“Drilling” ahead and pioneering a new genre of music

1

By Jonathon Winkler

Like a bad cavity, Drill is drilling the shit out of the tooth decaying hip hop scene.   With tracks coming from young talent like Lil Bibby and Lil Herb (new release just last month), maybe it is a sign of the time that hip hop is making a drastic swerve away from the Mickey Mouse hip hop club that is currently destroying everything that was once dangerous and anti-authoritative.  With government backed artists like Jay-Z, everything was looking rather docile and lacking bite (you’re not supposed to be part of the system, you’re supposed to fight the system!? Duh!! )  Maybe Drill is a sign that these over the hill hip hop artists need to take a back seat and let some fresh talent with youthful anger, guns, drugs, street knowledge, and aggression take the wheel. Better yet, these young punks need to push these old hip hop fucks out of the car altogether.  Time the youth reclaim what is rightfully theirs.

This new genre, Drill, emerging from “Chiraq” (Chicago) in the last few years, is something to be on the lookout for as rescuers of the hip-hop scene.  From the looks of it, Drill is still in its infancy; garnishing a few thousand listens here and there on youtube.com.  Albums with amazing titles like, “Free Crack” by Lil Bibby and “Welcome to Fazoland” by Lil Herb, illustrate a possible renaissance of that dirty ghetto gangster music we all loved in our youth.  After hearing musicians that are boring us to death in this culture of softness; maybe Drill is just what we need as a backlash against this. It is about time we had some tracks about the streets, misogyny, gun violence, hatred towards authority (especially police), and drugs.  That is what America is all about because it’s fun and youthful to offend the easily offendable and push some boundaries. 

Drill is showing the roughness of the streets of Chicago’s ghettos.  Enough of the R&B, rap and bullshit, it’s time hip hop stopped with the political correctness/ conscious hip-hop garbage and got back on the band wagon of being dirty, ghetto, truthful, youthful, rude, and showing a middle finger to the overarching boring milieu that permeates everything.  Most of all, making the genre fun again!  In comparison, it is the same way as how NWA used to make cops shutter back in the day; Drill is a sign of a new exciting movement and movements that it will spark.  Things seemed a bit boring in the music industry now; Drill might just shake it up a bit.  We can only pray and hope this new genre will take off in new directions and spark some new off-shoot genres that are just as rewarding.  In this author’s humble opinion, it’s some of the best and original stuff to come out of any music scene in the last few years.

Solid track here:

The Best Music Video Creators In Colorado

colorado music video makers creators videographers

Let’s face it, there’s a different caliber of people in all professions. Some are just hobbyists and then you have your experts. Your professionals who have dedicated countless hours to perfecting their craft.

When it comes to making music videos, you have countless options, but only a few of those options can do more than just point and shoot. As an artist, you should want and need a videographer who knows how to turn your song into a visual story that appeals to the masses. Anything less is probably just a waste of time and money.

Of course, you can work with whoever the hell you want, but considering the odds are already stacked against you, it would be advantageous to your career to release visuals that enhance your image and make some random bloke in Canada replay your video 10 times before he finally realizes he’s hooked.

There are countless videographers and video production studios in Colorado for you to choose from. But, we made it easy for you to pick. Here’s an ongoing list of who WE plan on working with to create music videos for the artists we partner with in the near future.

None of these people are our friends or cousins, they’re just dope people who do dope work. So, if you think we left someone out, post a link to their work in the comments so we can add them.

You definitely have the tools and platforms available to make it mainstream these days, but you won’t if you’re living in a box.

It’s important that you network and make yourself and your music known across all reaches of the internet and of course your own backyard. Enter the ClubHouse App. The latest social media app to take the world by storm.

If you don’t know what it is, take a few minutes to watch this video.

Some nights I’ll be up at 2am working on a project and a music mogul starts a room, invites his or her friends, and next thing you know they’re allowing artists to demo their music for current or future opportunities.

Every money-making opportunity I’ve received in the past three years has been a result of the relationships I’ve established years or months prior.

In fact, how many times have you listened to the come-up story of one of your favorite recording artist or producer and they mention how “so and so” plugged them in?

Networking is one of the easiest catalysts you can add to your music marketing plan.
