UK Drill//Trap/Afroswing/social deprivation glorification

guess if you want to have some form of commercial success you can’t talk about cheffing people 24/7. RV’s also older than a lot of the newcomers so would be good to see him branch out a bit. headie one has made the transition quite nicely although I don’t rly rate his latest output with fred again.

this is so good man. any other stuff you know on a similar vibe instrumental wise?

a lot of drill is very formulaic unfortunately. some of the fresher beats imho:

cgm - 10+1 (prod by katmandu, same as ko - this one)

digdat & aitch - ei8ht mile (has been posted before I’m sure)

Mad how most of the OG road rap dons have completely fallen off the map. K Koke, Margs, Joe Black, Fix Dot’m, Jaja Soze… think Giggs and maybe Blade Brown are the only ones left from that era who are still relevant today.

new unknown T album. some bangers on there:

How drill vs general rap is it

whats ur preferred ratio?

Whatever as long as it’s good but for most drill rappers I’d expect it to be better if they kept the drum beats drill at least

All the random American rap/Afro/r&b type tunes from drill guys mostly are bad

mostly drill I’d say but a few commercially oriented rap tracks (there’s a young adz feature for example). had to skip through a few tracks because they sound a bit samey. also the lyrical content is rather repetitive at times (the usual stuff you’d expect from drill: whack whack, splashings & chingings). but then again we’re not listening to conscious rap :cornlol:

his GRM daily is pretty good tho, guy’s definitely talented

Ppl talk shit about drake being a vulture but whenever he jumps on smth I just hear love for the style, nothing cynical. Ofc it is a bit funny how much he likes to pose hard on these tracks but fuck it

Mixed pretty badly for smth with drake on btw

mix sounds fucking awful lol

feel a bit embarrassed for not realising what’s bad about that mix

Drakes voice mainly

sounds like his voice was recorded thru or phone or something lol, compressed and distorted to fuck

the snare too sounds like it has passed through 5 youtube reaction videos layered on top of eachother.
