The spoken-word artist has shared his thoughts on the controversial genre and its association with violent crime
GEORGE THE Poet has said that drill music is a form of “release”.
In his interview with The Guardian, the spoken-word artist, whose real name is George Mpanga, spoke about the police’s crackdown on drill music, the rap genre that is partly categorised by its graphic violent lyrics.
“It occupies them and it’s actually a creative endeavour. It’s an action, it’s a commitment, it’s something that you’re doing, so if you’re doing drill, imagine all the things that person is not doing,” he said.
