Before Fivio Foreign became the go-to voice whenever Brooklyn drill crossed into the mainstream, he was a local force figuring out how to make chaos feel catchy. His rise didn’t follow a clean, linear path, either. It came in bursts, from street records turning into borough anthems and features that suddenly felt unavoidable to moments where his unmistakable delivery cut through bigger names on the same track. What ties it all together is impact.
As one of the most notable artists to help expand drill’s American identity, Fivio translated the genre’s tense, sliding beats into something that could live on club speakers, festival stages, and national radio without losing its edge. His voice alone became an instantly recognizable calling card, and over time, that sound proved flexible enough to sit beside A-list peers, pop-leaning collaborators, and even stadium-sized rap moments.
This unranked list isn’t about deep cuts or technical showcases — it’s about a sampling of the songs that worked. The records that introduced Fivio to new audiences, shifted perception, and confirmed his staying power during drill’s most visible era. Some were undeniable street records. Others arrived through high-profile collaborations that expanded his reach overnight. Together, they tell the story of an artist whose hits doubled as stepping stones, each one pushing drill further into the center of the conversation.
