Release date

Lil Durk’s brand new song has hit the Internet on December 20, 2020, midnight.

Concept

In the official music video of the song, we can see the ‘All Love’ hitmaker giving a tribute to his late longtime friend King Von with his groovy rapping skills whilst sharing the screen space with his other friends. We see two huge SUV’s parked in the background of the young hip-hop artiste. In the song, the Chicago rapper shed light on the struggles that he faced during his upbringing along with troubles in the streets and legal issues.

The lyrics of the song goes, “Them ni**as act like they don't need us, They do everything we do, they wanna be us/ Found them takin' ecstasy, they tryna T up, He rather go and blow her back instead of R'up/ You weren't on that block when that shit was goin' on, I wasn't worryin' 'bout the other side when that shit was goin' on/ And we don't hang with different ni**as, don't ask us what we on.”  Interestingly, Lil Durk also has one of the chains on in the music video which Von used to wear.
