Brooklyn drill is a regional subgenre of drill music, which is a subgenre of rap music. It centered in Brooklyn, New York, that began as derivative of the drill music scene in Chicago and later became derivative of UK drill with its 808 percussion and sliding notes by producers from the UK drill scene.[1][2][3] Brooklyn drill emerged around 2014 with the single "Hot Nigga" from the rapper Bobby Shmurda.[4][5] Other early contributors were Rowdy Rebel, Bam Bino, Money Millz, Dah Dah and Curly Savv.[6]
In 2019, the subgenre was repopularized in the mainstream by rap artist, Pop Smoke.[7][8][9] With the success of his mixtapes, particularly the songs "Dior" and "Welcome to the Party", Pop Smoke introduced Brooklyn drill into the mainstream music industry.[10][11][12]
