Adams met with three prominent American drill rappers to discuss the genre's violent overtones and its effect on fans.
"Violent people who are using drill rapping to post who they killed and then antagonize the people who they are going to kill is what the problem is," Adams said."And they heard me. And we're going to be rolling out something in the next few days to deal with this issue."At first the musicians were wary the mayor would try to ban the subgenre of rap, but he assured him that wasn't the intention of the campaign.
"The lyrics are a manifestation of what's already happening, Coleman said."They are actually living their reality. So if their reality was different they would rap about different things. So what comes first?", known as CHII WVTTZ, who was fatally shot outside of a recording studio in BedStuy as an example of the violence that comes from the music.
"I believe the outcome of this, is that he and I are going to be partners to stop seeing our young men become victims of this level of violence, and ladies," McKenley said."And to go after those things that were just mentioned, the drill rapping, the over proliferation of guns.
