Drill is a genre unlike any other.
While most rappers talk about past crimes they’ve committed in their music,
drill rappers often rap about real drama and situations going on in the streets
at the time of the recording.
Here is a look at a few drill lyrics that really happened.
“He was dissin’ on my cousin, now his ass in that wood”
Lil Durk is one of the most popular drill rappers to emerge from Chicago
when the genre was popping off in the early 2010s.
Although his career has been full of ups and downs,
Durk has remained consistent with his musical output
and he has had more longevity in the industry than almost any other rapper of the genre.
Part of what has kept Durk relevant over the years
is his ability to collaborate with another up and coming talent.
He recently collaborated with Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty on the track Back in Blood,
where he references some old Chicago street drama.
In the song he raps:
“**** the opps inside my city lil bro put them in the mud
You can’t come back to your hood huh? He was dissin on my cousin,
Now his ass all in that wood”
In this bar, Durk is referencing his dead opp MUBU Krump
who dissed his dead cousin OTF Nuski on Instagram Live in 2018.
Not long after, MUBU Krump was shot and killed at a house party in Chicago.
Durk is a member of the Black Disciples, one of the largest street gangs in Chicago.
He is part of a set called OTF – which stands for Only The Family
or also Only Trey Folks.
OTF is the name of his record label and brand,
however, it also doubles as the set he reps in Chicago.
MUBU Krump was a member of the Gangster Disciples from Dro City
and was a part of rapper King Louie’s Man Up Band Up – or MUBU – set.
Although the OTF and MUBU camps were originally cool with one another,
somewhere along the lines, street politics got in the way.
Although Durk is probably the most famous OTF member,
the set is more of a loose alliance of BD’s than a strict hierarchy
and due to petty beef and killings that happened between the two sets,
OTF and Dro City started beefing.
MUBU Krump was well known for talking shit on the internet
and airing out Chicago street beef on IG Live, which many of his enemies didn’t like.
MUBU Krump was also known for hanging out with a dude named 051 Melly
who was known as the Grave Digger for being one of the deadliest killers in Chiraq history.
051 Melly was a member of the 051 Money Gang,
which was a set of the Mickey Cobras and Black P Stones.
Melly was technically a BD but joined 051 anyway
and had beef with his own gang, which made him a renegade BD.
So, he was cool with dudes like MUBU Krump and FBG Duck,
who were GDs known enemies of Durk and the OTF camp.
The beef between Melly and Durk was personal
because Melly has been credited with killing Durk’s cousin OTF Nuski
as well as OTF Chino, Durk’s childhood friend and manager.
The killings were retaliation for the shooting of Lil Marc
a rapper and member of 051
who dissed OTF and other BD sets in a remix of Lil Durk’s song Competition
called No Competition.
Lil Marc was killed just three day s after the track was released
and the killer was believed to be a group of BD’s who had ties to Lil Durk and Chief Keef.
Durk took to social media to mock Lil Marc at the bus stop where he was killed.
Not long after his cousin Nuski was killed while sitting in his vehicle,
and less than a year later, OTF Chino was killed in a similar way.
Both killings have been credited to 051 Melly, so the beef between him and Durk runs deep.
Check out our past video on Drill Lyrics That Really Happened for more info on this beef.
To add insult to injury, MUBU Krump, who was tight with Melly,
went on IG Live and said that Nuski once threatened to kill him,
so he thought it was funny when he got killed.
This obviously didn’t go over well with the OTF camp and not long after,
both Melly and Krump were shot outside a house party in the 6800 block
of South Morgan Street in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago.
Melly miraculously survived, but Krump did not.
It’s not entirely clear who the shooter was.
But Lil Durk took to social media to celebrate after hearing the news
indicating that he either set up the hit
or he’s happy that someone took care of the situation on his behalf.
So, in the bar on Back in Blood,
he is referencing the fact that MUBU Krump dissed his dead cousin Nuski
and ended up getting killed himself.
Melly narrowly escaped the shooting,
only to get killed at another house party just a year later.
Although OTF was not credited with the hit,
it did put an end to one of the deadliest beef’s in Chiraq history.
But Durk isn’t the only OTF member who has rapped about dead Opps.
This next artist rapped about killing a female opp
who was also one of the most dangerous killers in Chicago.
“Put a pretty opp in a morgue
call that ***** drop-dead gorgeous”
– King Von – War with Us
King Von was one of the most popular up-and-coming drill rappers in the country
until he was tragically murdered in Atlanta in November 2020.
But before the fame, Von was active in the streets of Chicago
and respected for being a rapper who lived the life he talked about in his music.
In this bar, Von raps about the killing of his former rival and love interest
Gakirah Barnes aka KI.
KI was a female member of the STL / EBT set of the Gangster Disciples
that later went by the name Tookaville.
Although growing up, KI was known as a shy, mild-mannered honors student,
she started to get sucked into the gang lifestyle as a teenager
and went on to become one of the most notorious shooters in Chiraq history.
KI grew up in the area of the Southside
around 64th and Lawrence that was the territory of the GD’s.
Growing up, she was like any other normal girl,
but she started to get sucked into the street life as a teenager.
She was childhood friends with another St. Lawrence resident
named Shondale Gregory – aka Tooka
who was murdered while waiting for a bus in 2011.
STL/EBT has beef with a set of the BDs who are now called O’Block.
Tooka’s death was rumored to be retaliation for another killing of a BD member
that had happened 2 years prior.
KI is rumored to be the one who created O’Block
after killing a 20-year-old BD named Odee Perry.
KI was only 14 at the time and the killing set off a gang war in Chicago
that still rages to this day.
After that, the BD’s in the Parkway Gardens Houses started calling themselves O’Block
and the STL/EBT crew started going by the name Tookaville.
Rappers who claim O’Block include Chief Keef and King Von
and Tooka have become some of the most disrespected people in the history of hip hop.
But KI didn’t stop after the killing of Odee Perry.
She really started to turn up in the street after her cousin – a kid named Tyquan Tyler
– was killed in 2012 after getting hit with a stray bullet
outside of a party at just 13 years old.
After that, she changed her Twitter handle to Tyquan Assassin
and started catching more bodies.
Over the next few years, KI was identified
in over 17 shootings in Chicago
and rumored to be one of the deadliest Tookaville shooters.
Despite being a female,
KI was one of the most highly respected gang bangers in Chicago at that time
and was admired not only by her own gang – but even her opps.
King Von himself is rumored to have been in a relationship with KI,
although both claimed that these rumors were untrue.
In a documentary on KI’s life that aired on A&E,
Von admits that he had a crush on KI
and that he tried to get her attention several times on Twitter, but nothing ever came of it.
Von respected KI as a fellow shooter,
however, they could never be in a public relationship as they were sworn opps.
Von even once claimed that he caught KI alone on the train and beat her up
and still continued to flirt with her days after.
KI’s name was so well known in the street,
that other people in Chicago started hitting her up to perform hits on their behalf.
Not long before she was killed,
her Twitter was hacked,
and a bunch of her DMs was leaked by someone on 4chan.
There was one in a particular exchange where someone offered KI money
to kill G Herbo.
It’s not clear whether this was real or a troll, but it shows how well-known KI was in the city.
However, like most Chiraq street legends, KI ended up falling victim to gun violence.
On April 11th, 2014 KI was walking down Eberhart Ave in Chicago
and was shot nine times in the chest, jaw, and neck.
Eerily, the day before she was killed, she tweeted “In da end, we DIE”,
as if she had a sense of what was about to happen.
The killer is rumored to be an O’Block member who went by the name Big A,
who was in turn killed by KI’s brother GI Joe.
So, in this bar, Von is referencing his dead opp and former crush
to prove how ruthless his set is and no matter who the enemy is
or what they look like – O’Block is prepared to take care of business.
But the war between Tookaville and O’Block didn’t end with the killing of KI.
This next artist was killed in broad daylight
after releasing a diss track about several fallen members of the BD’s.
“But N**** **** T-Roy and Odee, them dead *******
Y’all Heard about J-Money, N****s dead the same way
I know you heard about Lil Boo They left his shit by a tire
Bullets was hittin him, he was singing like Mariah”
- FBG Duck Dead B*****
FBG Duck was a popular rapper and member of the STL / Tookaville set of the GD’s.
Duck was tragically murdered in August 2020, but before he was killed,
he was one of the rising rap stars from the GD camp.
Until that point, the music industry had been dominated by BD’s
and so Duck was seen by many as the face of the GD movement on the music side.
However, Duck built a name for himself by dissing many of his opps
– like Durk and King Von but ended up getting killed
after releasing one of the most disrespectful diss tracks in rap history.
His song Dead B****** was released on July 10th, 2020,
and immediately made waves in Chicago after he dissed and insulted
several dead members of the BD’s.
T Roy was a member of O'Block who was killed in February 2017
after getting shot on the 2000 block of East 71st Street.
He was best friends with King Von
and the brother of another prominent BD named HK.
Odee of course refers to Odee Perry
who was killed by KI back in 2011, igniting the Tookaville – O’Block war.
J Money was a member of O’Block and OTF affiliate
who was shot in the head in the West Woodlawn neighborhood in September 2013.
But perhaps the most disrespectful bar is about Team600 member Lil Boo.
Lil Boo was murdered in a drive-by shooting back in April 2015.
A photograph of the shooting sight was released to the public,
showing Lil Boo’s body slumped over, laying on a curb by a tire.
After that his opps took to calling him Tirehead, including FBG Duck.
So in one track, FBG Duck lays out the entire STL – O’Block beef
in a way that is as disrespectful as possible.
This is just a sample of the song
and he goes on to list even more dead opps in the same way.
As you can imagine, this diss didn’t go over too well with the BD
and less than a month later, Duck was shot and killed while out shopping.
Although most of the violence in Chicago is contained within the Southside,
when you dedicate an entire track to disrespecting the dead, all bets are off.
Duck got caught lackin in a wealthy shopping district of Chicago called the Gold Coast.
Around 4:30 pm on August 4th,
two vehicles pulled up to the area Duck was shopping at
and four masked men jumped out.
Duck tried to grab his strap but couldn’t react quickly enough
and ended up getting shot in the torso and later died from his injuries.
Although the investigation is still ongoing,
many have speculated that the hit came from someone in O’Block.
More information will likely be revealed as the investigation continues.
The hit was clearly targeted
and because the shooting took place in a well-lit area where security cameras are present,
it shouldn’t take police too long to track down some leads.
The fact that it happened in a wealthy area and not just on the streets of the Southside
will probably add to their desire to find the suspects.
King Von and Lil Durk have been exchanging diss tracks with Duck for years
and many suspected that they had something to do with the killing.
However, Von claims that he had nothing to do with the shooting
and that he and Duck squashed their beef right before he was killed.
Durk was not quite as chill and released a track called Should Have Ducked
on his new album, which also features Pooh Shiesty, where he dropped the bar:
“You come outside without your gun you dumb as ****
Ain’t no quick run to the store, they pop out fire you up
I told my PO through the gate that I get high as ****
She asked me how high do I get, I told her high as Duck”
This bar prompted an angry response from Duck’s mother,
who thought the song was in poor taste.
Y'all rich off of mixing in my motha***** son
y'all rich off mixing in Tooka
Show your crowd
do something else besides this and music.
Show motha***** that you really,
go pop like my son was tryna do he was trying to cross over.
Y'all ****** sitting up here mention somebody who don't give two **** about you
he was right you probably did illuminati help
Although Durk and Von had serious beef with Duck,
it’s unlikely that either would take it upon themselves to do the killing.
They are both high profile artists who could be easily recognized
and therefore
it was more likely that a hitter in O’Block still putting in work on the streets
was behind the shooting.
Although at the time Von and Durk were both awaiting trial for an attempted murder case,
so anything is possible.
The death of FBG Duck killed the GD’s chances of having a music star
who could represent them on a national level the way that the OTF and 300 crews rep O’Block.
Whether another local artist steps up to fill his shoes is yet to be seen.
