PREVIOUS REPORT: "All Screwed Up" director Isaac "Chill" Yowman and executive producer D-Reck spoke with ABC13's Richh Harrison about the 20-year journey to bring DJ Screw's story to the screen.

HOUSTON, Texas -- With June 27th - aka DJ Screw Day - just around the corner, Spotify/Gimlet Media's hip-hop podcast Mogul will be celebrating the life and legacy of the late, Houston-rap pioneer in its latest season, premiering Wednesday, June 23.

The third season of this podcast, where host Brandon "Jinx" Jenkins delves into hip-hop's most iconic moments, will chronicle the story of Robert Earl Davis, Jr.

The reclusive DJ created his own genre - Chopped and Screwed - by slowing music down until it sounded like syrup coming out of your speakers.
