NPK

Artist

NPK (Northumberland Park Killers) are a gang and Road rap & UK drill music group from Northumberland Park, Tottenham. NPK pre-dates drill music by many years, originating as a split-off from the Tottenham Mandem gang sometime in the 2000s. The gang promptly entered into the road rap music scene in the 2000s, but its current form is known for being a UK drill collective. The gang was also known as Purple Gang, due to its association with the colour purple.

NPK are known for their particularly ‘rude’ diss tracks towards rival gangs in Wood Green and Edmonton. One prominent example is “Kelvin’s Coffin”.

NPK has a subset known as Sin Squad.

NPK can be split between two eras, the drill era (mid 2010s-onwards) and the road rap era (late 2000s-early 2010s). There is some crossover between eras, for example Tempz and Poppy were around in the 2000s but have also made drill songs in the 2010s.
