Why Have So Many Countries Adopted Drill Rap?

Season 4 Episode 4

Drill music started in Chicago over a decade ago and has since spread to cities across the world. In this video, we'll take a closer look at how London's drill music scene was heavily influenced by the raw energy and dark lyrics of Chicago drill music like Lil Durk and Chief Keef. We'll also examine how London producers, in turn, inspired the drill sound in New York City.
