26ar and Rocko ballin

8 months ago, Brooklyn drill was in a period of exponential growth behind the larger-than-life presence of Pop Smoke. New artists from the area were emerging by the day, and in less than a year’s time, New York had birthed one of the most dominant new frontiers of music in recent memory. In the months that followed, Brooklyn drill continued to spiral toward the top of the charts, naturally attracting the participation of some of rap’s highest-flyers; Drake, Travis Scott, and Quavo, just to name a few. Around the same time, eight months back, 26AR had just finished a 4-year bid. After hearing about the scene happening in Brooklyn over the phone, he began writing lyrics while locked up, and quickly turned to rap upon his release. Today, as time has gone by and Brooklyn drill has cemented its spot in popular music, the Crown Heights native has become a rapidly-growing fixture in the scene, with a consistent catalog of releases to prove it. We had the chance to speak with 26AR about his beginnings in rap, hearing about the Brooklyn drill scene while locked up, Raps & Hustles, and more. Read our full conversation below, and be sure to pay attention to one of Brooklyn’s most promising new talents.
