[@PScaio]

Jay i've seen you nail almost every music genre possible... I'd love to see you cook up a lofi/chillhop beat. It's my main genre righr now and you are one of my biggest inspirations/teachers, so this would be like a dream for me!!! You're the best man

[@askhatsv]

west coast vibe is something special u kno

[@ES92-]

and that ain't it

[@Weak_Hand]

That is so Snoop Dogg style! 💪💪💪💪💪

[@Rookslife]

Deffo more west coast vibes. Loved the dr dre type beat. You could do loads of nice Scott’s storch sounding stuff but with your twist on it. They would be so sick

[@johndav_iD]

I don't think you should stray so far from drill that it's rare you do a video with it. There are still many genre fusions to experiment with and further within the style like Rock, Soul, Funk, EDM, afrofusion, hood trap and different forms of house music like synthwave, UK garage, hardstyle, Jersey club & psytrance. The possibilities are endless

[@JayCactusTV]

Don't worry bro the drill vids aren't stopping, most of my videos are still drill

[@scarlette-sd3tm]

drill boring as hell though

[@johndav_iD]

@@scarlette-sd3tm If you make it that way. The possibilities of what people can do with drill beats is just starting to be explored. Don't write it off so easily.

[@fakhir-]

Sheeeeshhh🥶🥶

[@prodbypoker]

I dare him to make Russ Millions bounce with the triplet hats and the mad kicks 🔥☝️

[@johndav_iD]
