houston rap

Last updated:

Description

Houston rap emerged from Texas's largest city in the 1990s, pioneered by DJ Screw's signature "chopped and screwed" technique of slowing tempos and repeating vocal sections. The sound is characterized by deep bass, syrupy slow beats, and introspective lyrics often exploring street life, struggle, and Southern pride. This distinctly laid-back, hypnotic style contrasts sharply with the faster-paced rap from other regions.
