A lot of the rappers we cover here are just starting out, with only one or two albums - Drop, a veteran in the underground rap game, has 10 full length projects and a variety of singles. This discography allows him to show off all sides of his talent. He can switch from smooth sing-rap to bouncy, melodic choruses to intense and hard-hitting bars so easily you never know what to expect. With the work ethic Drop has, you know he’s continuously putting in the effort to level up his sound and experiment. His recent mixtape, ‘Ghetto King’, has a blown-out, lowfi vibe that suits his casually aggressive style throughout the project, while other projects, such as my personal favorite ‘April’s Very Own’, have a sleeker and more menacing feel. The one consistent thing throughout Drop’s discography is his unique style. From his slight accent to the characteristic energy he has, you’ll recognize his voice the second he starts his verse.
Not only has he found success as a rapper, he actually began with production. As a young teen he started as a DJ and found his passion for hiphop, and since then he’s been grinding to perfect his craft. The New England rap scene is mostly known for its lyrical precision and writing, and Drop has both of these aspects within his game too. Remixing popular tracks such as ‘The Box’, by Roddy Rich, he reinterprets tracks in his own unique style and drops his bars over the original beat - much like Joyner Lucas’s remixes of mainstream track, Drop’s fans are often incredibly enthusiastic to hear their favorite underground rapper hop on a popular beat and body a nationally acclaimed rapper. While his style isn’t for anyone, Drop has managed to build a high following for an underground artist and develop himself into a rising star figure within the scene. Go stream his new project ‘Ghetto King’, and don’t forget to check out our other articles.
