Lil Durk Gets The Narduwar Treatment
"In the beginning, you sent your music to Rude Boy Entertainment?" Narduwar asked a surprised Lil Durk at Summer Smash in Chicago. "Yeah," Lil Durk said with a laugh, "Yeah. I told her that," Durk continued, pointing to someone behind the camera. "In Iowa?" Narduwar confirmed as Durk kept laughing before correcting him that it was in fact in Indiana. "What was that like?"
"It was cr*zy. Recording in like a closet. They didn't believe, everyone didn't believe in us. We were making our type of music. Shout out rude boys." It's exactly the sort of question that has made Ruskin's journalism legendary, and indispensable. Furthermore, Ruskin opened the interview quoting Durk's verse from "Maserati".
