Drillminister addresses Drill music criticism with quotes from UK MP's on "Political Drillin"
With UK Drill music being monitored more than ever, rapper Drillminister uses quotes from UK Members of Parliament on his new track "Political Drillin".
Drillminister's "Political Drillin" arrives after Met police linked the UK drill music to real life threats and gang violence, resulting in 30 videos being removed from YouTube.
"Political Drillin" hits back at Drill music criticism by utilising comments from multiple Members of Parliament in a compelling drill-style track.
Channel 4 commissioned the track, providing the drill MC with relatively gruesome quotes used by MP's.
The description on Channel 4's YouTube says, "It's been blamed by politicians and police for inciting violence - the soundtrack to a surge in knife crime. MPs have accused Drill artists of "glorifying violence". But are Parliamentarians in any position to lecture them - after a week of distasteful, anonymous briefings about metaphorically knifing Theresa May? We asked one drill artist to record those words in his own style - to see how they come across in a very different context."
