His cult following and astral success is merely a simple a turn of luck, but the result of his fearless experimentation and fresh sound he breathes into the Drill scene. Often compared to Giggs, his style is slower and more melodic, allowing the listener to truly focus on the bars and the cheeky nuggets of wisdom hiding buried in them. Adding to the already killer mix of talent and skill, is his choice to obscure his face, concealing his identity BY wearing a black ski mask or balaclava in his videos. The sometimes black but often colourful headwear accompanies the sub-genre he is credited with perpetuating dubbed as “Tropical Drill”. The mystery surrounding SL undeniably fuels the intrigue of thousands gathering to listen to the young rapper who would rather his work speak for itself.
In an interview with Vice he clarified that his choice to wear the headgear isn’t a publicity stunt or a cheap facade that he created in order to hide behind saying “I think that’s good because I want people to know that I’m not hiding. I want people to know that if they want to know what I look like, it’s not hard, it’s on the internet”
The cleverly shot video accompanying “Bad Luck” features the use of stop motion clay animation to further enhance the lyric’s meaning, further separating him from his peers in the Drill scene. These tongue-in-cheek antics however don’t cloud the abundance of drip he is sporting in the video as well, all of which is available below.
