You will no doubt be overjoyed to find out there's an entire track in which he extrapolates upon the themes inherent in the old line "I had to have bare meetings with pricks". Complete with a fake ecclesiastical choir of JMEs singing "so many pricks" over a sombre organ sound.

Bad day for drill yesterday. SJ from OFB got life for murder and LD and ASAP from 67 got four years each for drugs. What a waste.

Dot Rotten's back and he gives Jay 1 what for with this one. Didn't get paid for a beat apparently. It's a shame Dot isn't bigger than he is, he's always been one of the best MCs/producers.

Have some drill. And an article about UK rappers from outside London and how some of them are doing rather well for themselves - https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/nov/15/a-funny-accent-draws-bare-attention-how-regional-rappers-stormed-the-charts

Aitch is a good rapper but there's something about him that gets on my nerves. He just seems like a wee dick.

The flow on that Dot Rotten Original Real Talk is gripping. I like the production better on Land of the Brave but I'd like to hear him riding some truly strong grime.

I think we need more Jamaican accents in drill

I also think that we need more drill songs about reality TV shows

Zone 2 have been putting in the work lately. 'No Censor' has gone a bit viral because it's the rudest drill track in some time. I'm thinking they must have known it would be taken down by the police right away and that that would get them some more attention. It keeps getting taken down and re-uploaded so there's no point linking it here but this reaction video in which ProdByWalkz looks progressively more horrified throughout the track has somehow stayed up. It's actually a decent tune and probably the least Christmassy thing you'll hear this year.
There's not been many drill songs taken down recently because MCs aren't naming names any more or they're getting edited out (saying that you mash work on opps etc is apparently fine, naming said opps and where they live will get your video removed). I don't know if this has had any effect on the levels of violence whatsoever.

Drake's made a UK drill tune and it's quite good. I think he's the first drill rapper to appear in the video wearing a balaclava or ski mask while actually taking part in winter sports
