Here it finally is guys --

We've been working the past couple weeks on putting together footage from our interviews at Chicago's Parkway Gardens Homes, aka 'O Block,' where 'Drill Music' began in 2011 with rappers like Chief Keef, Durkio, and beyond. 

This video features interviews with Boss Top, G Nuk and Shoebox Baby, as well as the beginning of confrontation with DJ Akademiks in regard to his coverage of 'Chiraq' gang politics shortly after the Drill wave kicked off.

Part 2 coming soon. Hope you all enjoy,

Really compelling and funny as always. It's the most respectful treatment of the subject matter I've seen in a while

Can’t wait for part 2. This is fantastic journalism as always!

I signed up for the Patreon at the beginning of this month because I was so moved and impressed by Andrew’s ability to ride the middle lane of politics. The last three to four weeks has been rap music and 🌭. I love it. God bless the New Generation. (I’m 30.)

Incredible interviews, excited for part 2.

UNREAL GUYS! Your ability to troll super fans in the suit at the rap festival, then probably go and do some of the most honest reporting on drill days later speaks to your skill as a media company. Well done.

Incredible piece - you really care about the subject matter and know your stuff when it comes to the history of this story. Also can’t believe you were able to get an interview with Akademiks lol good shit!! Can’t wait for part 2

The different types of content we get from you guys is exactly why we are here. Thanks for both reporting something we all are interested in, as well as trying to tell a real story while doing it.

theres a typo it says Odee was born in 1911

Daniel Gallant

Not sure if you have finished filming for this but you might want to reach out to “trap lore Ross” about this stuff. That dude digs deep and has a crazy archive going way back.

Journalism is alive. Thx for this

Boss top and all the oblock family are legends.

Bosstop gets a chance to reach a new audience and proceeds to talk about pissing in hallways and elevators

Crazy ending to part 1. Cuz he’s kinda right, who ever fires the shot is responsible and it goes way more deep in to hood life and the causes itself. But glorifying it definitely made some young kid think he could pop off by killing another. Crazy shit but that’s why drill is so big bcuz so much shit has been fake for years, people love the real. Even when it’s sad.

That gave me chills. I mean, damn. I'm from Milwaukee, boomers talk about Chicago, avoid the southside but they never had reason. I had no idea.

As an Australian, and a journalist and film maker, Channel 5 and Andrew’s way of capturing these stories, is such an interesting anthropological study in the America’s. It honestly makes me want to do something similar over here and explore the similar subcultures that we have here….. because growing up, America was always held as the pinnacle of everything to us.. but now being in my mid 30’s, it’s so evident as to how truly problematic the US is and has been for a long time.. not to say Australia is perfect, because it certainly isn’t, but it’s kinda like as you get older and you realise that your parents are just normal people, not gods. That’s what happened to me over the last ten years with the US. In particular after my first visit in 2012, and now through videos like Andrew’s and the gang. It’s absolutely fascinating and inspiring. Can I be the Channel 5 (Australian branch)? I have MANY ideas!

“That’s why I’ve never been there”……. Yeah. THATS why.. 🤔

First hit piece? That ending was... tense.

Australia is a country of people who descended from criminals

Some of us yes, but there is also a rich Indigenous history here too with the oldest, continuous surviving culture of at least 60,000-80,000+ years!

I mean.. definitely maybe.. but I think he lives in LA now!

wow. ak was flip flopping HARD

Bullhead

Documenting the life and history of Indigenous Australians would be a great opportunity. I think they would have a lot to say, and considering how conservative Australian media tends to be, a lot of that is probably censored or hidden.

These videos are so hard! Ima drill enthusiast so this is cool stuff. I might even be able to answer some questions for y’all ? 👀👀👀

I don’t think Odee was born in 1911 like it says I’m the vid
