When Lil Durk was coerced into getting a hair cut, he worried that his career was ruined. The renowned interviewer Nardwuar and the rapper had a conversation earlier this month. Artists don’t often hear tales or information that Nardwuar unearths, yet he has a reputation for doing just that. Rappers such as A$AP Rocky and Lil Uzi Vert have been astounded by Nardwuar’s depth of knowledge. In order to answer a question posed in this video, Nardwuar rewound to 2013, the year in which Durk was compelled to chop his hair as part of his prison term.

“‘Cause when they cut my hair, the lady guard was like, ‘Why you cut your hair?'” Then Lil Durk spoke up. “However, it was supposed to be mandatory, and I was like, ‘What on earth am I supposed to do with my newly chopped hair?'” After that, they treated me badly in whatever way. Observing myself in the reflection, I examined my physique. My professional life is behind me. “They chopped off my head and all that s**t.” This was obviously not the end of Durk’s career. Actually, he has achieved far more success than he could have imagined back then.

Lil Durk’s career might reach its pinnacle in 2023. Almost Healed, his latest CD, came out earlier this year. Debuting at number two on the Billboard 200, the album had a rather fantastic run. Prior to last week’s stats from Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape, it had the greatest debut and first week sales for a rap album in 2023. Another one of his many successful songs this year is “All My Life.” Since its release, the J. Cole-featured single has remained in the Hot 100’s top ten, and it was just awarded platinum status.
