The Sound of Korean Drill

“The Sound of Korean Drill” gathers the raw intensity and streetwise energy of Korea’s emerging drill scene. With heavy 808s, ominous production, and icy flows, the playlist showcases a lineup of artists who bring regional flavor to a global subgenre. Tracks like “Benchpress” by RB NINE and Don Mills and “Freaky” by King Quan and YLN Foreign highlight the aggressive, no-nonsense lyricism common to drill, while NSW yoon’s appearances across several tracks show his strong presence in the movement.

The playlist moves from gritty ensemble collaborations like “GTFO” and “Pull Up” to darker solo cuts like “Yeongcheon” by Slim 9lock or “Gone Too Far” by Luka Lavish. There’s a balance of underground grit and polished production, with contributions from known names like Chillin Homie and SUPERBEE mixed with rising acts like heroincity, GGM Soulja, and Festy Wxs. Whether it's the moody vibe of “Dissonance” with AKMU or the head-nodding rhythms of “Racks On Racks,” the playlist paints a clear picture of how drill has adapted to the Korean music landscape.
