Lethal world of drill music laid bare as heartbroken mum reveals how son’s horrific murder was PREDICTED in warped song
Share:
FIGHTING back tears in court, mother Sharon Kendall’s blood began to boil as she listened to chilling drill music lyrics that detailed the harrowing way her son was stabbed to death. Most disturbingly of all, the words, penned by Joel Amade, were written nearly a year before he took the life of teenage Jason Isaacs with eight knife wounds to the back, in Northolt, London.

“Stab first then talk”, “on flight mode when we walk” and “I’ll put holes in your back” were among the lyrics that matched details from the 2017 murder and two more songs detailing the butchering were later released. Recalling watching the music video in court, Sharon, 44, tells The Sun: “It was horrendous, threatening and really weird because it was exactly what happened to Jason.”.

It left the mum-of-four outraged over why nothing was done to stop gang member Amade, who was later sentenced to 20 years in prison, and tragically she’s not alone. Multiple families have found their loved one’s harrowing demise graphically detailed in the lyrics of drill music - a subgenre of hip-hop that often talks about gang culture, drugs and crime.

Sharon tells us: “I hate drill music, it must be banned one million per cent because it’s not talking about nice things, it’s about killing people and the horrific crimes they have done.”. She believes a widespread ban could “save lives” but opponents argue the real issue is “violent lyrics”, which feature in many musical genres, not drill music.
