Not just the rest of his music, a lot of other UK artists music as well hence the “bridging the gap” bar at the start. He’s really putting everyone on.

Facts

Facts, guys nowadays get their fun lil hits but if they don’t step up the lyrics they fall right off

Fr. I'm not even British but the most successful drill artists I see, have great word play and their bars are clever. And the unsuccessful drill artists I see have basic rhyme schemes, basic flows and don't use wordplay

There's plenty of people that blow up that don't have good lyrics

@@scarymax7010 in UK? Nah very rarely

Think he’s Canadian still

Tbf, I doubt anyone's gonna complain that he let the yanks know that tolit ment restroom

Great way to put it, man. I’m from the Midwest in the US so I’ve always been into Chicago drill, and later on New York drill.. but I’ve always felt UK drill hit different. I always knew why but I couldn’t really articulate it well. Your comment sums it up perfectly! I’m hoping that the more UK artists get attention and clout over here, it will push US drill artists to be better. Knives sharpen knives kinda thing

For real. But US is dead compared to glory days. Too commercial. Too clean. Too polished. UK is raw. Creative, genuine and if you’re a record industry creation (ahem..Drake) you get no respect here. Whole world is low-key obsessed with UK street culture right now. US are last ones to recognise but understandable. Used to be nothin but US and everyone else copied. No more tho

@@ScramTek facts

@@ScramTekYou’ve got a point, but I’d argue that the reason for the great impact of UK culture when it comes to drill is because it’s a very welcoming melting pot for multiple diasporas. It’s not just necessarily down to what historically native Englishmen are doing or have done. Maybe that’s what the essence of UK culture is or means in current times. But the reason it has a lot of pull, especially with the drill scene, is that it heavily pulls from Jamaican culture, a lot from the rest of the Carribean, Arabic culture, Somalis, Nigerians, Ghanaians. It’s very palatable for Aussie and New Zealand fans, South African fans, and Canadians connect with it heavily etc. You can just tell by the slang and lingo used, some of the beats, or even the ethnicities/origins of the rappers. US drill is very New York or Chicago-centric, and if you’re not from those cities it’s hard to capture a world-wide audience. I for one grew up in the Midwest US. I like Fivio, Pop, Santana, Keef, Sheff, Flock etc. But My parents are African, I’m of African descent, the bars hit harder when it’s lingo you can relate with or people you can relate to. So I prefer Headie, Digga, Loski, Cee etc. Once the US drill scene realizes or accepts that they have to embody more of worldwide culture to their music and develop that connection with fanbases that don’t necessarily live in NYC or Chicago. They’ll definitely put up a much better competition against the UK scene.

@@carl1415 I hear you. And not disagreeing. But the US is so insular. Whether commercial hip-hop/conscious rap/drill/boom-bap etc they all suffer from a lack of awareness of music outside of their scene. Especially foreign music. There’s loads of US talent but they’re getting left behind. Not that it matters much cos the US is always gonna be biggest music market in the world. UK drill was obvs kickstarted by London youth looking stateside and emulating the music/mentality. But UK drill rocketed past US drill long ago. US drill has barely changed. And the changes have come from copying UK. UK hip-hop used to flat-out copy the US in early 90s, even down to UK rappers trying to sound American. Speed Garage came out of Jungle scene. Grime came out of Speed Garage scene. Drill came out of Grime scene. Now, the UK has grown up and copies no one. I think the US has to go through it’s own evolution once they accept and respect foreign artists. Next few years will be interesting, wherever you’re from and whatever you’re into

peng? 🤦🏽‍♂️
