Brooklyn drill - the first new sound of New York in 20 years

“This was the first time in about 20 years that there’s been, like, a whole movement” says Funkmaster Flex about Brooklyn Drill, the first new sound of New York in two decades. The DJ and radio personality acknowledged to Complex that A-listers like Cardi B and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie have come from the city in recent years, but none of them emerged with a whole scene at their backs. “This ain’t happen since the times of Dipset and G-Unit” says journalist Jamel Robinson, Brooklyn rap’s on-the-ground documentarian. Two stand-out tracks - Pop Smoke’s 'Welcome to the Party' and Fivio Foreign’s 'Big Drip'.
