Chi DNA research project page (fetched in full; summarizing McClelland 2013; Spooner 2016; Stuart 2016): 'Drill rap is a subgenre of gangsta rap that originated in Chicago around 2010. Its hard-hitting beats and musical stylings take from trap music... The term "drill" as a type of music was coined by rapper Pac Man who was shot to death in 2010. King Louie continued the sound as Chief Keef put drill on the mainstream stage in 2012 with songs like "I Don't Like" and "Love Sosa"... The gritty and aggressive subgenre deals with violence and bravado, themes often associated with urban street life.'
