It's the season of change for Lil Durk. While the Chicago native has solidified himself as The Voice with an extensive catalog that has earned him respect from the trenches to red carpets, he understands that getting to the next level of success includes leaving some things behind. Durkio opens up about exactly what that entails in an exclusive interview as he graces the cover of XXL magazine's Spring 2023 issue. The 30-year-old rap star has been looking ahead to a new album, which arrives in May, and leaving legal issues in the past. He offers details on all as well as discusses why he changed his inner circle, finding out Jay-Z motivates him, the real deal regarding his relationship with his love India Royale and much more in a candid conversation.
