Remembering DJ Screw and Big Pokey: Houston Honors Hip-Hop Icons on June 27
DJ Screw Day in 2023 holds a deeper significance with the recent death of rapper Big Pokey, known for his contribution to DJ Screw's iconic 1996 freestyle record "June 27." The record showcased DJ Screw's unique "chopped and screwed" production style and helped put Houston's hip-hop scene on the map. Big Pokey, along with other rappers like Yungstar and Big Moe, gained recognition through their flows on the slowed-down record. In honor of Big Pokey, a one-day-only "Big Pokey" meal is being offered by Rapper Bun B's Trill Burgers, with proceeds going to his family.
