Russian Drill

Russian drill is a gritty and simmering subgenre of hip-hop that has emerged from the frigid depths of Russia's urban landscape. Marrying the ominous, trap-infused beats characteristic of Chicago drill with the distinctive multi-syllabic rhymes and hard-hitting cadences of Russian rap, the genre is a raw, unfiltered expression of the country's street culture and youth defiance. Artists like MAYOT and OG Buda typify the scene with their brooding lyricism and bass-heavy production that echoes the stark realities and brash attitudes of Russia's post-Soviet reality. It's a sound that's as cold and relentless as the Russian winter, yet pulsating with the fiery energy of a new generation eager to imprint their identity on the global hip-hop canvas.
