ERIC ADAMS: I had no idea what drill rapping was.
But I called my son...
and he sent me some videos.
And it is alarming.

ERIC ADAMS: They see what this drill rapping is doing.
This is contributing to the violence that we're seeing,
All over this country.

So I'm like, 'you know what? Let me try this drill beat.'

And drill is very sticky right now.
BORLEONE: 'Cause these kids, they just expressing theirself
And they use this shit to... to get out.
SHAUNA JAMES: I feel like it's just given a lot of,
especially the drill artists,
an opportunity that they never probably saw fit for themselves.
BILLTHEDEMON: I just want people to come together and network and be happy.
And just go home with a smile on they face, you know?

And that's what we fight for.
