2.1.2019

Critical Praise:

“Unshackled from any kind of outline, Durk’s pen game shines. His rise was dotted with blood-soaked tales that summarized much of drill’s appeal: ground-level glimpses at Chicago’s South Side that colored in the outline offered by grim murder statistics.” –Pitchfork

“Lil Durk continues to be one of the most consistent rappers out.” – The FADER

“the rose that blossomed from the concrete of Chi-Town’s drill music scene” – Billboard

The Video:

Lil Durk’s influence reverberates throughout Chicago’s streets, and he makes sure to help some of his best prodigies find the spotlight. One of the most talented signees to Durk’s OTF label, Booka600 delivers a with “Baguette Bandz,” his latest video. Borrowing the iconic chorus from Phil Collins’ totemic ’80s anthem “In The Air Tonight,” Booka croons about his struggles and his triumphs, winding his melodic bars between Collins’ disembodied voice. In the video, Booka experiences a chilly Atlanta night in style, rocking off-white sneakers, riding around in a Lambo, and challenging labelmate King Von to a game of one-on-one, all interspersed with black-and-white clips from Booka’s younger years. Hosted on No Jumper, “Baguette Bandz” is the latest video from Lil Durk Presents: Only The Family Involved Vol. 2, a compilation tape by Lil Durk’s OTF label, following the clip for “Let It Rain,” by Park Hill and OTF Ikey.

Sharing a lyrical realism and skill with melody that endears them to their mentor Durk, the Only The Family vultures spread their wings on Only The Family Involved Vol. 2—OTF Ikey flashes his trap-happy hooks, King Von flashes a charismatic menace, Booka600 stretches his emotional muscles, and Doodie Lo snaps with carefully worded threats. The follow-up to July’s Only The Family Involved Vol. 1, Vol. 2 is home to “Crazy Story,” the buzzing new single by King Von, which has over 11.4 million YouTube views and features four original songs by Lil Durk. Featuring guest appearances from YNW Melly, Tee Grizzley and Sada Baby, Lil Durk Presents: Only The Family Involved Vol. 2 arrives via OTF/EMPIRE.
