Drill has never stayed still for long. Chicago’s Chief Keef was the genre’s obvious starting point, joined alongside the likes of G Herbo, Lil Durk and many more in the 2010s. Over on the East Coast, Bobby Smurda’s “Hot N**ga” gave drill music legs in New York, followed by Pop Smoke, Sleepy Hallow and 22Gz breathing a second life into the sound. At the same time, U.K. artists like Digga D have taken it in a completely different direction, both lyrically and production-wise.
