Well obviously since thats who was hot at the time.chop , L and kenn were influenced by lex luger at the time, sure they had other influences but DJ L was making soul sampled tracks too , the type meek mll would rap on back in the days
but yeah the sound evolved
But drills unique rhythm pattern definitely comes from juke/footwork music
DJ L On Rise Of G-Herbo, Lil Bibby, Drill Rap's Impact, Future of Hip-HopDJ L is known for his hard-hitting, rapid-fire snare drum loops and ominous soundscapes that not only helped further define the sound of Drill music but modern day rap as well. The producer's sound was influenced by his marching band days, trap music and Chicago footwork.
“Like Bibby used to always say when he heard my beats: 'I need the footwork sound.' That influenced me as well as playing the drums because I was in the Bud Billiken parade four times doing the band sh*t,” he explains. “It was a mix between those two sounds and the trap sound. It was the trap Atlanta sound, and two Chicago sounds, the house music, juke sh*t and the marching band, drumline sh*t. That’s why [some of] my sh*t sounds like its clashing because I’m trying to get all three of my elements in. I want the kick and the feeling of the trap with the drums from the drumline --- and then you go into the feeling and the pace of the juke music.
