Episode Summary
Radio 1Xtra DJ Tiffany Calver takes center stage to delve into the response to UK drill, a genre of rap that has garnered immense popularity but has also faced intense scrutiny and blame for a rise in violent crime.
As the genre has risen from the underground to the mainstream, Tiffany has witnessed firsthand the attention and pressure that law enforcement and the courts have placed on drill artists. In this gripping episode, she shines a light on the complexities surrounding the authorities’ response to the genre.
From increased policing efforts to criminal orders, digital surveillance, and tougher sentences, drill artists like Chinx (OS) have found themselves walking a tightrope between their artistic expression and the risk of legal consequences. Each song released becomes a potential test of their freedom.
Amidst this backdrop, Chinx’s success and potential for a brighter future stand as a catalyst for a broader debate on freedom of speech, crime prevention, and the role of black music genres in the UK.

Tiffany takes on a crucial mission to find answers, seeking to unravel the intricate relationship between UK drill, the authorities, and the larger societal issues at play. Through interviews, analysis, and firsthand experiences, she strives to shed light on a problem that has long plagued black music genres in the UK.
