Check out the Weekly Album Club thread over at [email protected] if you have some free time and want to check out something different. No proper affiliation, I just think it is neat that they are doing this too!
If you liked that pitched down vocal style, you should check out some of DJ Screw’s old stuff. His remix’s are basically what popularized that sound.
You also might like some Three 6 Mafia, as they were influenced by that style.
I have heard a little bit of DJ Screw.
Three 6’s Mystic Stylez has been a favourite for a long time, but I didn’t care for much else I had heard from them. Open to listening some more though. Do you have any album recommendations for either?
I’m on mobile so I can’t do links at the moment, but if you liked Mystic Stylez you might like “Chapter One: The End”, that is probably the closest album they did to that. Maybe “Underground Volume One”, specifically tracks like “Now I’m High, Really High” and “Ridin in the Chevy” from the start of the album lean in to that slowed down sound.
Not as sure about DJ screw. Ive heard his mixes over the years but I can’t say I’ve ever dated down and listened to a whole album.
I’ll start with those. Thank you!
