Lil Durk Has Finished “The Voice” Album

Now that the dust has settled, it’s safe to say that Lil Durk emerged victorious from his brief but heated scuffle with Tekashi 6ix9ine. And now that the drama has faded, it’s time to look to the future. One day removed from his twenty-eighth birthday, an occasion celebrated by many of his peers and collaborators across social media, Durk confirmed that his upcoming album The Voice was complete, setting the stage for an imminent release.

“appreciate the love and the birthday wishes from y’all thank y’all fasho,” he captions, in a recent Instagram post. “p.s the voice album done.” At this moment, Durk has given little else to go off — nor has he clarified whether the project is simply finished tracking, or whether the mixing and mastering stages have been wrapped up. In any case, add Durk’s The Voice to the list of albums set to arrive before the year concludes, and be sure to revisit the titular single right here.

In other Durk related news, many fans are still vying for an update on the Metro Boomin’ produced No Auto Durk, which now seems likely for 2021. In this case, fans are more than willing to wait — after all, Metro Boomin has rarely been one to rush his output, and the final products tend to speak for themselves. Between that and The Voice, it’s looking like Durk is on the verge of an impressive run — one that may very well propel his career to the next level. Are you excited to check out his next album?

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”

The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.

The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.

Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.

Devan Ibiza adds soul and reflection on new release “Portland”

With “Portland,” Devan Ibiza creates a warm, thoughtful, atmospheric hip-hop record rooted in boom-bap’s deep, reflective energy. Soulful production and introspective mood make it a quiet moment of thought rather than a distraction.

“Portland” embodies classic hip-hop. Boom-bap gives it a rhythmic foundation, and warm, soulful production draws listeners in. This beat is perfect for contemplation, letting emotion and thought flow.

The single’s mood adds interest. Devan Ibiza values subtlety and atmosphere over loudness and trends. The song’s restraint is its strength. Late-night thoughts, personal memories, and quiet realizations make “Portland” contemplative.
