He also said that a discussion about drill with “very top-known rappers” is in the works, though he did not provide information on the participating artists or when the meeting would take place.
Adams’ statement comes after two young Brooklyn drill rappers were killed this month. On Feb. 3, 22-year-old Tahjay Dobson, best known as Tdott Woo, was shot and killed outside his Brooklyn home, just hours after signing a record deal, according to. A few days later on Feb. 6, 18-year-old Bronx rapper Jayquan McKenley, who went by the name Chii Wvttz, was shot and killed while leaving a recording studio in Brooklyn.
Adams paid emotional tribute to McKenley on Thursday, holding back tears while condemning a “broken system” that “continually fails Black and Brown New Yorkers.” “I’m sorry we betrayed him and so many others like him, but you have my word as your mayor that I will be looking out for the thousands of other Jayquans in our city because I was once a Jayquan, too,” he said.
