The Doc:

An ever-evolving artist and a student of the game, Lil Durk took methodical steps to reach his current level of prominence. Giving us a behind-the-scenes look at his Love Songs 4 The Streets 2album, Durk shares “Making Love Songs 4 The Streets 2,” his new mini-documentary, premiered by Billboard. Built around a revealing interview with Lil Durk, and packed with scenes from his music videos, studio sessions, and public appearances, the doc finds Durk discussing his inspiration for the album, the decision-making process behind what songs made the final tracklist, and his collaborations with guest artists like Nicki Minaj. Perched at a new career pinnacle, Durk remains curious and ambitious, paying attention to the artistic and career moves of his peers, and reacting with pride when he hears younger artists that he influenced.

Peaking at #4 on the Billboard 200 with 44,000 album-equivalent units and 52.7 million streams in its debut week, 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 anthems. The new album basks in Durk’s peerless melodic instincts on tracks like “Bougie,” a hook-filled bonanza with a guest appearance from Meek Mill, and “Extravagant,” a duet with Nicki Minaj, and showcases “No Auto Durk” on hard-nosed tracks like recent single “Green Light,” the 21 Savage-featuring “Die Slow,” and on “Like That,” a collaboration with his Only The Family signee King Von.
