In music slang, a driller is a rapper who operates primarily in the drill genre — someone whose sound is built on ominous trap production, deadpan delivery, and lyrics that reflect the harsh realities of street life in Chicago, South London, or wherever the local scene has taken root. The term can be used admiringly by fans recognising authentic genre dedication, or applied loosely to anyone whose music carries that cold, nihilistic drill energy. At its peak the word describes an artist who isn't performing toughness — they are it, sonically and otherwise.
He's been a driller since before drill had a name — go back and check the 2013 mixtapes.
