The past year has seen the London-based Euro drill genre cross-pollinate with a slew of local European scenes including Germany, Italy, and France—all producing beats with the traditional UK drill sound: snaky hi-hats, murky textured melody loops, and huge, gliding 808 subs.
As the essence of British drill spreads, it's ushering in a new generation of artists following in the footsteps of modern drill pioneers such as Digga D and Unknown T. We've seen Obladaet combine British and Russian drill culture with “David Beckham”. The 24-year-old Barcelona-based rapper, Skinny Flex is making big waves in the emerging Spanish drill scene with his relentless flow and charismatic delivery. Although Freeze Corleone has been a popular presence in the French rap scene since 2011, he's seen an explosion in success more recently due to his adoption of rapping over drill beats. These are just a few examples of how UK drill has spread its influence around the globe. How will you use these samples to craft your own style?
