Florida drill is a hip-hop subgenre characterized by its heavy, plodding beats, often produced with a dark, melodic quality. Emerging in the mid-2010s, particularly in South Florida, the genre draws inspiration from Chicago drill's raw energy and Atlanta's trap scene. Vocal styles range from Kodak Black-esque melodic flows to more aggressive, street-oriented deliveries. Florida drill gained popularity between 2018 and 2022, with many artists achieving mainstream success. The genre's cultural significance lies in its authentic representation of Florida's urban youth, addressing themes of poverty, violence, and street life. Florida drill is distinct from other drill styles due to its fusion of melodic sensibilities with the gritty, street-oriented ethos of traditional drill, setting it apart from its Chicago and Brooklyn counterparts.
