Lil Durk Drops New Album “Deep Thoughts”
Lil Durk is keeping his voice heard, even from behind bars. The Chicago rapper has released his new album Deep Thoughts as promised. Along with 17 official tracks and a lineup of heavy-hitting features, Durk also dropped a surprise: a documentary that gives fans an inside look at the mind behind the music.
The newly released Deep Thoughts documentary digs even deeper into the creative process behind the album and includes archival footage, intimate interviews, and scenes that were reportedly filmed just weeks before Durk’s incarceration. It’s raw, emotional, and gives fans a glimpse of the pain, pressure, and perspective that shaped the music.
“Deep Thoughts” follows his 2023 project and stands as his next major offering in what’s been a career-defining decade. The album features Future on the hard-hitting “They Want To Be You,” Lil Baby on the introspective “1000 Times,” Hunxho on “Late Checkout,” and a standout collaboration with Jhené Aiko on “Can’t Hide It.” That last one, in particular, is sparking buzz across social media, with fans speculating that Durk subtly confirmed his marriage to longtime partner India Royale in his verse.
However, the release comes during a turbulent time for Durkio. The rapper is currently behind bars, awaiting trial scheduled for October 14. Authorities allege he ordered a murder-for-hire hit on rival rapper Quando Rondo, which tragically resulted in the death of Rondo’s cousin, Lul Pab. In addition to the criminal case, Durk is also facing a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Pab’s family.
Despite his legal woes, Durk’s artistic output hasn’t slowed down. If anything, Deep Thoughts seems to reflect the emotional weight and mental battles he’s navigating. Whether you’re tuning in for the music or the message, this new era of Lil Durk is shaping up to be his most vulnerable—and potentially most powerful—yet.
