The Transformative Time of UK Drill: M1llionz is Leading a New Rap Era

“M1llionz’s arrival as a rap force has coincided with a transformative time in UK drill. A period where the genre is slowly readapting from its controversial origin of booming sonics and cruddy subject matter – 67’s ‘Let’s Lurk’ and Headie One X RV’s ‘Know Better’ for example - to producing palatable chart-toppers that retain their tough exterior but ready made for mainstream consumption ala Russ and Tion Wayne’s history-making number one single ‘Body’. This isn’t what the authorities who demonised drill wanted, but it rose regardless.”
