Lil Durk Puts Out “All My Life (Remixes)” With Burna Boy & Stray Kids

by

Lil Durk’s messages of positivity are stronger than ever. The Chicago MC is back with some new versions of his feel-good smash hit, “All My Life.” Of course, we all know the original song features a terrific verse from J. Cole. But, Durk wanted to bring some new sauce and sure did that with two remixes. The first of the two-pack brings on Nigerian multi-talent, Burna Boy. Then, on the second rendition K-pop boy band, Stray Kids enters the mix.

It is worth mentioning that neither edition includes a different beat to fit each artist’s respective style. The same triumphant production from Dr. Luke remains. So, if you were hoping for that sort of change, you will not be happy. But, if you still enjoy the beat, then it is a win-win. However, what is unique about the Stray Kids inclusion is that J. Cole is removed from it to make room for all of the bandmates to shine.

While it is not as surprising to see Burna on a track with Lil Durk since he does do a lot of crossovers into hip-hop, Stray Kids is an enticing mixture. More and more rappers are beginning to dip their toes with artists from Asia, like Jack Harlow. It creates new and exciting ideas to keep rap fresh. Hopefully, others take these examples and run with it.

What are your initial thoughts on these remixes from Lil Durk, Stray Kids, and Burna Boy? Which version sounds the best to you so far? Are any of these improvements on the original with Durk and J. Cole? We would like what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Quotable Lyrics From (Burna Boy Remix):

Call me what you want, but don’t call me weak
All my life, they tryna put me on my knees (Ayele oh oh, Ayele ko ko)
All my life I try not to waste precious time, waste my precious time
I choose to speak life
Why they plot to take my life over food and wine?

by

Lil Durk undoubtedly had one of the biggest hits of the summer. His J. Cole collaboration “All My Life” reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and certainly made a cultural impact within the realm of hip-hop. After their first live performance of the song together last month at iHeart Radio Festival, the song shows to have longevity months after its release. Tonight (October 13), Durk and Cole have opted to take their song international with a fresh new remix pack.

In the remix pack are two new versions of “All My Life,” one featuring K-Pop group Stray Kids, and another with Afro-fusion superstar Burna Boy.

Burna opens the new version of the song, rapping about his rise to fame, going from a Nigerian staple to an international sensation.

“Head f*cked up as a young buck / Seven years couldn’t leave my continent / Came to America, sell out stadiums and turn up / At any time,” says Burna on his verse.

Durk and Cole’s verses remain the same as the verse on the original, but thankfully, many fans lauded these bars from the jump.

Lil Durk And Kid Cudi’s ‘Guitar In My Room’ Video Is A Luminous Look At Rap’s Most Influential Signature Sounds

by

If hip-hop’s 50th-anniversary celebrations have taught fans of the culture anything, it’s just how expansive the music has been. Rapper Lil Durk and Kid Cudi are two shining examples of the genre’s growth. The two sub-section innovators linked up for a new track titled “Guitar In My Room.”

Both the track and its official accompanying video are spearheaded by Cole Bennett. As the second single off Bennett’s forthcoming compilation album, “Guitar In My Room,” is a luminous look at their duo’s influential signature sounds. To open the record, Durk lets listeners into his bittersweet reality.

“I’m in a room with my guitar, I’m tryna prove that I’m a star / But I hate when we keep distance ’cause it’s a difference with response / Keep it natural the first day, we gon’ watch Tubi in the car / Ask me what’s my motivation, I say, ‘The trenches,’ she say, ‘Why?’ / I was takin’ all prescriptions, them drugs / I wanna ask for your permission, don’t judge / Before you ever get a job, get a gun,” rapped Durk.

Cudi shifts the energy from gloomy to litty when it is his turn on the mic. “Caught you in a dream, I hit you with that sauce / If we aim at the moon, no, baby, we won’t fall / She said she miss that feeling / A real n**** that is so appealin’ / Keep it low, baby, I’m not leavin’ / Soakin’ up your glory days slow / If there’s problems, I’ll solve ’em, no lie / You never had a n**** catchin’ all the signs / It’s time, baby, lost in the lights,” rapped Cudi.

Lil Durk And J. Cole Finally Performed ‘All My Life’ Live Together In Vegas For The First Time

Lil Durk had a hit on his hands this past summer. His J. Cole collaboration “All My Life” was in heavy rotation on the radio and streaming platforms these past few months. The song even reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. But despite the two rappers’ musical chemistry and the song’s undeniable impact, the two had never performed the song live together.

Until last night (September 22), that is. At iHeart Radio Festival in Las Vegas, Durk performed a comprehensive set of his several hits. During the set, he surprised fans by bringing out Cole for a performance of “All My Life.”

Though this was only the first time the duo has performed the song together live, the two matched each other’s energy well. The audience cheered when Cole arrived to the stage, and maintained their good spirits as the two performed the song.

While the two have a clear admiration for each other, Durk admitted in an interview with Complex that he felt Cole outrapped him on the song.

“The number one thing, he smoked my ass on that, for one,” Durk said. “Barely. That barely happens. But shoutout to Cole…We made it happen.”

You can see a clip of the performance above.

J. Cole & Lil Durk Perform “All My Life” Live For The First Time

It’s been odd to think about the fact that one of the year’s biggest hits so far hasn’t been performed by both its artists on the same stage. After all, isn’t that a surefire way to get a crowd excited and energized, especially at a music festival? Well, that’s what Lil Durk realized for his Friday (September 22) set at the iHeartRadio Music Festival. As the Billboard mainstay “All My Life” started to play, J. Cole emerged to thousands of fans excitedly cheering for his surprise appearance. The two rappers embraced for a moment, went close to the crowd, and got them bouncing for the chorus drop.

Furthermore, it’s great to see that Cole and The Voice were able to make this happen, even a while after its release. The two spoke very fondly of their respect for each other before and after their collaboration came to light. It proved to be a major standout on Lil Durk’s album Almost Healed, with both MCs operating at top form over one of the project’s most notable instrumentals. Compared to the Chicago drill artist’s other work, it’s emblematic of how tender, honest, and emotive that LP can be.

Here’s what Lil Durk most recently had to say about the collab in an Apple Music interview. “Shout out to J. Cole,” the “Pelle Coat” hitmaker began. “Even just to have that type of music out, just on a positive level, feels super, super good. I think that the J. Cole feature was definitely unexpected for my fans. He went super cr*zy. And it’s so cr*zy, because we’ve been talking for two years. He always be like, ‘Send me a record,’ and I’m like, ‘I got to find the right record.’

“And I’m glad I waited two years, because in my eyes he’s a legend,” he continued. “So if you have a chance to do a song with legend, do you send him something just to send it, just to say you got one, or you’re going to make it stick? So that’s why I never just sent him a record, because I want something that’s going to stick. As soon as I did the record, he was the first person that popped into my head. I’m like, ‘I got it.’” For more news and the latest updates on Lil Durk and J. Cole, come back to HNHH.
