There’s a recent wave of Philly rap that functions like drill but doesn’t quite sound like it. Ot7Quanny, whose casual delivery is close to a yawn, is one of the best in the scene, and NR Boor is coming into his own as well. Together they’ve released multiple joint tracks, but the short but sweet “Dior Dior” is the peak. Over an ominous beat, Quanny and Boor trade bars that bounce between light flexes and reflections on the grind. “My ex ask me why I broke her heart cause that what dogs do/Gave my mom some racks and said that’s all you,” raps Quanny. It’s a peek at a scene beginning to make noise outside of its borders.
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.
Check out previous Ones, and listen to new rap from NR Boor and Ot7Quanny and more on our Spotify playlist.
