Moscow17 is a London-based collective primarily associated with the UK drill music scene, which has risen to prominence since the mid-2010s. The group has been an influential part of the South London drill landscape, a subgenre known for its dark, trap-influenced beats and often stark lyrical content reflecting life in urban environments. Moscow17 has particularly made a name in the district of Kennington, which is often referenced in their lyrics. Their music gives voice to the gritty reality of street life, entwined with the aspirational tones of escaping the cyclical nature of violence and poverty.
Their recent tracks, such as "Prays with Crasis," "Lean," and "Truth," continue to showcase Moscow17's raw and unfiltered approach to music-making, featuring poignant lyricism underscored by atmospheric beats. The group has faced its share of controversy, with numerous incidents that highlighted the contentious relationship between UK drill music and law enforcement. Despite these challenges, Moscow17 remains a resilient force in the genre, often addressing the struggles and triumphs of inner-city youth in their work. Their music not only serves as a diary of life on the streets but also propels forward the creative and expressive potential of the UK drill scene.
