You might have Drilla in the background of Young Moe and Kevin Gates “My Soul” remix video earlier this month. Drilla and Moe, both Alexandria natives, have continued to apply pressure with the new single and video “Who Am I”. Drilla’s mixtape Drilla McGrady drops tomorrow!
Drilla, arguably the most influential rapper out of Alexandria, Virginia right now, expands his reach and tells his story on Voice Of The Projex, his second full-length project. Influenced by artists like Lil Durk and Kodak Black, Drilla tells us his story of project living, trapping, ducking police and taking care of his family with bars that will impress most. “Long nights at the trap house you can wake up and hear the birds chirping” Drilla chants, over a guitar-heavy, sample-based, bouncy beat from Uncle Bari. Drilla shines when he’s telling a story, bringing you into his world, and showing you why he is the Voice Of The Projex. Produced (mostly) by Bari, mixed and mastered by JABB. The surprise bonus remix features Lightshow, and stand-out track “Hand & Hand” features Paco Suavee. Other streaming links to come, Spinrilla for now.
VA is active. Recently, Drilla let go of a powerful new single titled “Voice Of Da Projex,” which is said to appear on his forthcoming project of the same name; for his latest, he delivers a visual for that track, shot by Eazy Max. Check it out below.
Drilla returns from a brief hiatus with the titular single from his upcoming mixtape, V.O.P.
Alexandria, Virginia’s Drilla has been rapping less than a calendar year, and has already restarted the wave of artists from the D.C. suburb. Alongside artists like VonnyFromDaATM and PacoSuavee, Drilla set the trend for the new Alexandria music scene. “Venting” is one of my favorite of his recent releases, alongside tracks like “Jus A Message”, “Option”, and “Pressure”. Expect to hear more soon, and big things from Drilla in the future. Shout out to Bdai
