Why do people make this stuff up. I was in Florida last month at my brothers wedding and the limo pulled up with Pop Smoke music blaring out of it.

These were all Florida people who never been to NY a day in their lives.


I got homies in DC who fukk with pop also and I know they do in Philly

Their views tell a different a story. You can’t get millions of views and only be known in your city or in this case borough.
Kendrick Lamar gets millions of views and no one is playing his shyt in the hood that often and I like Kendrick. I take back some stuff I said in my OG post because BK drill is played in Northeast cities Philly and NJ cities like Newark. So the "outta state" line could've been exaggerated. But... DMV, Georgia, North Carolina and Florida i.e states I constantly frequent and have FAMILY members there I hardly if ever hear Brooklyn drill music.

When Bobby gets out I can potentially see it exploding.

Kendrick Lamar is a horrible example. He’s a rapper who already solidified his career. Wether dudes in the hood don’t listen to him he was at one point arguably one of the hottest artist out.

:gucci:


And Florida I disagree with since I clearly heard a bunch of young people in a limo blasting it. Unless it’s a Haitian thing.

I don’t go to clubs no more so I can’t speak on GA!

Okay fine. Sheff G.


His videos get millions of views and yet I hardly hear many people outside of the Northeast bump his music. If they do they usually follow drill music religiously like some cats I know. And I'm a Sheff G fan btw.

Again different experiences. But for context the area in Florida I usually frequent are Orlando and sometimes Dade County but mainly the Orlando area. And matter addressing the bolded I HOPE you're aware that NY and Florida Haitians have a connection. Which is why Corey Finesse has love out there. I'm not tryna to dismiss Brooklyn Drill or anything but when it comes to big NYC sound I have not personal seen it moved beyond the Northeast borders. And I'm not one of these Coli weirdos who only stays indoors. When I go out to GA, Florida, NC and DMV cats I know(mainly fam) show me around to the nightspots especially when I'm out in ATL.

this is different than just NY but I’ll take that - The Northeast


You might be right about the connection but the connection to Florida does not seem so strong to me.

Could be a whole lot stronger if you ask me.

There's back and forth migrations between Haitians(and heck Caribbeans in general) between Dade County and New York. Kodak Black iirc is big among Haitians in Brooklyn I know because I use to hang around Flatbush ALOT and USE to live in Brooklyn for school(no longer but still go to school out there). Heck Bobby was originally from Florida. But like I said once Bobby gets out I can see Brooklyn drill exploding... THE CORRECT way and not how 69 did it smdh.

See what I mean? The connection is already there. But in Orlando I hardly seen the NY influence. Maybe down the line we will.

Atl is past the stage of having a run. Atl is pretty much the new hub of infrastructure.

that said Detroit got the best music dropping imo

Elaborate?

people are flooding to atl for networking purposes musically (atl before rap was a hub for r&b though due to laface records I will say, which naturally planted the seeds for rap). Used to be nyc.
