Drill rap and dignity

Abstract

Since 2010 drill rap has become a notorious music genre that is often associated with violent or even criminal behaviour. Drill rap can be considered a vital way of expressing emotions and dealing with social injustice and inequality. At the same time, drill rap seems to fit into a long tradition of connecting music to negative behaviour amongst juveniles and is perceived as an amplifier for criminality. In this chapter, we discuss the extent to which drill rap is at the core of conflicting human rights perspectives. We will focus on how drill rap embodies deep societal issues that involve disadvantaged young people.
