These were the first Drill Rappers that didnt spend the entire interview trying to talk down on others. But instead spent the time uplifting each other, speaking positively about life, Tommy g and even seemed genuinely excited and appreciative for the future to come. Because of all of that and the fact they seem hella cool, down to earth, respectful and incredible artist. I wish em the best. I cant wait to see him and his whole crew blow up huge. Great video and interview Tommy G, for sure the first person Ive seen cover drill rap and expose people to some of the positives of it and the incredible musicians in it instead of just tryin to capitalize on on the murder and beefs in it. Well fuckin done bro, and I wish all of em nothing but the best.

The real creator of drill music is actually Waka Flocka. Chief Keef made it popular but he even said in an interview when he first came out that he was heavily inspired by Waka’s music. If you look back at Waka old music you’ll find the drill type beats and cadence in the music before anyone knew what drill was.

I guess they don't view littering as bad in the same way many of us do. They probably grew up around people that littered and most inner cities have trash everywhere to begin with so it probably seems like an insignificant thing to throw one more piece of trash on the ground if you were raised that way. Not saying that makes it okay to litter but maybe they don't view it as disrespectful in the same way we do.

Your videos just go to show that we all share so much in common and can get along with one another as long as you approach with permission and respect. Compassion and love are missing from most poor city areas, and the government doesn’t want to do anything productive to change the environments that manifest violent crimes. Decriminalize drugs, provide public healthcare for all, and create job training programs, and violent crime will decline. It’s sad that people have to fear going to certain neighborhoods because they can’t relate to people who don’t live like they do. Keep bridging the gap Tommy
