22gz, also known as “the General,” openly claims to be one of the pioneers of the Brooklyn drill music scene. That claim was backed by his 2017 single Suburban, which created an explosion of remixes and a surge in popularity for the genre. As early as 2014 Blicky affiliates have been releasing music, however 22gz is the only one of the group to gain traction beyond Brooklyn, thus explaining his position as the “General of the Blick army,” as he states on the recent track “LLNB.”

J.I performed a concert via the Happin app on March 27, 2021. ‘The Prince of New York’ started making a name for himself in 2016 at the age of 14, when he appeared on the rap battle reality show The Rap Game. His popularity rose in 2019 with the release of Need Me, which to date has over 100 million plays on Spotify. The song so electrified his native New York City, that he became the first artist to sell out Greenwich Village’s SOBs club on three consecutive nights in December 2019.

When it comes to Brooklyn Drill music there are few artists as synonymous with the genre as the massively popular Sheff G. In 2017 he broke onto the scene with his diss track No Suburban, a response to 22Gz’s then recently released track Suburban. Following this initial popularity the hype died down when Sheff G spent some time in jail and other rappers on the scene began to steal the spotlight. However with the release of his debut album The Unluccy Luccy Kid in 2019, followed by One and Only the next year, Sheff G solidified his position as one of the most prominent figures in Brooklyn Drill.
