Over the past five or six years the Texas based musical art form known the world over as screw music has exploded on the hip hop scene. Screw music and the culture it spawn has given light to an abundance of hip hop super stars such as Paul Wall, Chamillionare and Slim Thug and made screw DJs major players in the rap game. One the genreâs biggest and brightest stars are Beltway 8, whose mix tapes have been circulating through the South and the mid west since 1999. Since the tragic demise of its founder DJ Screw, Beltway 8 has been one of the crews that has picked up the torch and carried the chopped and screw music into the new millennium. âWhen screw music started there only three cats that were doing it. First and foremost it was DJ Screw. He started it off. Then there was Michael Watts and Swishahouse. We are the last crew from that original era. That is why it is important that we carry this thing on.â Beltway 8 started seven years ago when its founder/producer Mike Moe, a native of Houstonâs 3rd Ward who dabbled in music, was laid off from his nine-to-five at Bettis Corporation. He received the tragic news when he was walking on the job to put in another day of hard work. âJust as they were escorting me out the building a fellow worker said donât forget about God when you make it in your music.â The admonishment would prove to be more of a prophecy that a reminder. But before he could achieve that goal God had a few more test for him to face. Shortly after being laid off Mike marriage fell apart, he lost his home, his car and practically everything else he owned. Like the proverbial Job in the Bible things were grim, but Mike kept the faith. He soon landed back on his feet, moved to Prairie View, Texas rented a trailer and enrolled in Prairie View A & M University. He also decided to get back into his music.âI took a $463.00 check, a Walmart microphone, a Best Buy mixer, a double tape deck and started recording students at Prairie View A & M,â recalls Mike. âI started skipping class so I could post up at the cafeteria and sell screw tapes featuring all of the latest music plus freestyles from his some of college buddies who were tight on the mic.âIn no time Mike Mo became the man on campus. His mix tapes were selling so well that his market expanded into the various hoods of Prairie View and surrounding areas. At the suggestion of one of his fellow students Mike decided to call his operation Belt Way 8 because he represented all side of Houston and belt way 8 surrounds the entire city âthe name fit perfectly Although Mike was learning a lot about street corner salesmanship, guerilla marketing and hood promotions he wasnât learning much in class. Ironically it would be classroom dispute with a fellow student that would inspire him to pursue his passion full time. âI was in class and these girls were in there rambling about nothing. I said to them hey, why donât you all stop rambling and stick to the subject at hand. One of them shot back why donât you leave class and go sell your tapes. I walked out and never looked back.âLeaving school allowed Mike and his crew to travel and sell their music throughout Texas and the Deep South. In less than three years Mike Mo had made Belt Way 8 one of the biggest names in chop and screw music. According to him Beltway 8âs fan base had grew to include Louisiana, Okalahoma, Mississippi, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio and Virginia. His mix tapes were selling in the thousands and popular tapes like the breakthrough mix 14th Day, the Screwston Series ...
