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.

Alex Wolff has spoken about forming a “musical spark” with Billie Eilish that led to their current tour together.
The Hereditary actor’s musical project with his brother, Nat & Alex Wolff, is opening on Eilish’s ongoing ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ tour, while the trio recently collaborated on single ‘Soft Kissing Hour’.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Wolff detailed how he and Eilish connected at the Oscars and Coachella, admitting he’s “not really sure” if the ‘Birds Of A Feather’ singer was a fan of their music beforehand.
“We just met and hit it off [at an Oscars party], and then there was a weekend at Coachella where we played songs back and forth,” he recalled. “There was this musical spark that went off, and it was just an immediate connection.
“And then Nat [Wolff] played her his new song ‘Soft Kissing Hour,’ and she just said, ‘Oh, I want to produce that song.’ So we got really lucky that she produced it and sang on it, and it’s one of our favorites that we’ve made.”
Wolff called it “a great privilege to get to have her as a friend and to get to play music with her”, adding: “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We really believe she’s the voice of her generation.”
As well as Hereditary, Wolff recently starred in Oppenheimer and A Quiet Place: Day One.
Eilish is currently in the middle of the North American leg of her ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ tour, which will be hitting the UK and Ireland next summer – including six nights at London’s O2 Arena. You can click here for any remaining North American tickets, and here for UK and Ireland tickets.
Meanwhile, Eilish recently shared her shock at learning that Rihanna wanted her as a dream musical collaborator. Responding in her Instagram Stories, Eilish wrote: “What in the absolute fuck oh my god what the fuck”.
Last month, Eilish performed her songs ‘Birds Of A Feather’ and ‘Wildflower’ on Saturday Night Live alongside her brother Finneas.
