LAST YEAR a genre dubbed Drill started blowing up in Rwanda, with home grown rappers including Ish Kevin putting their own spin on the world conquering sound. On July 27, Ish Kevin released ‘No Cap’, a song that won the attention and admiration of many, hence taking over local and international TVs and airwaves. On Monday, Grmdaily, a top British urban music outlet and entertainment platform, rounded up some of the hardest drill rappers and tracks across the globe, and who to keep an eye on next, and Ish Kevin made it to the list with his song ‘No cap’ as the Fourth on the list. According to Grmdaily, Ish Kevin is at the forefront of the scene, and his flows and cadence on the mic are undeniable, alongside with his overall persona. For Ish Kevin, founder of Trappish movement, being recognised by Grmdaily isn’t just a big step for him, but the whole country in general. Grmdaily is a big platform that has millions of followers in the UK and other places of the world. For his name and Rwanda to appear on their social media platforms and sites, shows how Rwandan music has started to blow and it is just the beginning. “Starting this career, I never thought I would come this far. It is overwhelming to wake up and find yourself on the list of best drillers in the world.” “This one is for the culture and the whole Trappish Gang. Let’s keep supporting Rwandan music,” he added. The renowned hip-hop artiste has generated more noise than ever before, by dropping hits like ‘Amakosi’, ‘Babahungu’, and ‘No Cap’. GRM Daily is the largest media outlet platform in the UK, followed by Link up TV and Mixtape Madness. The platform has been credited for bringing fame to top artistes such as Stormzy, Dave, J Hus, B Young, Amelia Monét, Kojo Funds, Steel Banglez, Not3s, Mabel, and many others.
