When Pill popped on the scene with the “Trap Goin’ Ham” video, I wasn’t sure what to think. As a fan of the show Cops and pretty much all reality TV (it’s sad but devastatingly true), I loved watching the video. While most rappers talk about the realities of their pasts and environments, most music videos don’t reflect it. In the “Trap Goin’ Ham” video Pill takes you to his stomping grounds in Pink City, ATL. He didn’t use models. No rented Lambos or fake money being sprayed. Pill shows you drugs, guns, scars, and residents. Considering the content, it’s hard to call the video “refreshing”, but it stood out because it was such a far cry from your typical, flashy hip-hop visuals.

And here’s the newest joint, the opener for Pill’s upcoming mixtape with Drama, 1140: The Overdose, out June 1st. What do you think of Pill? Is it more of the same or do you think he’s got the potential to be more?
