Drill FR

Description

Gazo’s voice is just like him: rough, deep and menacing. It is also one of the most prominent in the French drill wave, the rap subgenre that ravaged everything in its path in France in 2020, and which saw a swarm of young rappers try to make a name for themselves in it. Drill, let’s talk about it. Gazo is one of the few French artists who, in addition to making this sound their own, become guardians of its spirit by drawing inspiration from the English spearheads, and of course from the original Chicago drill. But a debate is raging: only those who have lived through hardship would be worthy of practicing it. At least with Gazo, there is no room for discussion. Since childhood, he has learned the hard way. In the street, and in the studios where he spends his nights, driven by the need to create and by necessity. The DNA of his first mixtape is mainly made up of penetrating bass, frantic hi-hats and dark lyrics telling the story of the rapper’s authenticity and the violence surrounding him. Drill, in short. The scene is set, crystal clear, as if to show that in our parts, this music belongs to him and that the public is ready to welcome, on February 26, his new mixtape, aptly titled Drill FR.
