Lil Tjay Makes Bold Drill Music Claim

by Benny Franklin

Lil Tjay has a strong opinion about the Bronx drill scene...

The New York rapper recently hit Instagram to claim his credit for starting the current wave of Bronx drill rappers.

"You know what's crazy? Listen to this one... If there was no Tjay, this Bronx drill sh*t, I don't think it would be here right now, honestly. Cause I remember back in 2018, other n***as that was my age was not even outside, period. I was smokin' on n***as, I was outside, I was doin' sh*t. N***as was lookin' at me like I'm crazy. Who was doing what I was doing? I wanna know. 'Cause it looks like a whole lot of imitations. It's beneath me to even be saying this but, you know, I just woke up thinking sh*t. Then again, I'm just sayin', that was 2018, 2022... sh*t cool and fun and all but y'all n***as is hot. I don't want no parts. Y'all could have it now. And I was the first rapper from the town to rap and never leave the trenches."

Unfortunately for Tjay, not many people agreed with him and his take. 

A few comments questioned if he was even a drill rapper, and suggested that he was a singer. 

Who do you think is the originator of Bronx drill?
