Almost Healed released on Friday (May 26), and is expected to be the week’s biggest debut. The 21-track LP includes the charting single “All My Life” featuring J. Cole, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also includes musical efforts from Future, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, Rob49, the late Juice WRLD, and Morgan Wallen.
The Chicago rapper recently revealed that he isn’t too fond of “lyrical rappers” but has always been a fan of J. Cole, Jay-Z and Lil Wayne. He’s also worked with Nas, Big Sean, J.I.D, Cordae, Chance The Rapper, Talib Kweli and others. Durk told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily that he single-handily picked Cole to be on the collaborative record.
“Whatever mood I’m in, I just go to the studio and just make the music,” he said. “I just feel like a positive vibe went up with Dr. Luke, you know what I’m saying? That’s the first song he played and I just felt it and I’m like, ‘Man, I want J. Cole on this. And I made it happen. I’ve been talking to him, checking up on him, just seeing how you doing. You wait for the right moment for him to ask to be on the song. The song be big.”
