7220

2.23.22

Lil Durk

Lil Durk is gearing up to drop a new album, though fans had thought they were getting it yesterday. What they did receive, was a new track yet again stirring the pot with other hip-hop artists, and announcing tour dates in April. We should still be getting a new album on March 11th, titled 7220.

Durk had shared a number of Tweets around “7220” and using the date, 2.22.22. There is sure to be a meaning behind the number, and my mind instantly went to when King Von had passed. Von’s death happened later in 2020, and he released two projects at some point in the same year, but I am not sure what exactly July 2nd represents.

The internet did go into a frenzy yesterday being 2.22.22, which some may consider lucky. Lil Durk mentioned dropping on this date, but perhaps due to the forceful presence of Donda 2 allegedly dropping on the same date, we did not receive an album. However, a single was still released with accompanying music video, titled, Ahhh Ha.

For Durk fans whom were ready for the album, the song title is less than funny, going back on a release date. However, with tour dates announced titled the 7220 Tour, I think it is safe to say that the album is very much on the way. The track itself, Ahhh Ha, in perfect Lil Durk fashion, stirs some controversy amongst his peers - whether that be in hip-hop, or surrounding O’Block.

In the song, Durk cites a few bars that fans think are directed at NBA Youngboy. The two have been beefing over social media, and actually started the “writing messages in money” trend, by sending each other threats, written in money, over social media. In the new track, Durk mentions people talking about murders after just being released from prison, which many are pinning towards Youngboy who was recently released from jail. There is also mention about a female whom allegedly has ties to both King Von, and more recently, NBA Youngboy.

Through the music video, which already has over four million views on YouTube, Von has his whole crew surrounding him entirely. The whole crew joins in “AHHH HA!” as twice throughout the track.

Interestingly enough, NBA Youngboy shared a new track on YouTube, I Hate Youngboy, which also has just over four million views already. NBA Youngboy can be heard dissing Lil Durk, his fiancé India, and many, many others. The description to this music video reads “I hate YoungBoy he always talking sh** ha ha!!!” So is this a direct response to Lil Durk’s Ahhh Ha?

How quick is too quick to rebuttal without being suspicious? How long is too long to still be beefing over the internet while rapping about not posting online? Do fans still want this Lil Durk album?
