You may notice something different with Lil Durk‘s music. He is still handling the death of his brother as well as his friend King Von. He said due to their deaths he will not say names in his songs anymore because he does not want to instigate any type of violence.

I’m not speaking on the dead no more. I’m not chasing death no more. I’m chasing a billion dollars. I want our kids to grow up safe and sound, to be able to have fun, to have a real life.

The past two years have been a triumphant time for @lildurk. “I’ve been through a lot," he says.

The Chicago rapper faced unimaginable grief on his way to superstardom. Now he wants to stop the violence.https://t.co/odVrWI24SF
