This social media update points to the completion of his album series, which includes Love Songs 4 the Streets (2017) and Love Songs 4 the Streets 2 (2019). It appears that Lil Durk is now ready to unveil the third installment.
Last year, there were reports that Kanye West was considering bringing Lil Durk to G.O.O.D. Music and buying him out of his existing record deal.
According to a source cited by TMZ, the Yeezy mogul was in discussions to acquire Lil Durk, who had been signed to Def Jam before becoming independent and joining the Alamo Records team in the summer of 2018, from his current record deal with 300/Alamo Records.
The report suggested that 300 CEO Todd Moscowitz refused to clear another verse from Lil Durk, unrelated to his recent collaboration with Kanye, for the mogul’s upcoming album. This caused tension between Lil Durk and the label.
The track “Vultures,” featuring Bump J and Durk, initially premiered on WPWX Power 92 Chicago last November. However, when it arrived on streaming services, Lil Durk’s bars were initially missing. They were later added to streaming platforms.
Talks to release Lil Durk from his record deal may have escalated during a trip to Dubai over the winter, where he and Kanye West spent time together. The artists performed the live debut of “Vultures” during a club appearance, and according to West’s former manager John Monopoly, there were discussions about a joint tour featuring the four artists. West reportedly expressed, “We need the world tour.”
