When I first developed an interest in rough-around-the-edges cumbia music, a friend (thanks Matt!) introduced me to the music of Dick El Demasiado, purveyor of “cumbias lunaticas.” Over the years I've managed to glean a bit more about him, then I recently saw a documentary about him called Dick Verdult: It Is True, But Not Here. I learned Dick El Demasiado the musician is a mere sliver of what Dick Verdult the artist has to offer. His culture-jamming tendencies are a reflection of his culturally scattered upbringing- born in the Netherlands, raised all over Europe and South America, and currently living in the Spanish town of Calanda. When Arrington de Dionyso and I spoke to him last November, he was at home in Spain. Dick discusses the music that spoke to him in his youth, moving 20 times in his first 20 years, writing ugly poetry, creating music alone vs with a group, having an audience in a notorious street gang, that signature skeleton costume, and his definition of cultural distortion.

On Thursday's show: For some, that was it. Beryl was the last straw. They're considering leaving Houston (there's even a “Leaving Texas Support Meet-Up” planned Thursday night for those considering leaving town).For others, there's a growing sense of unease about how long to stay in a community continuously threatened by extreme weather. Last fall, a Houston Matters exclusive survey question posed by the Hobby School of Public Affairs at the University of Houston found a majority of residents say they've thought about leaving the area in recent years, with more than half of those folks citing extreme weather as the reason why.Meanwhile others are defiant and prepared to ride out any future storm.We discuss whether extreme weather, power outages, and other factors in recent memory have Houstonians thinking about leaving our city.Also this hour: New analysis places the economic impact of Beryl in the billions of dollars. But who pays for what? We talk it over with some experts.Then, the abstract expressionist paintings of Janet Sobel influenced Jackson Pollock. So, why isn't she a household name like he is? An exhibit at the Menil Collection aims to remedy that with the help of her grandson, who lives here.And the George R. Brown Convention Center will host DJ Screw Day on Saturday. We listen back to a 2022 conversation about DJ Screw, the Houston music pioneer who continues to influence H-town and hip-hop culture.

In the '90s, a remarkable sound was being developed in Houston—its cavernous drums, booming, crawling vocals, and distinctive, hiccuping rhythms reflect the indelible influence of DJ Screw. During the latter half of the decade, the hardworking musician produced hundreds if not thousands of tapes, mixing regional classics with on-the-fly freestyles to develop a new template for southern rap. While Screw's life was cut tragically short, his musical style has lived on, influencing everything from Drake and A$AP Rocky to the entire "slowed and reverbed" digital community.   But what was it about Houston that made Screw's career possible? What was it about TAPES that made Screw's career possible? To find out more, we talked with Lance Scott Walker, whose astounding oral history, "DJ Screw: A LIfe in Slow Motion" stands as the definitive account of this sonic trailblazer. Digging into urban histories, analog theories, and business practices, this episode explores the world that made Screw—and the world that Screw made.   Subscribe to our newsletter!

Today, we're bringing back one of our favorite episodes. The one where we talk about DJ Screw. In the early 90's, Houston hip-hop artist DJ Screw developed a sound called "chopped and screwed." It drew from artists he'd appreciated from a decade earlier – like DJ Glove, Ice T's DJ whose appearance on the movie Breakin' inspired him.Screw was not drawn by the rappers in that movie, nor the breakdancers, but, rather, the turntables and what the spinning of albums at different speeds could do to a song. So, when the mid-90's hit, Screw did something incredible: he created quite possibly the most "Houston" sound ever. Today, Lisa Gray talks DJ Screw with Lance Scott Walker, whose book DJ Screw: A Life In Slow Revolution. They are also joined by Derrick D-Reck Dixon, owner of the entertainment company Wreck Shop Nation.  Looking for more Houston news? Then sign up for our morning newsletter here.

This week's guest is author Lance Scott Walker. He recently released a book on a legendary DJ Screw and we talk to him about DJ Screw's importance to the culture, his actual life told to him by his friends and love ones, what it takes to put a book like this together, and more.

DBRP is your go-to source for engaging interviews with the authors of prominent hip-hop books and this week we have a double dose of conversation hot off the presses. First up Lance Scott Walker, author of DJ Screw A Life In Slow Revolution joins us from Texas to discuss his book's intriguing structure and to recommend the definitive Screw track for us relative novices. Then we have a conversation with Paul Cantor, author of Most Dope: The Extraordinary Life of Mac Miller, as well as Paul's long career as a prominent music journalist. We really enjoyed speaking with both of these gentlemen, and talking with them about their process and the initial reaction to their books' announcements shows a heavy skepticism from artists' online fan communities that boils down to one very serious question: Who is allowed to write biographies of artists who are no longer with us? We talk about that a bit in the segments. Beats this week were submitted by K from Father Hoods Podcast and we appreciate the contribution.

Got a chance to sit down with my man Lance Scott Walker for this episode. Lance and I go way back in the scene in Houston but really connected when he and Peter Beste started working on the Houston Rap book and what would later become two editions of Houston Rap Tapes. I love Lance's style because he lets his subjects talk and tell the story themselves. Telling the story of Houston rap is no mean feat, there are so many versions and such, and telling the story of DJ Screw is one hell of a challenge. The man Lance took that challenge and is delivering what is about to be the definitive story of DJ Screw. Tune in to this episode to hear all about his journey writing both books and listen as we go back even further to the days of the Axiom and such. It really goes down!

Houston Rap Tapes Author Lance Scott Walker  joins us for a dope discussion about H-Town Hip Hop 

In Houston Rap Tapes, Lance Scott Walker’s oral history of Bayou City hip-hop, he didn't merely produce a perfunctory history of the musical scene. Lance has infused the book with the rich life stories of the participants including Scarface, Willie D and Paul Wall plus many of the best-kept secrets of the six wards. Side by side you'll witness the joys of making music and the social issues that have often plagued Texas’ largest city. In Lance’s hands, he deftly combines these elements and illustrates why Houston hip-hop is both enduring and singular in its sound.

As for music, I play tunes from Mike Jones featuring Slim Thug and Paul Wall, The Convicts and D. Rose & DJ Cozmos featuring D. Randle. The Sour Hour airs Wednesday nights, 9/8c, on KPFT HD2.

In this the second edition of Talk So Real with Matt Sonzala, Matt sits down with Lance Scott Walker, author of the Houston Rap Tapes book(s) - live at Complete Culture in Austin, Texas. The two engage in some real talk about Houston rap and their travels through the scene. Coming up in punk rock, metal and whatever other music they loved, being in Houston, rap music was inescapable. It was there. Everywhere. In every car, in every apartment, in so many of the spots, Houston rap, music made specifically in the neighborhood you were in at that moment, was everywhere. And Thank God for it. Anyway, this podcast almost didn't come out as Matt's fat ass sounded like a wheezing pigs about to die in his chair. For some reason the mic picked up every breath Matt took and it literally sounded gross. Like it would hurt your earholes to listen to the original recording. So big ups to Bailey Morrison, Digital Media Producer and Direct Promotions Manager for @utexaspress for editing out my dying breaths. I can't believe this thing is coming out and I am so thankful to her. Follow her everywhere please (online not like some stalker dude) @Bailsmog and check out www.baileymorrison.com please, today, thanks. Enjoy the talk and don't be afraid to leave me a comment to say that I talk too much. Also my fat ass just joined Richard Lord's boxing gym so hopefully that will help with future wheeze outs. ANYWAY ENJOY AND THANK YOU FOR LISTENING PLEASE TELL A FRIEND TO TELL A FRIEND.

Writer Lance Scott Walker has collected stories and interviews from Houston's rappers, DJs, producers, promoters, and record label owners since 2005. In the new amplified edition of his book HOUSTON RAP TAPES, he includes new photographs and interviews (Scarface, Slim Thug, Lez Moné, B L A C K I E, Lil’ Keke, and Sire Jukebox of the original Ghetto Boys), plus custom maps of Houston that highlight major landmarks for the city's hip-hop culture. Recorded on DJ Screw's birthday, this conversation addresses how police corruption and gentrification have impacted the Houston neighborhoods that gave birth to Houston rap, tracing the scene from early rap battles among Raheem, Willie D, and Vanilla Ice to the up-and-coming H-Town artists making beats and rhymes today. We also cover the complexities of gangsta rap, the women who shaped the scene and are making music on their own terms, and the impact of the late DJ Screw.

I head back over to Brooklyn -- hipster country -- to holla at another Crizzlecast guest. Today, I'll be speaking with Lance Scott Walker, the former Houstonian who wrote for a lot of Houston-based publications before heading over to the East Coast to make it as a writer and musician. We talk about his great moments in Houston freelancing, his musical side project the White Papers and the two books he'll be releasing on Houston hip-hop. Yes, sir -- he's an accomplished author, musician AND he's married to the chick from Elysian Fields. Thank God he lives in Brooklyn -- I have this incredible urge to hit him with a brick just for having it so good! Ah well.
