Drill Team Westnahira
The Sri Lankan Sinhala Rap scene since its inception has seen many rap outfits and groups, but no one was ever expecting the team of lyrical assassins that were slowly rising from Malabe, 2007 onwards. What started out as 7 kids and a constant kick for spitting rhymes, soon turned into mixtapes, and more members backed by indie videos soon garnered its own following, and then later elevated its status to a cult, with more incredible releases that were nothing short of sonic snapshots of the times and realities, from early that decade. From ‘D u p p a t h a - Mixtape’, ‘S a t h u r a - Mixtape’, ‘Z o r r o - Mixtape’ during their early years, then later the heavy-duty and well-received ‘2 0 1 3 - The Cypher II’. In 2014 they dropped the biggest single of their career. Spanning over 8 minutes, featuring most of their crew, and with vocals by SANUKA was ‘Deviyange Bare'. They were nominated in 5 categories at The Derana Music Video Awards 2014 and bagged a total of 3 awards that same night for Best Sri Lankan Hip Hop Video, Best Cinematography & For Best Rap Performance. They have currently 2 albums and 1 ep under their belt. ‘Naraa Sandeshaya’ the album that dropped on the 23rdof May 2020, became their first Sinhala Rap Album to hit number 1 in 2 consecutive iTunes charts – All Genre & Hip Hop & Rap Chart Recognized by the greats Sunil Ariyaratne to one of their biggest musical influences, Tech N9ne, and various music scenes and their peers.
