Back in 2015, Lil Durk told the world to Remember My Name with his debut album and nowadays it’s a lot easier to do so thanks to his recent mainstream success. In 2020 he earned two top-2 albums with Just Cause Y’all Waited 2 and The Voice. He also got himself a top-2 single thanks to “Laugh Now, Cry Later” with Drake. Last year, Durk earned his first No. 1 album through Voice Of The Heroes with Lil Baby, and this year, he scored his first solo chart-topping album with 7220. Now, 7220 is Durk’s first full-length release to spend multiple weeks at No. 1.

7220 returned to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated April 23, 2022. It did so on a low-selling week as 7220 reclaimed the top crown by selling just 47,000 units. That number is comprised of 46,000 streaming equivalent album units thanks to 68.56 million on-demand official streams of the album’s songs. 7220 also had less than 1,000 pure albums units sold in its return to No. 1. Lil Durk’s seventh album had the lowest sales week for a No. 1 album since A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s 2019 release Hoodie SZN topped the charts with just 46,500 album units sold.

Elsewhere, Jack White’s Fear Of The Dawn made for the highest Billboard 200 debut this week as it checked it at No. 4 with 42,000 albums units sold. 42 Dugg and EST Gee’s Last Ones Left checks in at No. 7, Fivio Foreign’s B.I.B.L.E. arrives at No. 9, while Camila Cabello rounds out the top ten with Familia.

Lil Durk is a genius. He killed three birds with one stone with his “Blocklist” video.

The first bird, he delivered a video for one of the hottest songs off one of the hottest albums in Hip-Hop. 7220, the album dedicated to Durk’s grandmother, is his first No.1 album and “Blocklist” is a fan favorite from the album, and fans got a video.

The second bird, made Shmurkioo’s dream come true. Last week, Shmurkioo went viral for walking through a mall pretending to be the Chicago rapper. He succeeded with the prank as everyone surely did confuse Shmurkioo for Lil Durk. Well, the prank caught the attention of real Durk, and he agreed to cast Shmurkioo in his latest video, “Blocklist,” which brings us to the third bird.

Shmurkioo wanted to be Durk so bad that he was Durk, in the video, that is. Lil Durk didn’t even have to be in the video. Shmurkioo and Lil Durk are so identical that he effortlessly pulled the role off as the OTF boss. The “Blocklist” video was a brilliant move by Lil Durk. Check out the video and tells how you feel about Shmurkioo’s Durk impression.

Lil Durk Calls On His Viral Lookalike To Help Him Conquer The ‘Blocklist’ In A New Video

Last year was a pretty strong one for Lil Durk. He earned his first No. 1 project thanks to Voice Of The Heroes, his joint album with Lil Baby. Elsewhere, he capitalized on work from his 2020 year which gave him a pair of top-2 albums with Just Cause Y’all Waited 2 and The Voice. In 2022, Durk is taking things even higher and it started with his seventh album 7220 which became his first solo No. 1 album. With rumors of a deluxe reissue of the album on the way, Durk keeps the spirit of 7220 alive with a new video.

The latest visual from 7220 to get the video treatment is “Blocklist.” While many have expected an appearance from Durk himself in the video, he instead recruits his lookalike, Perkio for the visual. In it, Perkio frustrates his girlfriend with his actions at a strip club. As a result, he ends up on the blocklist leaving Perkio to do everything in his power to get his partner to forgive him.

Perkio recently went viral after he and filmmaker King Cid tricked people at a Florida shopping mall into thinking he was the real Lil Durk. To Perkio and Cid’s credit, and in defense of the shoppers, the duo did everything in their power to make sure the prank worked. They rented a Lamborghini and hired fake paparazzi and a security team. Perkio even had fake versions of Lil Durk’s actual tattoos. All in all, it was a successful prank that absolutely worked in Perkio’s favor.

You can watch the video for “Blocklist” above.
