The Chicago rapper is now prepping the release of the deluxe edition of his new album, and he already delivered a new banger “Computer Murderers” just the other day.
7220 released 17 songs, including “AHHH HA” and “Golden Child,” which all charted in the top 40 on Apple Music in the United States. Southside, TM88, Cubebeatz, and Hitmaker produced the album, which also included Gunna, Summer Walker, Morgan Wallen, and Future as guests.
Ghost, at No. 2, Rex Orange County, at No. 5, and KING & COUNTRY, at No. 7, are other recent additions to this week’s top 10.
After spending eight consecutive weeks at No. 1, the Encanto soundtrack drops to No. 3 and is followed by Morgan Wallen at No. 4. The Weeknd, Gunna, Drake, and Doja Cat make up the bottom half of this week’s top 10, coming in at positions Nos. 6, 8, and 9, respectively.
Durk was questioned about a previous claim that he wanted to be “bigger than Drake” during a recent visit on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. “We touch people. Drake’s at a rate where he can stay in the f**king house if he want to. But nah, shout out to him. He touched the youth,” Durk said. “That’s one thing about him. He touched us and got us hotter than what the f**k we was but a lot of people can’t say that. Like a lot of these mothaf**kas don’t even know him but a lot of people he talk to don’t me know. Like, that’s just what it is.”
Moneybagg Yo, EST Gee, Doodie Lo, Ella Mai, and A Boogie wit da Hoodie all made extra performances on the album’s deluxe version, which was released a couple of months after the original album. David Morse, Touch of Trent, TrillBans, Haze, Southside, and TM88 all contributed to the album’s production.
Lil Durk will go on the 7220 Tour in support of the album’s release. The tour will go off on April 8 in Phoenix and stop in Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, New York City, and Chicago. The whole schedule may be seen here.
