7.19.2019

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 Song:

Rising up from the Chicago streets to become one of rap’s most influential and respected figures, Lil Durk is ready for the next level of stardom. Teaming up with kindred spirit Meek Mill, Durk shares “Bougie,” his new single. With a skeletal, echoing instrumental that puts the focus squarely on the two emcees, “Bougie” kicks off with a ferocious verse from Meek, before Durk comes in with a layered, melodic, and flex-heavy hook: “First thing on my mind when I wake up is a check.” A hard-driving anthem perfectly suited for rap radio, “Bougie” is the latest single from Love Songs 4 The Streets 2, Lil Durk’s upcoming album

The proper follow-up to November’s Signed To The Streets 3, Love Songs 4 The Streets 2 stresses the duality of Durk, presenting the face he shows at home with his fiancé India with smooth and emotionally intelligent romantic jams and projecting his street strength on intense drill anthems. Last week, Durk teamed with his OTF signee King Von for “Like That,“ a hard-charging drill anthem and LS4TS2‘s first single. The sequel to 2017’s Love Songs For The Streets, a 9-track mixtape that kickstarted Durk’s rise from local heroism to mainstream success, Love Songs 4 The Streets 2 arrives on August 2nd via Alamo Records.
