Deeping It analyses drill's fight against moral panic and its
fraught relationship with the police and political authority in the
UK, exemplified by constant censorship, racism, and moments such as
when a drill duo became the first people in British legal history
to recieve a prison sentence for simply performing a song.
Policing, policy and criminalisation are the cornerstones of
colonial suppression; art, self-expression and collective action
are beacons of resistance. Deeping It places drill firmly in the
latter category, tracing its production and criminalisation across
borders and eras of the British Empire, exploring drill's artistic
singularity but also its inherent threat as a Black artform in a
world that prioritises whiteness. Intervening on this discourse
steeped in anti-Blackness, this Inkling 'deeps' how the
criminalisation of UK drill cannot be disentangled from histories,
technologies, and realities of colonialism and consumerism.
