Chicago is the birthplace of drill music.

In “Murder to Excellence: Life & Hip Hop in Chicago,” Chicago Power 92’s DJ Reese defines “Drill Music.”

DJ Reese says he heard drill music for the first time by Chief Keef and King Louie.

“Chief Keef had a song called ‘3Hunna,” he said. “That was really nice. King Louie had one called “Too Cool” that I was playing in the club. That’s where I really heard it from.”

Reese says the delivery and instruments make drill music different than any other genre of music.

“The way they deliver their lyrics is a different style than what everyone’s used to. The drums are hard. The snares kicking hard. They wanna hear that banging, dirty kinda sound come through the speakers in the club,” said the DJ who hails from 79th street on South Side Chicago.

Reese describes drill music as being a street sound.

“Most the lyrics in drill music is not pertaining to club scene or anything else, it’s pertaining strictly to the streets,” he said.

Drill music has received much criticism for the violence it promotes.

“I understand it promotes violence to a certain degree, but that’s all they have to talk about right now,” he said. “Until they get that out of their system, they’re not going to have anything else to talk about.”
