Lil’ Durk has been the fastest rising star of the year. In just a few short months, he’s dropped a new project with Lil’ Baby, Polo G, G Herbon and Gunna. He’s also appeared on Drake’s new single and the latest Nas album. Now, it appears he’s gearing up for another album release.
To get things started, he’s dropped a new single called “The Voice.” Throughout the track, the Chicago native touches on the pain he’s dealt with as he has taken the next step in his career.
“I was goin’ through that pain alone/I was goin’ through that phase alone/We all change, you say I change alone,” he raps.
Later in the track, he discusses a few societal issues through a personal lens. Most notably, he talks about not being able to vote as a formerly incarcerated person.
“Money ran low, right? Felons can’t vote, right?/I can’t even vote for who I believe in, shit ain’t goin’ right/I didn’t drop a tear inside the funeral, I ain’t mourn right,” he adds.
At one point in the track, he does touch about his importance to music. Specifically, he talks about his importance within the Chicago music scene.
“You lookin’ crazy, know the trenches raised me/I’m Durkio, but I’m Chicago JAY-Z/And I was scared how that money made me,” he continues.
“The Voice” is one Lil’ Durk’s most honest and vulnerable tracks. Check out the record above.
