Drill music doesn’t just reflect violence on our streets – it fuels it and it’s time this toxic genre was stopped

SCUMBAG Jake Fahri, who murdered 16-year-old schoolboy Jimmy Mizen in 2008, is back where he belongs – behind bars. This comes after The Sun exposed him as London drill rapper Ten, an alias he used to produce vile music glorifying violence, including bragging about murder.

He was recalled to prison on Thursday after The Sun passed an exclusive dossier to the Ministry of Justice showing he broke the conditions of his release. Jimmy’s murder was horrific. Fahri, then 19, launched an unprovoked attack on the teenager in a bakery, hurling an oven dish that shattered, severing blood vessels in Jimmy’s neck.

Fahri received a life sentence with a shameful minimum term of 14 years. Fast forward to 2023, and this so-called “life” sentence saw him walk free. The Sun’s revelations this week — that under his rap name Ten, Fahri appears to have been making drill songs boasting about Jimmy’s murder — is sickening.

Jimmy’s parents have said they were “stunned into silence” when they were told about the violent lyrics. In one of Fahri’s songs, which has been available on platforms such as Spotify and YouTube, he appears to reference Jimmy’s death with the lyrics: “Stuck it on a man and watched him melt like Ben and Jerry’s”. He later brags about “sharpening up” his blade.
In another, he raps: “See a man’s soul fly from his eyes and his breath gone. I wanted more, it made it less wrong. “Seeing blood spilled same floor he was left on.”. As if that isn’t revolting enough, the BBC was found to have played Fahri’s music.
