Drill Music Means Gun Violence? NYC Mayor Wants To Do THIS Shocking Thing For Rap Subgenre [DETAILS]

With the sudden spike of death-related crimes in the Big Apple surrounding hip-hop artists, Newly-elected New York City Mayor Eric Adams crafts a new plan to stop gun violence in the area.

Mayor Adams expresses concerns about the rap subgenre Drill music for its nihilistic and violent lyrics that also put gang violence into light.

Lately, several Drill musicians succumbed to death by being shot by unidentified suspects or an encounter with authorities.

Drill music means violence?

New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently spoke to the press, linking drill music to gun violence.

"I had no idea what drill rapping was, but I called my son and he sent me some videos, and it is alarming," Adams explained. "We are going to pull together the social media companies and sit down with them and tell them that you have a civic and corporate responsibility."

The New York mayor compared the messaging of drill music to tweets instigating violence from former President Donald Trump.

Donald Trump was suspended on the social media giant Twitter after the deadly uprising at the United States Capitol, leaving five dead and hundreds injured and hospitalized.

"We pulled Trump off Twitter because of what he was spewing. Yet we are allowing music, displaying of guns, violence, we're allowing it to stay on these sites," Mayor Eric Adams continued.

As part of the drill discussion, he stated that "very well-known rappers" would be invited to participate; however, he did not disclose who would attend the meeting or when it would take place.

Last month, rappers like Jay-Z, Remy Ma, Meek Mill, Big Sean, among others, joined forces to push for a senate bill stopping New York prosecutors from using the artists' lyrics as evidence for a possible conviction.

Deaths of drill rappers

Adams' statement comes in the heals after two young Brooklyn drill rappers were killed in gun-related violence this month.

On the first week of February, 22-year-old Tahjay Dobson, more commonly known as Tdott Woo, was fatally shot outside by a drive-by shooting at his Brooklyn home just hours after signing his first-ever music deal.

In almost the same week, budding Bronx Drill rapper Jayquan McKenley, Chii Wvtzz, was also shot and killed after leaving a studio in Brooklyn.

New York City mayor Eric Adams was in tears last Thursday, condemning the "broken system" that fails "Black and Brown New Yorkers" with the spike of deaths in the community.

"I'm sorry we betrayed him and so many others like him, but you have my word as your mayor that I will be looking out for the thousands of other Jayquans in our city because I was once a Jayquan, too," he ended.
