Lil Durk is paying homage to Lil Wayne on his brand-new single.
On Friday, November 10, the Chicago rapper and Only The Family delivered their latest song "Smurk Carter." The song, which is produced by Chopsquad DJ, begins with a foreword from his close friend Robert Shipp. Afterward, Durk steps in and lays down his bars about growing up in the trenches like Weezy did.
"Daddy took over the streets, Larry Hoover was my age, When weed was so cheap, sellin' drugs off MySpace," Lil Durk raps. "I'm a gangster at heart, could stop a war with my face/Mama, I said I'm sorry for puttin' you through the mind games, sorry."
The cover art for the song features Durk with Lil Wayne's tattoos on his face. In the video for the song, Durk continues to channel Wayne by recreating infamous scenes from the "Hustler Muzik" video off Tha Carter II album. The OTF leader rocks the same red BAPE camo jackets Wayne does and even spits his verse on a rooftop just like Weezy.
The Brabus truck, the one that, hmm, I paid a bag for it," Durk spits. "I paid cash for it, a duffel bag, boy, but too much cash'll have 'em paranoid."
"Smurk Carter" is Durk's latest major record of the year following other joints like "F*ck You Thought and "Hellcats SRTs 2" with Sexyy Red. His lnew song arrives months after he delivered most recent album Almost Healed. The project features his smash hit "All My Life" featuring J. Cole as well as other collaborations with 21 Savage, Future, Alicia Keys, Kodak Black and the late Juice WRLD.
