Musical style[edit]
Steve Juon writing for Rap Reviews describes Dro Kenji's music in the following manner: "His music is not an evolution, a revolution, or any kind of solution. It’s just the same nihilistic world view of a generation that grew up in a world where you had to live it up fast because Death comes even faster."[17]
