#GW21 Groundworks Cypher 2021: Horrid1, Unknown T, Kilo Jugg, KO, AB, Jimmy, Trapx10, ZK, V9 & more - great energy in this one. Of course drill is US music originally but you look at something like this and the vibes are more like UK nuum type music to me

Central Cee - Daily Duppy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBXZtSEGJ1s

M24 - Exotic

Digga D X StillBrickin - Pump 101 - 00s US rap inspired track, with a Scouse rapper on it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj8T_ElFJNI

Suspect (AGB) - Freestyle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=404amhmDygQ

Nito NB - Plugged In W/Fumez The Engineer - people are saying this'll be Nito's last track, one of the drill GOATs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka-9qAxdn4E

T Scam X E1 X Nito NB X Workrate x Skorebeezy - Plugged In W/Fumez The Engineer

HAZEY - Packs and Potions - when I first heard this I could only listen for about thirty seconds because of the accent but it's really grown on me, possibly because I watched The Responder and it's increased my tolerance for Scouseness. It's hella catchy and contains a lot of football references even for a drill track. Khedira must be fuming

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuWUTsIBx5Q

(OOAK) Russ Millions x Buni x YV - Reggae & Calypso - this beat is wild, it's almost like The Bug doing drill

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cd249MDLzQ

M Huncho - Warzone ft. Headie One - these two work really well together

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLj9YCI3fuA

Dave - In The Fire (ft. Giggs, Ghetts, Meekz & Fredo) (Live at The BRITs 2022) - Dave plays the piano and then a guitar solo, shoots flames out of said guitar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjgw95kd8Js

Silencer - Grime Ain't Dead Feat. Dizzee Rascal - it just smells funny. Seriously, not many MCs in any genre that have been performing at this level 20 years after they started

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulM64qHGth8

Lady Leshurr - Likkle Darling - it's not grime or rap, it's dancehall. But still

love this, central cee - eurovision ft. lots of people

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlnLvLDP4Zg

Loving everything about “Eurovision”, now all Central Cee (or the BBC) has to do is cut one minute and it’s off to Milan to represent the UK!

If you had to send one drill rapper to Eurovision it would probably be Central Cee, the lad's got mass appeal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVWsP3IadBk

Dave - Starlight - so good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFWwXlxcGxY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK9Tey-I1sY

M1llionz - NGL

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtSP7Rl5yNE

Tion Wayne x M24 – Knock Knock Remix (ft Hazey, Sneakbo, Turner, Mist, Jordan & Trillz CB) - lots of accents

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqrDcVt49x4

Digga D - Main Road - Digga's new mixtape isn't his best work but it's still good. Only heard about half of it tbh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewpG7XQKr24

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8oQwM5iJWs

Russ Millions x Buni x YV x CH x SwitchOTR x GAZO x Rose Real - Reggae & Calypso RMX - one of the best songs of the year so far gets a remix with a French driller brought along for the fun

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_83AOaZ3Iyg

Benzz - Je M'appelle - this is nuts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4Dih99NAj8

Knucks ft. SL - Nice & Good - a bit more laid back than your average drill tune

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E88h_pzT1KA

Bugzy Malone - Daily Duppy - Bugzy Malone's a bit hit or miss for me, definitely one of his stronger efforts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7pj_Gek42M

M Huncho - Daily Duppy - I feel the same way about this one really

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nONX7VqIko

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ujaa3ar4hCA

Jnr Choi, M24, G Herbo - TO THE MOON (Video) ft Fivio Foreign, Russ Millions, Sam Tompkins - one of my fave recent US rap songs gets a drill remix

Chinx (OS) - Plugged In W/ Fumez The Engineer

Giggs x Tion Wayne - Suffer - Tion's been a busy bee this year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_Ax2Zp92p0

Lethal Bizzle x Giggs x #A92 DBO - Dapper Dan - never thought I'd see Lethal and Giggs on a track with an Irish rapper, but here we are

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUfM9fLSiSY
