This’n?

Why bally up and hide your face when your tatts can easily identify you to the old bill?

Harkat · September 15, 2019, 9:38am

it was another video where you could glimpse he had a fucking AK in it, probably why it got taken down

and yh some drill rappers go mask on in videos but occasionally show their face on insta too

Watched a few of their/his videos this morn. Most have guns in em tbf
I love the disclaimer at the beginning of each video. Like that’s going to stand up in court if they get arrested!

Also.

what is up with those disclaimers? that is not gangsta… or is it?

sleeps · September 16, 2019, 10:51pm

Cuz the police are coming for drill artists so I suppose the disclaimer gives them an out.
An excuse like It’s just art or something.

Harkat · September 17, 2019, 9:44am

loads of rap videos on the US side have that disclaimer too where the guns arent even illegal, its a precaution

theres still cases of videos getting uploaded leading to mass arrests. IIRC everyone in this video got done

Harkat · September 17, 2019, 9:11pm

this castro kid is some proper Nas of this scene, painting pictures

sleeps · September 18, 2019, 5:51pm

That first one is a banger

khybot · September 23, 2019, 1:42pm

wierd, legally. I mean, music is always a mix of reality and fantasy.

khybot · September 23, 2019, 1:48pm

didn’t realize. It seems sort of obvious though, that if you are promoting yourself as a gangster, and chances are they are or are affiliated, the police might take notice.

legally, I don’t think the disclaimer matters, at least in the US, it’s probably more of a public service to impressionable youngsters.

Thanks for putting me on to this guy - v.good

Harkat · December 24, 2019, 8:54pm

lol been tryna sell people on this dude for months to no avail, big up

Unknown and Final Stories are amazing tunes, very bittersweet but cold at the same time

Muncey · December 25, 2019, 6:09am

Is he still around? So hard to keep up with who’s dead/in jail. Seems like most of these drill guys do music 2nd and are genuine street guys 1st.

When is mizormac suppose to be released?
