Lil Durk reups, recharges, and reignites his #1 platinum smash “All My Life” with a pair of massive Remixes now featuring Stray Kids and Burna Boy, respectively. Listen to “All My Life (Remixes)” HERE.

With these Remixes, he adds another dimension to this 2023 anthem. Award-winning and chart-dominating K-Pop juggernaut Stray Kids bring Durk’s words to life as each member delivers his own interpretation of the story in either English or Korean. Meanwhile, Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy infuses “All My Life” with his signature style and spirit. Meanwhile, African Giant Burna Boy infuses “All My Life” with his signature Afro-fusion that has made him a global phenomenon.

The original “All My Life” [feat. J. Cole] picked up a platinum certification, soared to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, reeled in over half-a-billion streams in addition to 124 million YouTube views on the music video, and reached #1 at Rhythm and Urban Radio for consecutive weeks. Not to mention, it vaulted to #1 on the Billboard Rhythmic Chart and at Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart.

In a recent feature, Billboard pegged “All My Life” among “GRAMMYS 2024 BIG FOUR PREDICTIONS” as a contender for “Record of the Year” and “Song of the Year,” going on to proclaim, “The melodic chorus on this hip-hop smash gives it broad-based appeal.” Rolling Stone posited it might be up for “Best Rap Song” or “Song of the Year,” professing, “Lil Durk’s retro-leaning sing-song collaboration with J. Cole feels like a contender.”

It’s just the beginning though.

Lil Durk released his critically acclaimed blockbuster album, Almost Healed , earlier this year. Nearing half-a-billion streams, Almost Healed, marked his fourth consecutive Top 3 debut on the Billboard 200 and third straight #1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart.

Lil Durk has been putting in work for years. But this past summer, he earned the biggest hit of his career. His J. Cole collaboration “All My Life” from his Almost Healed album reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. There’s no doubt the song made an impact, but now, “All My Life” is about to make an impact globally.

Back in September, Durk and Cole performed the song live for the first time together at Heart Radio Festival in Las Vegas, which came to the surprise of fans. As the song has shown to have some longevity, Durk plans to keep the hype going.

Yesterday (October 10), Durk took to Twitter and Instagram to announce a remix pack for “All My Life” is on the way. Like the original, the remixes will feature J. Cole, but the duo will also be joined by two global forces.

Hopping onto the remixes Afro-fusion superstar Burna Boy, along with K-pop group Stray Kids. The individual remixes will each appear on a remix pack, set to drop this Friday, October 13.

“From Chicago to the world,” said Durk in the Instagram post’s caption. “Need yall to feel me on this remix! Let’s keep the positivity going.”

Burna Boy is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
