UK drill emerged in South London in the early 2010s, drawing on Chicago drill and UK garage and grime, and spread worldwide through YouTube and social video in the late 2010s. Producers favour sliding 808s, often with a bass boost feel, swung hi-hats and cold piano or string samples, while MCs rap about street life in a direct, rhythmic flow. As the genre entered mainstream charts, short full-song clips like this began circulating on soundboards for reuse in fan edits and montages.
