Influence
Lyrics on drill music contain many aggressive lyrics and music videos which makes it to be viewed as a negative influence. Listening to drill music doesn't necessary force anyone to commit violent crimes. However, public key figures are making linkages to the influence of drill and the violence committed by the youth in London. Public figures such as the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Cressida Dick, believes in the linkage of influence so much that she requested YouTube to remove any drill music related videos which they abided to the request by taking down thirty videos in 2018. It's not only music videos that are viewed as negative influence but drill rappers as well. On July 25, 2015, police shut down a concert that was performed by Chief Keef, a rapper who helped popularize drill music in the US. The concert was designed to be a donation to benefit the families of Dillan Harris and Marvin Carr, A toddler and a 22 year old man who were killed on July 11. The concert had positive intentions but it was shut down with the reason of posing a significant public safety risk.

There's a lot of controversy about drill music being the reason of increased crime rates. Drillminister, drill rapper in the UK, argues with a claim from a knife attack victim which the victim blames drill for the increase of violent crimes as the one he fall victim to. The rapper explains that people are quick to point the finger at drill music without understanding the circumstances. Many drill rappers rap about their circumstances in life which is contained in their lyrics as a way to express themselves. Daniel Levitin, Professor of psychology at McGill University in Canada, states that there are other factors such as a person's personality that cause them to indulge in violence rather than drill music itself and you don't have to be violent to enjoy drill music.
