Houston, Texas- Houston is known worldwide for our rich culture in music, cars, arts, food and more. June 27th is a day that originated from the Screwed Up Click (SUC) freestyle that featured Original SUC Members, Big Moe, Bird, Demo, Key-C, Yungstar, Big Pokey, Haircut Joe & K-Luv. The freestyle took place at the legendary DJ Screw’s house in 1996. The song became a staple in the city for celebrating Houston. It has been sampled by Drake on his November 18th song.
