DJ Screw, born Robert Earl Davis Jr., was a Houston-based DJ who went on to become one of the most significant individuals in hip-hop. His technique has been used in numerous award-winning films and songs, further serving as one of the founding fathers of Screwed Up Click — one of Houston’s most prominent hip-hop collectives. Screw passed away in November 2000 from a codeine overdose along with mixed drug interaction. He was 29 years old.
