Solange's 'When I Get Home' Gets a Chopped and Screwed Rework

Hear The Chopped-and-Screwed Version of Solange's 'When I Get Home'

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

The Chopstars salute Solange's new album with a never-slopped rework.

With her 2019 album, When I Get Home, Solange tipped her ten-gallon hat to her hometown of Houston. And today, the city's Chopstars send one back.

The Houston production collective (comprising OG Ron C, DJ Candlestick, and Slim K,) has treated When I Get Home to a requisite chopped (never slopped) remix, sedating the album's 19 tracks with twisted time stretches and bent, but never broken, pitches. The Solange salute follows recent recalibrations of 2019 projects from Take Off, Future, and Smino. Earlier this year, they worked with Barry Jenkins on a Houston-stamped companion to If Beale Street Could Talk, blending elements from the film's score with their own warped-to-a-crawl takes on modern and hall-of-fame soul standards.
