Cheers for the links. What do you see the defining difference as?
I’m out now, so can’t listen to anything to check.
Mccing-wise there’s a lot me dead space and use of huge cavernous reverbs and auto-tune.
I know he uses some UK instrumentals (armed and dangerous is a headie one track for example), but lots of stuff with huge string sections and all that, that I don’t remember hearing in uk drill (at least back when I was listening to it). More orchestral. More reverby. Moving away from the piano-centric UK drill.
Also the drums are less fidgety and jungly. It’s more ‘kill shit’ indebted than the uk stuff is.
