| Stop Callin Lil Durk’s Phone | September 5, 2013 |
Pretty sure that Lil Durk did not intend this as the anti-“867-5309,” but it’s a lot more fun if you imagine it that is. I’m still riding for Durk as the Drill rapper for people who don’t like drill rap. He’s gone full sad robot over the last couple releases, which adds an eerie sinister […]

| MobbDeen: King L, Chief Keef & A Quick Trip To Chicago (Without Actually Going There) | October 26, 2012 |
