Lil Durk Reflects On Decade-Long Career In New Song 'Turn Up A Notch'

Lil Durk continues the redemption arc of his life story with his new song.

On Wednesday, September 25, the Chicago rapper dropped his new single "Turn Up A Notch" produced by Southside and Smatt. The track begins with audio from a viral video, in which Durkio's longtime fan finally got a chance to meet him at Rod Wave's birthday concert in Florida last month. You can see Durk turn up with his day-one fan at the beginning of the song's official music video. The 31-year-old artist also reflects on the beginning of his career when people used to count him out to his first-ever Grammy win.

This is Lil Durk's third solo track of the year. He kicked off 2024 with "Old Days" and served up "Went Hollywood For A Year" in June. Since then, the face of OTF has shared snippets of other songs like his upcoming collaboration with Drake, "Discontinuing Wokhardt." The aforementioned tracks are expected to appear on his next project Love Songs For The Streets 3. The album will serve as the follow-up to his 2019 LP Love Songs For The Streets 2. As of this report, the release date for his upcoming album has not been revealed.

Lil Durk dropped his latest track a few days after he confirmed his criminal record had been wiped clean. In a post he made on X over the weekend, Durk announced that he is no longer a felon.

"Everybody should get second chances at life," he wrote. "It’s about what you do with it. Alhamdulillah! My background wiped and clean of all cases. I ain’t a felon anymore. Who would have thought? I want to thank everyone who helped push my vision forward. Thank you from the bottom of my heart #THEVOICE"
