The voice of Gazo is like his image: hoarse, deep, and threatening. He is also one of the most prominent figures of the French drill wave, a rap subgenre that wreaked havoc in France in 2020, and saw a swarm of young rappers trying to make a name for themselves. Let's talk about drill. Gazo is one of the few French artists who, in addition to appropriating this sound, become guarantors of its spirit by drawing inspiration from the English pioneers, and of course from the original drill of Chicago. But a heated debate rages: only those who have experienced hardships would be worthy of practicing it. At least, with Gazo, there is no possible discussion. Since his childhood, he has learned the hard way. In the streets, and in the studios where he spends his nights, driven by the need to create and by necessity. The DNA of his first mixtape mainly consists of penetrating bass, frantic hi-hats, and dark lyrics recounting the rapper's authenticity and the violence that surrounds him. Drill, in short. The setting is clear, as if to show that in our lands, this music is his and that the audience is ready to welcome on February 26, his new mixtape, simply titled Drill FR.
