Krept & Konan: Drill got us off the streets

"If they’re blaming the music, then a lot of us wouldn’t be here – we’ve changed our lives, so it would be bad for us to watch them ban a form of music knowing that it’s how we got off the streets” Konan from the London drill rappers Krept & Konan tells the NME about their unfairly judged genre. “Every step is us getting closer to the goal of making people see that it’s a way out, instead of a reason why crime is happening. We’re heading in the right direction”, he added. Their new album 'Revenge is Sweet', is out. Clash Music writes highly of it: "They flourish when they branch out from self-congratulating lyrics and explore deeper themes, but the project is well balanced and full of emotion, both celebratory and reflective".
