In the early 2010s, hip-hop
was forever changed
as a new rap offshoot
was born in Chicago, Illinois.
Since this era-defining
movement, drill music has reached
every corner of the globe as artists
adapt to the prominent sound to tell their depictive,
brutally honest stories
of street life.
As countries like the US and the UK have seen drill music rise to commercial
success, the rest of the world has taken notice.
The Asakaa movement
shined a global
spotlight on Ghana’s
second-largest city – Kumasi, by bringing Ghanaian
drill music to the world stage. Created
and coined by Sean Lifer’s
Life Living Records
imprint, the sub-genre
has transcended the country and continent and continues to expand the rich cultural
lineage of Ghanaian
music.
