Lil Durk Reveals Plan To Stop The Violence & Get The City Together
“I Ain’t Speaking On The Dead No More None Of That” – Lil Durk Says
In a new interview released yesterday, Chicago’s own, Lil Durk, spoke on how he wants to stop the violence.
He adds that the moral responsibility of his platform weighs heavier on his heart than ever before, as gun violence continues to afflict not only his generation of drill rappers, but Black youth in Chicago as a whole.
“I’m going to start by getting the city together,” he says, “to do my part to slow down the violence.”
