Swedish Drill

Swedish drill is a sub-genre of the broader drill music scene, originally rooted in Chicago's rap culture, but it finds its unique identity in the suburbs of Stockholm where many artists with immigrant backgrounds have used it to voice their experiences and struggles. It incorporates aggressive, dark, and gritty beats with a foreboding sense of melody, overlaid by rappers delivering their lyrics in a mix of Swedish and sometimes a slang-heavy patois. Artists synonymous with the genre such as Dizzy, Z.E, and Dree Low are known for their raw, unfiltered narratives that convey tales of street life, identity, and survival, often marked by a defiant and resilient attitude. The usage of coded language and references to local areas are characteristic, reflecting the culturally diverse yet challenging environments from which this sound emerged, resonating with the experiences of many young Swedes today.
