917 Rackz is only 19 but he’s already making some serious waves across the city. Referring to himself as Drill Shady, Rackz has proved time and again to be one of the most lyrical of the NYC drill rappers. The Sheepshead Bay rapper has only been dropping music for about a year, but has gained nearly 150k views on youtube and over 1 million streams on Soundcloud. He may be young, but Rackz has definitely earned his place among NYC’s best rappers.

917 is the area code. I’ve been Rackz since middle school. Kind of gave myself that name, and I had to put something in the front. You know what I mean? Cause I can’t just be Rackz, that would be hard to search up or whatever. So I tried mad other shit and I didn’t like it. I just woke up one day like yo, let me put my area code.
