The highly anticipated new project is his sixth top three debut and seventh in the top ten
Deep Thoughts, the highly anticipated new album from Grammy Award-Winning hip-hop trailblazer and multi-platinum superstar Lil Durk, debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard Rap Albums chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200. On the strength of a massive streaming week for Durk, the album checks in as the third biggest rap streamer of the year, following Lil Baby and Playboi Carti. The project also marks Durk’s sixth Top 3 debut and his seventh Top 10 debut overall.
Deep Thoughts unfurls as Durk’ most personal, engaging, and enigmatic project to date. Laced with bold bangers and introspective anthems alike, the album highlights Durk’s undeniable melodies and incisive bars at the forefront. On “Can’t Hide It,” the album’s lead single featuring multiple-time Grammy nominee and multi-platinum superstar Jhené Aiko, Durk opens up about his relationship with wife India Royale. He shines in the spotlight on “Shaking When I Pray,” and distinguishes himself as a powerful collaborator with Future on “They Want To Be You” and Lil Baby on “1000 Times.”
Durk ramped up anticipation for the album’s arrival with the recent release of a short documentary, and made headlines when he shared a voice message on Instagram (recorded from prison) to personally break the news of the album’s impending release.
