Recently, NYC rapper Kyle Ricch shared his thoughts on a never-before-heard song by Lil Durk from the latter’s forthcoming ninth studio album, titled Deep Thoughts. Slated for release on November 22 under the banners of Sony Music, Only the Family, and Alamo Records, this album marks Lil Durk’s first major project following his recent legal troubles.
According to records from the police, OTF artist Lil Durk was taken into custody on October 24 on allegations related to a murder-for-hire scheme. Several of his associates, including Kavon London Grant (Vonnie), Deandre Dontrell Wilson (DeDe), David Brian Lindsey (Browneyez), Asa Houston (Boogie), and Keith Jones (Flacka), were also apprehended on the same day, as reported by XXL.
A video that quickly gained traction online featured Kyle Ricch listening to the unreleased track from Lil Durk, and he openly shared his reactions. Fans flocked to X to express their excitement about the song, eagerly anticipating its release. Here are some notable comments:
“He was cooking before he was gone.”
“Man, the streets need Durk home. Free Durkioo!”wrote another user.
“Nah he gotta drop this,”one fan commented.
Numerous users took to social media to question how Kyle Ricch came to possess an unreleased track by Lil Durk.
“Why tf he got it,”one person asked.
“How do you know it’s from the album?”pointed out another.
“Because he’s on the album and probably the song he’s previewing,”explained another netizen on the platform.
As discussions continued, opinions on Kyle Ricch’s reaction and Lil Durk’s track poured in.
“I ain’t gon lie that shit need to stay put up,”noted one individual.
“He delivered before he was gone,”commented another.
“Kyle Ricch be solid for him Smurk,”observed another fan.
In connection with his arrest, Lil Durk faces accusations of orchestrating a murder-for-hire against rapper Quando Rondo, who was targeted on August 19, 2022. Reports state that Quando Rondo and his cousin Lul Pab were shot at while in a black Cadillac Escalade at a gas station, with Lul Pab tragically losing his life, while Rondo emerged safe.
According to Billboard, the charges against Lil Durk specify:
“Banks [Lil Durk] placed a monetary bounty on an individual named T.B [Rondo]. Banks ordered T.B.’s murder, and the hitmen utilized finances associated with Banks and OTF to carry out the act.”
Federal authorities allege that the violent act was partly in retaliation for the death of OTF member King Von, who was killed in 2020 amid an alleged gang confrontation in Atlanta.
Legal Insights from Celebrity Attorney Bradford Cohen on Lil Durk’s Case
Celebrity attorney Bradford M. Cohen discussed the legal proceedings involving Lil Durk and his associates during an October 29 podcast episode on the Law & Crime Sidebar with Jesse Weber.
Cohen indicated that unlike some of his associates, who have extensive evidence against them, including flight tickets and video footage, there appears to be insufficient evidence implicating Lil Durk directly.
“I think that Durk will still have a defense…. I think there are some missing pieces regarding how involved he was in this alleged conspiracy. The other guys, they have plane tickets, a car, and video evidence. That’s a tough position for their legal teams,”he stated.
However, he mentioned having come across a text where Lil Durk allegedly instructed someone not to associate him with “any kind of flights.”While he deemed the text unfavorable, he emphasized that the evidence remains circumstantial.
Moreover, Cohen elaborated on how federal authorities can gather evidence:
“There are numerous ways today to collect evidence against individuals involved in these crimes—be it cell phone records or GPS information. They often cross-reference phones to see which ones were together at relevant times, as well as vehicle rental agreements and surveillance footage,”he explained.
He went on to highlight how often the feds manage to acquire evidence from unlikely sources, stating:
“Surprisingly, they manage to get footage from red light cameras or from neighbors, while my attempts to obtain beneficial footage for my clients get thwarted.”
Lil Durk was first presented in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on October 25, just a day post-arrest. He remains in federal custody, with an arraignment anticipated in the near future.
