Policing Popular Music – ‘Therapy in The Trap’: An Online Ethnography of UK Drill and Grime Artists, Producers and Listeners

image of Policing Popular Music – ‘Therapy in The Trap’: An Online Ethnography of UK Drill and Grime Artists, Producers and Listeners

This chapter delves into the intricate dynamics of the policing of UK drill music by British authorities, employing an online ethnography approach that includes interviews with UK drill artists, producers, and listeners. As UK drill, a distinctive Black music genre, faced unjust policing due to its raw nature, the chapter aims to amplify the voices of the UK drill community, challenging stereotypes and debunking alleged connections between the genre and criminality. With a focus on political control and oppression in Black music, the chapter scrutinises the policing strategies of the London Metropolitan police and the creation of the Drill Music Translation Cadre. Methodologically, the qualitative study outlines the research methods used and emphasises the positive impacts of UK drill on mental health, creativity, and community support. The chapter suggests that criminalising UK drill may adversely affect young Black and White British individuals. Looking forward, the chapter advocates for future qualitative research involving both UK drill stakeholders and the police to bridge the understanding gap and develop strategies that celebrate the genre's positive contributions, while dispelling misconceptions.
