Kelefa Sanneh profiles Fivio Foreign, a kind of hip-hop star that New York, not too long ago, seemed to have stopped producing.
In recent years, many hip-hop hits have been druggy and escapist. Fivio belongs to a less fanciful tradition, and his success may mean that the hip-hop pendulum is swinging back, as it periodically does, toward tougher, scrappier characters. In hip-hop, street credibility can be an important narrative asset—a way of convincing listeners that the stories they’re hearing aren’t just stories.
When the shoot was over, Fivio’s ride—an S.U.V. with L.E.D. lights in the ceiling, which fans may recognize from his Instagram videos—was waiting outside, and he moved quickly to get in. Not quickly enough, though, to escape the attention of a woman in the next car, with multicolored fingernails and an embarrassed smile. “I love you, Fivio,” she told him.
Drill, in the hip-hop sense, is not just a genre name but also a verb. “Since a young’un, I been drillin’,” Pop Smoke announced, in “Welcome to the Party,” the 2019 track that made him a star, and you could almost picture him wielding his weapon like a power tool.
