Okay Aussie drillers Aussie drills a bloody gang war 1 4 1st 21st district Okay, it is sponsored by one district getting their hands on me When I hear the phrase broad day booting in australia I tend to think of this because on the streets of sydney australian drillers much like their british counterparts tend to have a bit of trouble getting their hands on firearms meaning the modern day Aussie drillers have to I think it's easier in australia, right? Rely on their shanks and shields to get the australia built blocks didn't they? Job done now. I've not yet had the privilege of visiting australia myself And I know it's easy to assume that australia land is nothing more than cans of fosters kangaroos in pouches and shrimps on barbies But today i'm here to tell you that in the west of sydney It's more foster homes shanks in pouches and barbeque pokers headed straight for your back in eyeballs Yes, historically australia has been home to a host of gangsters far beyond the amusing antics of chopper reed In fact gangsters from southeast asia china and vietnam have all had a presence in the country since the formation of the lucrative Aussie drug markets in the 1980s gang warfare that actually culminated in the assassination of the anti drug politician in australia john newman And then of course you've got your biker or bikey gangs two-wheeled outlaws like the bandito's help These are the most things I hear about in australia right here these type of gangs Los angels or gypsy jokers the likes of whom were truly wild being responsible for some of the most insane Instances of ozzy street violence including a 1984 shootout that left seven people dead known as the mil pera massacre It was actually that incident itself that even led to stricter gun laws in new south wales But you know your boy tlr is a driller at heart So in today's video we're going to be focusing on the ozzy youth gangs who would eventually move on from doing dirt In the street to pioneer the ozzy drill music movement Specifically, we're going to be looking at the youth gangs in sydney's inner west and greater west Whose smaller sets would battle it out on the streets of sydney for years before eventually spawning two of the most exciting ozzy drill crews in history 1-4 hailing out of the greater west and 21 district hailing from the inner west These specific crews were made up of the rapping young men who had emerged and survived the dangerous skirmishes between the inner west and the greater west gangs with a significant 1-4 of course they rap 21st district Number of the lads from both of these groups being pacific islanders Which if you didn't know refers to an ethnic group of people hailing from around 80 different islands in the western pacific many of whom's Ancestors will eat that the rock Bought to australia in the 19th century to work in sugar fields with the subsequent generation of young pacific islanders Going on to be historically profiled by australia's police as well as ageing immigrants mainly based on assumptions and stereotypes Derived from the criminal gangs that had come overseas to australia So growing up as a young islander in australia much like marginalized groups in the u.s Or the uk that would make you a target for police brutality with members of 1-4 Even recounting being beaten black and blue by the cops as early as age 14 In fact the underrepresentation of pacific islanders in ozzy media plays a big part in making ozzy drill So exciting because until the ozzy drillers made it cool these young men from these unique backgrounds Were extremely underrepresented in ozzy media You know unless you count the brown face wearing character from summer heights high jona from tonga cringe Anywho much like we've seen in the hoods of chicago, london and new york all around the world at a certain point These underrepresented gangsters from the hood managed to come up with a cohesive group identity And once we saw people coming out of these situations getting good at rapping We began to see ozzy gang and street culture flourish getting a voice through music and from observing chicago gave everybody a voice to be heard with the drill The likes of 1-4 and 21 district even us uk drillers have been delighted to learn some of the colorful slang of these scenes It's not just the style it's the the personnel When you heard chicago drilling you heard some people that you heard Before that you would think you'd never hear this person Hey, how he rapping like We're like that alone let you know like oh, yeah, let me go. Let me go try These savages I mean some of the best exports from australia these days are delightful insults for your arps like the word gronk around here A real filthy word to call your enemies like dogs and gronks, you know You've also got the phrase lads which unlike in england where it tends to mean obnoxious university sports team wanker in ozzy street culture lads or Eshays formally refers to a persecuted Australian lad hailing from the hood Most likely to be seen wearing sportswear being working class and potentially up to no good This is more akin to a chav in the uk or perhaps at a stretch what the americans might call trailer trash and of course you've got who Urchers which is essentially a lad who is out to make money illegally or by any means necessary Hell we all know what wait a minute trap wait It feels like just to be a young lad trying to urch a little money doesn't matter where you're from in the world So lads, let's take a look see some of the little urchers who are making a few ozzy I don't feel like a lad is equivalent To a trailer trash. Well, I don't think that's the equivalent In my personal I'm from I'm from I'm here NF14 is a coalition of ozzy street gangs based in sydney's greater west with a particular presence in mount druid Also known as mounty or mounty county with the collection of numerous street crews coming from this area Sometimes being referred to as the mounty county coalition What makes us a dual group is that we actually do what we rap about And through its home, you know, it's a big place It's the trenches and it's worth pointing out as it's often the case with these stories Mounty county is indeed the suburb of sydney with the highest amount of gun crime But it's from this collection of street lads rep in NF14 that spawned the groundbreaking ozzy drill NF14 Ozzy rappers were already kind of doing bits in their native country in the 2000s in the form of lab rap It seems plainly obvious that over the past few years mainly out of sheer high quality music and frequent output That one four have frankly managed to become the most significant and successful rapper But I haven't heard from one four since like in a minute Like it's been like three four years since I heard the song from them Based movement to ever come out of Australia The main members of one four include jms lex yp spenny and selly And because one four are from mount druett or mounty county, which is in a 27 postcode They're known to frequently throw up and shout out the 27 number Well, I drew it spain spany and it's sticking us there Numerous lyrics from one four suggesting they're down to rise for that two double seven Oh from 2017 one four burst onto the scene with their track ready for war Heavily inspired by call me a Spartan by the Harlem Spartans That was followed up by the track what you know, which featured a gang of ozzy lads that were so menacing I nearly did the dash from my computer screen just watching it. Hey when you trap stop trolling drill this hard Ain't no one going to tell you how to use it So since they burst onto the scene and introduced their native country to the booming hard sounds of the uk and new york drill One four have essentially taken over and become the pioneers of the entire ozzy drill movement Again with a lot of their appeal essentially deriving from the fact They were the first crew of pacific islanders to rap proudly about their lives in their native ozzy accents And i've got to say there's just something about here in that ozzy accent over a hard uk drill beat that just sounds so cold But it wasn't just their music that was pioneering because they were also using their music videos to introduce the ozzy public To their slick street fashion style too with a lot of their music videos around this time Essentially looking like adverts for the footlocker prison wrench So with all of these lads out here rocking more menacing sportswear than a sports direct jumble sale One four with their unique sound and s.a fashion style that hadn't been seen by this white people don't be liking you try I think you funny because I understand Social media, but I don't people be thinking you'd be poking fun at them and that'd be taking that lightly but Hey, you know, I'm sure you move everywhere with security The streets before one four quickly became the coolest thing going proving to other disadvantaged young men from the same areas But there is indeed another way to make it out of these streets So from here one four's sound continued to progress And they would go on to drop other big releases like the track shanks and shibs a song and video Which was hailed by many as potentially the first glimpse that the public had truly gotten of real life for lads on the streets of the Greater west the first track they put out the shanks and shibs No one had seen anything like that In australia no one had seen young islanders or young ethnics in general represent Their experience of the straight and shanks and shibs 100% before I even did a Before I found out about one four before I did anything australian I was completely oblivious to any crime in australia. I thought y'all was known for steve erwin the outback huntman spiders kangaroos um That honestly that's it 100% like I didn't know there was no type of activity out there Like I I wasn't the same category as hawaii Like we didn't think there was no activity in hawaii either, but apparently there is I mean like that's ignorant for us to think but like Followed by even more bangers like the message spot the difference and lads in the hood And at a certain point one four's unique style of posse accented drilling would capture the attention of drill and rap Reaction channels all over the world setting them up nicely for viral success. I never knew no I didn't know that existed Did he not beef him? Eventually off the back of all of this energy one four would bang themselves some mainstream success with the song in the beginning Getting one million views on youtube in the first 48 hours and going number 39 on the ozzy charts And from here they were on a roll dropping numerous follow-up songs Which would hit the charts like welcome to prison say it again with big asap asap Burg their emotional love letter to mountie county home and away and the more pop leaning radio hit my city featuring fellow rap in ozzy 2020 was the last time I heard them That's four years ago 2020 was four years ago You twink the kid loroy basically you'd be lying if you said that one four didn't sing been Simmons. Is that been Simmons? That's been Simmons in my tree and idly put drilling at the forefront of ozzy music and rap culture But of course when you're creating a successful scene like this completely from scratch It doesn't take long for other people to see what's going on and try and get in on your trap And while their musical legacy is much less well established than one fours It would be a travesty to overlook the musical development of their most hated ops the inner west 21 district 21 district refers to both a coalition of street gangs. I was just talking to my brother about this man Hey, listen if you make it in the rap game You're almost doing your apps of justice by speaking on them in raps Because if they also rap what is that? What are the what is the general consumer gonna do? Man, who is he talking about? Let me go see it. Let me go listen And if they actually good You just put them on In the inner west of sydney as well as an ozzy drill music group made up of members coming out of these areas Their name actually comes from post codes in sydney that start with 21 including gilford 2161 Which was actually home of the first kfc in australia. Thanks wikipedia marylands 2160 blacktown 2148 smithfield 2164 and cabramatta 2166 sometimes this coalition of street crews is referred to as the inner west brotherhood Furthermore subgroups exist as part of this coalition such as g 40 hailing from gilford 2161 In fact g 40 has actually even been shouted out in 21 districts music And it's also worth mentioning that as part of the inner west coalition other groups like 3t exist Who have apparently even been rapping all the way back to the 2000s and would even be out here making Dis tracks to their greater west ops in 2010 before the ozzy drill movement took off and one four became the big dogs in the game The reality is that the rise of 21 district the rapping crew is intrinsically linked to one four's rise Because 21 districts break out track the reply is itself a direct response to one four's See i'm saying see see see Even put them on Track the message which actually included a dis referring to a murdered 21 district member In fact the feud between these two crews and their related coalition of gangs Permiates the music on both sides with numerous lyrics from 21 districts the reply referring to riding out on the ops And the same can be said for 21 districts second biggest track still here Featuring numerous references to attempting to drill it on the other side to be fair 21 districts rap unit haven't quite reached the level of success that one four have pioneering the sound But they've certainly shown a great deal of promise and deserve a lot of respect the star members of 21 districts Rapping crew in close man 11 rongotty j lex a1 and malik So now you know the crews the music they make and the sides they rap Now we can take a closer look at some of the wild incidents that have gone down on the streets of sydney between these two warring groups of lads Searching for a new home Just like you see with the gangs of chicago in london often the origins of these deadly gang feuds are as simple as Teenage schoolyard scraps which unfortunately as members get older escalate into shootings and stabbings as made clear by jms from 1 4 Clearly tit for tat violence has been going on in sydney's inner and greater west for decades So we can't necessarily trace back every single incident that's gone on between these two groups of lads But what we can do is take a closer look at some specific high profile incidents That have made significant contributions to the beef and the music between 21 district and 1 4 An early one was a 2011 incident at a westfield shopping center where apparently members from inner west's g 40 had planned a 100 man deep fight with their ops b y o w bring your own weapons Now this skirmish was being arranged on facebook of all places and it's no surprise then that eventually the cops caught wind of it And we're able to arrive at the scene just after things had kicked off Arresting 13 people at the scene and recovering numerous homemade weapons and baseball bats police have warned They'll be making dozens more arrests after a mass brawl at a shopping center in sydney's west Now all they got to do is go back to follow the digital fingerprint And catch everybody two gangs armed with homemade weapons stormed westfield's mount druid shopping center last night After pre-arranging the fight on facebook fighting broke out at the mount druid station after one group got off a train And were met by the other all the pacific island origin before long a wild melee involving up to a hundred Not gonna lie It's reminded me of hooliganism when he said hopped off the train and a melee ensued like that's like Spilled through the doors of the westfield shopping center 13 arrested including four juveniles police expect to make more arrests At a certain point these organized brawls escalated to stabbings and shootings in april 2012 Five drive-by shootings were reported in sydney in a 48 hour space With these taking place around north mead in the greater west with the audio from the news report of those drive-by shootings being used Many years later as the intro for 21 district tracks are reply. Now sydney police say That's top-level Negativity by 21 drive-by shootings in the city overnight our reporter jason omp joins us from north mead in the city's west So five shootings within four and a half hours Yet, you know, just the spade of shootings just don't seem to be ending from here Things were not sweet in the years that followed people have been found beaten to death in mount druid as early as 2015 With it having been suggested on social media that the man killed was indeed nf 14 with the killer fleeing and getting the train to black town No camp Yeah, i'll be double oh seven in these comments. I know everything if I look at the comments 48 young man has been murdered in city's west overnight His body was found sprawled on a footpath at mount druid shortly after midnight very large crime scene Detectives say that they believe the killer and maybe others involved boarded a train at mount druid police police station Or mount druid train station rather boarded A train to black town and that is where they arrested an 18 year old man at around 2 30 this morning and the beef between these two sets eventually did make its way to music far before ozzy drill had developed its Sound there's examples in 2016 with rappers from nf 14 dissing the inner west wrapping over the beat to mob deep shook ones And over on the inner west side You've got the likes of 3t dropping this is on the great west too So while these mini music beats were occurring This was the same year that the police were investigating a savage beating in mount druid Where a 17 year old was beaten unconscious by a gang of armed thugs an incident Which like many of the ones i'm about to discuss was spectacularly caught on camera But it's far too violent to show you without getting demonetized You're gonna have to do your homework if you want to see that grizzly shit Anywho at this point the cops begun to single out the gangs in mount druid has been completely out of control Suggesting frequent shootings in the area as well as fistfights that were being uploaded to youtube Were contributing to a spike of gang activity in the area meanwhile by 2018 One four were beginning to make waves in music for the first time in ozzy drill providing a template of a legal Root through music away from the streets However, these g's taking music seriously did not stop the bloodshed on the streets as this feud would soon turn into a very public tragedy When in 2018 we saw the murder of 20 year old tino henry allegedly from the inner west with ties to 21 district 20 year old tino henry had the world at his feet But in the early hours of this morning his promising young life ended abruptly In this alleyway off Fitzsimmons street in paramatta. He was fatally That's crazy. Like I just listened to y'all. I mean the australian news reporter She bigged him up real nice the world at his feet. Like I like that like in america They would have been 21 year old suspected gang member That's what they would have said no doubt 100 hold on Stabbed in the chest This incident sparked a wave of violence between the groups which was only inflamed further by one four going on to drop lyrics Directly disrespecting their fall and up naturally all of this and the incidents that followed would provoke a strong response from the police of sydney But what couldn't be predicted is just how hard they would come at these groups Ultimately taking several of their key members off the streets with hard sentences as well as attacking their legitimate business of making money through music You can turn any slogan One four just off the cusp of mainstream industry success in music would unfortunately end up losing several members over a 2018 fight in july months before the deadly stabbing of tino henry a huge brawl took place at rooty hill gaming lounge carousel in This involved lex from one four who had allegedly been kicked out of the lounge over a drunken row over a machine Now in what little defense I can offer to lex It had been reported that racial slurs had been thrown during this argument But who knows what really went down whatever was said was clearly no good and retaliation was a must With lex coming back with yp and selly from one four armed with weapons at this point the last so lex yp and selly Proceeded to give a savage beatdown to several people in the lounge all of which was caught Extensively on camera another shocking scene that I sadly cannot show you on youtube But essentially lex beat a man to the ground grabbing him by the hair and taunting him to his face Yp was identified as having smashed a chair leg into the back of an ops head And selly was said to have pounded a man's head repeatedly with a hammer This vicious attack apparently leaving one of the victims unable to feel part of their face One four gave these guys the little waning jewel's treatment for god's sake with all this caught on camera It's no surprise that these lads ended up in court sharpish without a chair leg to stand on or swing at the judge's head 27 for life The end Lex ultimately got slapped with four and a half years for instigating the fight Yp got four years for swinging the chair leg and I assume also leaving a very unsafe Three-legged chair out there for one of his ops to sit down and fall off of But it was selly who got the worst of it for wiling out with that hammer with the judge dishing out a hefty 10 years 10 years This is a 2018 lake frito Bro probably did they both probably did two years. He probably did five. They're free. They all should be free This was a devastating blow to one four as a cohesive group as well as their business Meaning that star members appearances on songs would be limited to jailhouse phone calls like we saw at the start of the track Welcome to prison And just like we saw around the violent summer of 2018 in uk drill All of the goings on in the street would lead to huge scrutiny by the police who would quickly crack down on both the illegal violence And the legitimate music business in 2019 one four begun to have their shows cancelled by the police With it being claimed that the cops were pressuring venues not to host these ozzie drillers One four has suggested that the cops were really just trying to shut down their only route to making illegal money Shoot, they actually did because I ain't hearing nothing from y'all in a minute. We're on the worldwide tip y'all probably still doing some like In australia type movement, but I could be wrong and over on the 21 district side They were seeing similar problems and despite trying to make it clear with public statements saying that they're not criminals And that the racking crew is no longer a crime that hasn't stopped the police from shutting down their shows and video shoots Two as they explained in this statement But while the cops were shutting down their legitimate businesses since the killing of tino skirmishes were continuing in the streets Another incident popped off where there were numerous drive-by shootings in a 48 hour period with speculation that the homes of rival members were targeted Within only a month of these shootings 21 district had released their song the reply Clapping back at one for who had dissed fallen tino on their track the message starting that song off with audio from the news report About the 2012 shooting situation, which was very similar which may suggest that these are all somehow linked So clearly the beef was publicly active well into 2019 But we would see the likes of spenny from one four lurking in the ops turf of gilford on snapchat They're all gone missing now 21 district you pussies Fuck the shawty man here. I was there for 30 minutes. He didn't even come Eventually members would come face to face leading to another mini fight outside the westfield parameter in june 2019 Where knives were pulled out in front of shocked members of the public But thankfully the groups disbanded before things got serious in the middle of a busy intersection outside westfield parameter yesterday Men fight on as a crowd gathered before some of the men retreated to their car Another man smashes the vehicle as it rices around the corner I don't even understand why one for you one for you let 21 district. No offense. Like they're both talented apparently but like like You let 21 district drag you back down into some beef when you are highly elevated above them at the time That's what I be telling people man the streets be calling the streets calling be too hard They'd be too hard. It'd be too hard Like they to have songs with big artists And now they've gone back beefing with these Why would you beef with them? They're not even on it. If you're not on the same money level as me As they this is a big today be they thought process If you're not getting as much money as me, I can't beef with you because you have you don't have as much to lose You got nothing to lose. I got everything to lose It's not even fair. Y'all can't even Apparently members from these groups would run into each other again Later one evening at hookah lounge in another spectacular fight where an insane amount needed to show they were still involved. Listen That's the thing. That's what they don't understand You could be involved But the goal is to be not it's the the goal is to get out, right? Once you've gotten out, I don't want to prove that I'm still involved Make your assumptions Hey, make this album. I'm a musician at this point, you know, I'm saying I'm getting too much money to be playing with these streets You feel me? Y'all have it Some of objects and projectiles were thrown Detectives are investigating if the same men involved in the paramatter incident Were behind another fight at Auburn last night Then the following month another big gang fight spilled into the streets of sydney in july Along with a clip shared by 21 members with the suggestion that one four are quick to pull out knives in fights An apparent reference to the previous incident where a blade was pulled out at the westfield fight at this point There are crews brawling publicly on the streets of sydney nearly every week and gang culture was permeating mainstream culture so much But the new south wales police had to warn the national rugby league to stop players throwing up gang signs on the pitch But if it was bad enough losing rapping members of one four to prison when they could have been making legal money on the streets It looked like the police were going hard at targeting the non-rapping street teams of the greater west gangsters with a very public arrest in 2019 of a supposedly high-ranking street figure with this marking the beginning of a big crackdown on ozzy street crews With the cops calling in raptor 13 the raptor squad or strike force raptor A squad of hardened sydney cops famous for busting biker gangs raptor squad is a bit of an unnecessarily menacing name Isn't it like trying to catch some gangsters not an army of pterodactyls? Anyway, the raptors vowed to shut down sydney's drill crews and make every aspect of their lives uncomfortable They directly claimed responsibility for cancer. All right, that's really what they said Hold on in that in that seat. He said straight hands. No knives like one for Somebody in the comments said well, you just said your ops never lack hey Ain't nothing wrong with never lacking. I do not perpetuate or Um condone any of that I'm just saying that's what the article said y'all just Y'all just patted y'all ops on the back like yeah my ops don't never like that's tough Brillo shows and their sergeant said that they had planned to use more serious crime prevention orders Usually reserved for biker gangs or terry wrists to shut down one force activities Thankfully today one four is still going strong having recently dropped there against all odds e.p Which was fire despite being essentially banned from performing with the cops completely shutting down Meanwhile on the other side 21 district have been less musically active But off the strength of their early tracks I've got absolutely no doubt that with a bit of effort and backing they could be on top musically too if they Wanted to meanwhile things are still going they could though like how's the rap scene in australia currently? I guess it's fairly easy for somebody to jump in there probably and take over With a little bit of backing and a little bit of cred and With a little bit of ability and you know Hang on on the streets in july 2020 the news were reporting on a hammer attack linked to gangs from the inner west Where rival members were forced on camera by members from the inner west to throw up 21 gang signs and kiss their feet Look the thing that made people love osi drill really is the music not the antics or the violence A lot of people have loved one force music without even understanding the true context of what these guys 100% He's right. They've gone through so I really hope that going forward We hear a lot more music from both sides and less activity in the street There's a lot of overlap between the osi and the uk drill movements And if there's anything to learn from what we've got going on here It's that eventually with enough mainstream success you can get the cops off your back stack that legal money And get far away from the tough environment that made you I hope that happens because I love one four and 21 districts music and I want to see them both flourish Hope you enjoyed learning more about the background of osi drill music. I certainly enjoyed listening I enjoyed the trap I enjoyed it. You kept me entertained man. Tell her leave a like comment subscribe to me boss. Don't go
