Drill
Ice in the veins, slide in the bass.
Drill is a style from the Asphalt and Diamonds family. 142 BPM, Weirdness 32, Style Influence 87.
Bass that slides like black ice. Drill doesn't raise its voice — it drops the temperature.

Sample excerpt
Same bus stop, same coat, three winters deep, mama working doubles just to keep the lights. I don't talk about the nights I couldn't sleep, I just show up early and I hold it tight.
Cold outside, colder in the waiting, I made a promise I intend to keep. They saw a kid the whole world was debating, I saw a debt to somebody who couldn't sleep.
Workshop note — First person, present, clipped. Drill lives in the gaps: write half the bar and let the sliding 808 finish it. At 142 BPM with a halftime feel, keep four stressed syllables per bar and end on hard consonants.
