Description

In this episode, we hone in on drill music, a sub-genre that has gained notoriety since 2012 due to its nihilistic, dark, hyper-violent lyrics and sonic elements. Dr. Charity Clay, a Sociology professor at Merritt College in Oakland, CA weighs in to provide understanding of the social, environmental, and historical conditions in Chicago. The aim is to provide alternate perspectives to audiences that dismiss its cultural value, and write it off as pathological to city conditions.
