    It’s so motivating seeing Durk’s growth!! He went from being a “drill artist” to one of the biggest ARTIST’s.
    He does way more than just drill now, he has so much good music in his catalog. And it’s music that lasts! I still listen to old durk as well as new durk. People need to start giving this man his flowers while he is here. Because tomorrow is never promised for anybody!! 💯🎶

    Never really knew Durk besides through his songs. I have a whole knew respect for him man. Very intelligent man, motivated, and multi venturing with business says a lot about who he is as a person. I hope nothing but the best for this man in all ventures of his life. He’s using his blessing to bless so many family’s with work so they can feed their families and set up his children. I look forward to seeing what he can do in the future. My hat goes off to this bro.

    People have always tried to say that durk has no emotions and that his face is always blank and forward staring ... it's just not true. Durk knows the laugh off all the oddity of the industry, and to keep every single bit of drama, hype chaos in stride . Neves gets too up and never too down (or at least for what we see). He let's everything slide off the shoulders. Keeps it on pocket
