Fivio Foreign Sticks Up For Drill Music As NYPD Says It Contributes To Gang Violence

A Deputy Chief from the NYPD recently told the New York Daily News that he believes some of the lyrics in today's drill music has led to increased gun violence in the five boroughs.

One of the latest rappers shot was Nas Blixky in what's been called a bloody New York City gang war. 

Fivio Foreign, however, said it's not drill music that's causing the violence after there have been calls for it to be taken off radio.

"This the drill community and I know, like, the police and everybody be looking at n*ggas like n*ggas is starting trouble, but n*ggas ain't really starting trouble, they trying to feed they kids," he told TMZ. "They trying to take away the drill music off the radio ...  And we having meetings with everybody, we trying to let them know, it's not the music that's killing people. It's the music that's helping n*ggas from the hood [to] get out the hood. So, we need that. You take that from us, n*ggas is gonna be in the hood, killing each other."

Do you agree with those who say drill music is playing a big part in some of New York's recent surge in gang violence?
