Recently I’ve been watching and listening to a lot of Chicago drill. I am going to change my essay subject to this as I was struggling to think about what to write for my psychedelic experience idea. There is a lot to unpack for Chicago drill and there are many books that I can use to help my research.

Ballad of the Bullet : Gangs, Drill Music, and the Power of Online Infamy by Forrest Stuart

The rap on gangsta rap : who run it? ; gangsta rap and visions of black violence / Bakari Kitwana.

Chicago hustle and flow [electronic resource] : gangs, gangsta rap, and social class.

The book starts by introducing the rapper Habit, from the Spanish Cobras. He starts by explaining how in jail no-one doubts your realness like they do when you’re out of jail.
