It’s officially Smurk season. Lil Durk just announced that his next album Almost Healed will release next week on May 12. Via Instagram, he shared the news with excited fans by sharing the cover art and release date, keeping his word. Moreover, the Chicago MC promised to do so if fans left 100K comments on a post promoting his upcoming music video with J. Cole. As such, fans responded rabidly and eventually reached the milestone, and Durk delivered just a few days later. Given just how much he teased this album’s arrival, his supporters must be ecstatic that it’s coming so soon after these updates.
Furthermore, Lil Durk said that the album was finished just a couple of weeks ago in April. However, one thing that remains to be seen is if he landed one of his dream features: SZA. “@sza the goat,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “Y’all bet not sleep or get blind. Every female every car every sale she really her… I need you on my album ASAP [trophy emoji and sunglasses emoji]. A hit not a regular song. Go tag sza blow her s**t down. Tell her Smurk need her.”
What’s more is that The Voice recently reflected on how therapy has helped him a lot in his personal life. We’ll see if such reflections find their way on Almost Healed‘s tracklist, whose title certainly points to that. “Being more open,” Lil Durk remarked on how the process has uplifted him. “Being more open to letting [my new manager] Pete [Jideonwo] in. Moving certain people out the way. That’s the best feeling. Therapy, the kids, the new team, all that. But the best feeling is really just starting over.
“I got a therapist so I cope different,” he continued. “I don’t show emotion. So, some people will be like, ‘Man, you can’t hold it in.’ And I just can’t talk to nobody usually. You gotta be careful how you tell people, what you tell people, because they can use it against you. They can find out your weaknesses. So now, when I talk to the therapist, then it start getting more emotional. But like somebody on the street, you’ll never even see me shed a tear. I think I had to go to therapy fresh out the womb.” Let us know if you’re excited for Almost Healed down in the comments below. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Durk.

Rapper and actor Ghetts has been charged in connection with a fatal hit-and-run incident.
The Supacell star, whose real name is Justin Clarke-Samuel, has been accused of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
According to London’s Metropolitan Police, the 41-year-old artist is alleged to have failed to stop after hitting a 20-year-old man on Redbridge Lane East in Ilford, East London, on Saturday 18 October.
The British grime performer appeared at Stratford Magistrates' Court on Monday and was remanded in custody ahead of his next scheduled appearance at Barkingside Magistrates' Court on Monday 27 October.
The victim passed away in hospital on Monday, and prosecutors are expected to upgrade the charge against Clarke-Samuel from causing serious injury to causing death by dangerous driving during the upcoming court hearing.
BBC News reports that police are appealing for any witnesses who may have information about the incident to come forward.
Ghetts, who performed at Glastonbury last year, has released five albums and collaborated with major artists such as Ed Sheeran, Stormzy and Skepta during his career.
In 2024, he earned a Mercury Prize nomination for his album On Purpose, with Purpose and also appeared in the Netflix superhero series Supacell in a supporting role.
