The hip-hop genre of drill rap is getting a lot of attention from its growing number of fans, and from the growing number of criminal indictments wrapped up by some of its most promising artists -- even after they get a record deal.
FOX 5 NY's Lisa Evers had an exclusive look inside the NYPD investigation that helped build a case.RELATED:
"Everybody looks up to these guys, so it's a shame that they're using this platform, the music platform to actually carry out a negative message," said NYPD Sgt. Calvin Fergus, of the Gun Violence Suppression Division. "When I say negative message, I'm not talking about the music, but what they're actually doing."Street Soldiers also had exclusive access inside the NYPD operation to apprehend the defendants, who were already pre-indicted.
Criminal defense attorney Dawn Florio has successfully defended many hip-hop and drill rap artists. She said artists need to be more aware what they say about their street activity in any form can be used against them. "When these artists start to gain a little popularity, they need to learn how to start making a little better decisions."American Music Group President Danny "Su" Griffin represents a variety of artists, including incarcerated drill artists 90Rackss. Griffin said if they want to have a serious music career, they need to leave the streets behind.
