Lil Durk has been receiving some negative reviews for his track, "Sad Songs." The song is from his latest album, Almost Healed, which he shared with fans yesterday. The album has been projected to be one of the hottest of the year, with the LP already taking over streaming charts.
"Lil Durk shoulda dropped his album when he was fully healed because this ain’t it," wrote one Instagram user. Several other dissatisfied listeners followed suit, claiming that the track's sound did Durk no favors. One user sounded off about their disappointment, writing, "We Don’t F*ckin like it straight up." They continued, saying "[Durk's] last album was good every artist won’t have a hit album all the time." The user suggests, "he needs to grow more and develop more he already don’t care about lyrics which is really undeserving of him in the industry that’s why it’s garbage."

Earlier this week, Durk shared more about his healing process with DJ Akademiks during his Off The Record podcast. He told the DJ, "Everybody mourns." He added that he's turned his religion often as a means to get through hard times. Durk says, "I lay the rug down, I pray- I cry on the rug, I cry while I’m praying, I cry during Ramadan."
