In Philly, in D.C., and in Chicago proper now, all of the rappers are in competitors to see who can finest seize the doomsday vibes of the Guide of Revelation. The winner could be Lil Durk protégé Chuckyy, a brand new Chicago drill lightning rod with a voice that appears like he’s rapping with nostril plugs. On “Bumblebee,” a single from his latest EP Tweak Until the Finish, his raveled, hurried supply makes it appear to be he’s in a life-or-death time crunch. Mix that with a biblical-sounding spin on a 42 Dugg-core Michigan beat and it’s virtually such as you’re standing within the eye of a hurricane. And although Chuckyy has out-of-town influences, “Bumblebee” may be very a lot within the custom of Chicago drill, the place bone-chilling temper items are nothing new. His trick is a scurrying, anxiety-inducing circulation that feels as if he’s inside a recording sales space that can fill to the ceiling with water (just like the lab in Deep Blue Sea) if he doesn’t end his verse in beneath two minutes.
