In fact, Drill was in all types of places outside the USA; Drill was bigger outside the USA than it was in the USA

the "sound" you're talking about is just an evolution of a subset of Chicago Drill as made by Dj L





so no matter how you cut it, it all goes back to Chicago, whether it's foundational Chi Drill or the DJ L variant sound that also came from Chicago


Throughout the decade, Chatham’s own DJ L has been Chicago’s best-kept secret when it comes to beats. Despite his low-key presence, his dark and frantic production style managed to spread from Chicago across the pond in the United Kingdom, which directly influenced U.K. drill. And it all kicked off with Lil Bibby and G Herbo’s viral breakout duet “Kill shyt.”

Earlier in 2019, DJ L landed another viral hit with Lil Uzi Vert’s “Free Uzi” and as mentioned before, his sound was one of the driving inspiration behind UK drill.

I just told you why: The UK outside of being influenced by Chief Keef, they specifically picked up on a certain subset of Chi Drill's sonics as made by Dj L. Chi Drill started out as harder version of ATL Trap music but people like Dj L had a newer sound that the UK'ers would end up biting


UK Drill:




For this article I wanted to present a music genre that not everyone knows, or knows
well and understands its meaning and origins. This music genre is one of my all time favorites
and should clearly take its place in OIB culture as it is representing modern day british music!


First of all, to trace the origins of this mouvement, we should go back to the birth land of all HipHop

genres, the US, and, in this case, Chicago. In the early 2010’s, in the southside of the windy city, drill

music developed as a more violent style of “trap music”, very popular in the country at the time.

This music was based on trap beats but slower, and was composed of violent and dark lyrics,

showing the hard reality of gang life in Chicago’s south side ghetto.





The pioneers of this genre are (from left to right) Young chop the legendary producer who changed the

sound of hip hop at the time, Lil Reese, and most importantly Chief Keef, the rapper that made the

style blow up with his hits songs “I don’t like” and “Love Sosa”.



At the time, the genre was still exploiting instrumentals similar to trap beats, but with the help of

underground Dj “DJ L”, producing tracks for a young G Herbo named Lil Herb at the time, drill music

started to develop a new sound, that reappeared in London in 2012.


In 2012, in the London district of Brixton, UK drill music was born, but was slowly developed in the

underground scene until 2015, where the hard sound of uk drill influenced by Dj L
and afro beats that

we know today started to blow up, with artists such as Loski, Harlem Spartans, AM & Skendgo, Abrada

Cadabra. Since 2017, a huge number of Uk artist exploited this sound as a way to communicate the

hard lifestyle of poor communities in Great Britain.

DJ L variant of Chi Drill

UK Drill and Brooklyn Drill



straight from AXL beats (the guy that be making those beats for Pop Smoke etc...)


I’ve seen a lot of comments from people saying, “Oh, Drake made a grime song.” Can you break down what exactly drill is? And how it compares to grime?



Yeah. Grime is a whole different genre compared to drill. There’s some aspects of grime in UK drill, like the 808s, and you’ve got the slides and the fast-tempo snares. That’s kind of interacting with grime. But grime is different than drill. And the drill you’re hearing now, like the one Drake is on, is a mixture between grime and drill. DJ L, he created the sound. Shout out to him, he started off the sound. We took that sound and changed it to something else that’s way cleaner and neat. Something everyone could hop on. That’s the difference.
