Krept & Konan – Ban Drill (Virgin EMI)
Krept & Konan - Ban Drill
Release Date: Out Now
It feels a bit weak calling this
a single when it’s actually more of a short film with an original soundtrack
but it’s too good and too important to ignore on a technicality. Croydon
legends Krept & Konan release ‘Ban Drill’ as part of their ongoing campaign
for freedom of music and that ties in nicely with the themes of the accompanying
film. Essentially, this is a Sliding-Doors style story of a young lad growing
up on the poverty line, trying to make ends meet and falling in with a crowd
that encourage him to start selling drugs but that’s not the end of the story.
Musically, there is a feeling of sadness and regret to the melodies but the lyrics
are factual and without a hint of self-pity – they’re just telling it like it
is. This is classy music with an important and all too common story to tell but
one that the mainstream media will ignore, preferring to focus on gangs, knife
crime and Drill being the root of all evil which is just lazy. Rock’n’Roll didn’t
end society, Punk didn’t kill us all, Rave wasn’t the end of days and Drill isn’t
going to be the evil people keep making it out to be. It’s just another way of telling
stories, just what music should be.
