acting debut Archives - New Hip Hop News

Lil Durk recently appeared in the series finale of Power Book II: Ghost as his acting debut, and while some fans clowned him, others cheer. One of those supporters is his co-star LeToya Tonodeo (who played Diana Tejada in the 50 Cent-produced television show), who recently spoke to TMZ about Durk’s chops. “I thought he killed it!” she shared. “And I hope he keeps going with it. Like, you know, it’s the series finale… *sighs* it’s coming to an end. At least Power Book II: Ghost.

“But you know what they say, power never ends,” LeToya Tonodeo continued. “So we shall see. […] I think [Lil Durk has a magical quality]. I think so, I mean, he was dope to work with. Super cool, super chill. Yeah, I hope he keeps it going. I hope [we’ll see a lot of him in the future in Hollywood]. I hope so. You’d have to ask him, but in my opinion, I hope so.” As such, we imagine that Smurk feels pretty amazing about his acting debut despite some fans’ jokes. Who knows whether he’ll be the next breakout drama star, an action hero, or a comedic hit?

Elsewhere in Lil Durk’s world, he recently announced his new album Deep Thoughts, but fans are already pretty busy with his next moves. After all, it wasn’t too long ago that he revealed the tracklist for another project, Love Songs 4 The Streets 3. The record has Rod Wave on as both a feature and executive producer, with other guests including Future, Lil Baby, Morgan Wallen, Sabrina Carpenter, iShowSpeed, and Kai Cenat. It sounds like quite the eclectic mix, but we’ll see how it follows up or maybe even previews Deep Thoughts.

Meanwhile, the “Monitoring Me” spitter has a lot of options ahead of him. He’s always been a prolific musical artist, so maybe venturing more into the worlds of film and TV could either inspire more measured material or result in a lot of quick drops. Lil Durk has these two projects seemingly ready to go (Deep Thoughts drops on October 18) and seems like he might be busier than ever with a growing entertainment profile. The future is bright.

Obviously, fans can’t wait to see what SZA and Palmer have in store for them in the untitled film. Social media is already flooded with their predictions, with many agreeing that they’re excited to get a glimpse of SZA’s acting skills. A release date for the film has not yet been revealed. As for SZA’s other upcoming project, Lana, it might be a while.

At the end of last month, the “Kill Bill” performer took to social media to announce that she’d be starting the project from scratch due to leaks. “Y’all leaked three songs from the deluxe. At this point, y’all can keep the throwaways and leaks. I’ll be starting ‘Lana’ from scratch. Do not ask me about it again. Thank you,” she said.
