Durk had originally intended to title his new album, The Voice 2.0. However, he and his team made a last-minute adjustment after getting advice from ASAP Rocky. Speaking with the Los Angeles Times for a new interview, Durk’s manager, Peter Jideonwo, recalled Rocky saying, “‘Y’all need to call it something else, ‘The Voice’ doesn’t really do nothing.' We had this powerful conversation that was almost three hours long, and Durk said the words ‘almost healed.’ We decided to go with that.” Durk also discussed his choice to start therapy with the outlet. He explained, “On a microphone, I’m just having fun, rapping about whatever I’m going through. In therapy, I’m going into the details of why, or when, or how.”
