Artist of the Week
Lil Durk

Week 2 of 2022




Lil Durk

Following numerous legal issues in the past several years, Lil Durk is now determined to create positive changes for his life going forward. The rapper, however, needs to deal with his past trauma first by diving deep into his pain and personal struggles with his new studio album aptly titled "Almost Healed".

"As The Voice I'm speaking for us all and what we go through that everyone may not realize. Many young men like myself have faced some sort of trauma in their lives," the 30-year-old rhymer explained on Twitter. "This album is a representation of what transpires through difficult situations and the processes we go through while healing."

"Therapy Session" featuring Alicia Keys is jam packed with self-reflection as he remembers the loved ones he lost and the mistakes he's done. He also bares his emotion on many other songs while talking about the hardships he has gone through and showing his growth as an individual and an artist at the same time.

Additionally, Lil Durk never shied away from controversy. Despite the backlash over his 2021 collaboration with Morgan Wallen on "Broadway Girls", the hip-hop star reunited with the country music crooner on another song called "Stand by Me".

Powered by 21 songs with J. Cole, Future, 21 Savage, and Kodak Black among the featured guests, "Almost Healed" - which features a bruised and battered Lil Durk on the cover art - easily resonated with his fans. It bowed at No. 1 on Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and No. 3 on Hot 200 with 125,000 equivalent album units in its first week. It gave the rapper his sixth top 10 album on the U.S. all-genre album chart.

Out of the twenty one tracks, fifteen of them broke into Billboard Hot 100 with the highest one, "All My Life" featuring J. Cole, climbing up to the second spot on the U.S. all-genre singles chart. The song carries lyrics about overcoming obstacles on his journey to success.
