Estate will drop one classic mixtape per week until the end of June. This is a big deal because, up until now, you could only get DJ Screw’s music on physical CDs or from fan-uploaded YouTube videos.

In a statement to Complex, the DJ Screw Estate shared, “This is for the fans who’ve always known and for those discovering him now. From a local legend to a global icon, his catalogue will now be accessible everywhere keeping his legacy alive one stream at a time.”

Back in the ’90s, DJ Screw played a pivotal role in shaping Houston’s music scene by creating a unique sound that slowed down hip-hop tracks, giving them a syrupy, glitchy vibe. Sadly, he passed away at just 29 years old in 2000 from a codeine overdose.

So, get ready to immerse yourself in DJ Screw’s iconic music as his mixtapes are released weekly on streaming platforms. It’s a great opportunity for longtime fans to enjoy his music in a new way and for new fans to discover his incredible legacy.
