While drill music, a subgenre of hip-hop, has propelled some to stardom, police say the deaths of aspiring New York City drill rappers and those in the drill community over the last year point to gun violence.
Several music executives talk to Eyewitness News about the controversy surrounding New York's rap subgenre known as drill music.Music executives say Chalim Perry, better known as his stage name Sha EK, is an emerging voice in the New York City drill music scene."It changed my life," says Sha EK to Eyewitness News. "I used to wake up wanting to do mad stuff I'm not supposed to to be doing. Now I wake up and say that's not even worth it.
"Now, when you hear drill music in New York, you feel like it's ours. And I feel like Pop Smoke was the face of that," he added.
