American rapper and record executive, Radric Delantic Davis, known professionally as Gucci Mane is keeping his foot on throttle regarding music releases in 2022 as he’s back with a whole new single called ‘Rumors’ where he joins forces withan American rapper and singer from Chicago, Illinois, Durk Derrick Banks, known professionally as Lil Durk. The hard hitting track is produced by Tay Keith and comes along with a music video.
Published Times recall that Guwop and Durkio first appeared on a track together back in August, 2014 on War Wit Us Remix, which marks “Rumors” as their second collaboration in eight years. The song was first previewed when the two rappers were seen shooting the music video with fellow rapper EST Gee and Only The Family members Doodie Lo, Booka600, and Memo600 in Atlanta on January 14, 2022.
Honestly, there’s nothing like kicking off the week with a surprise drop from Gucci Mane and Lil Durk. On Monday (January 24), Gucci Mane shared a preview of his new track “Rumors” which hosts a look from Chicago icon Durkio. The last time these two met on wax was back in 2014 on Durk’s “War Wit Us (Remix)” where listeners found Gucci adding his talents for the assist. They traded spots this time around, and Gucci is counting on it becoming a hood anthem.
On Tuesday (January 25), Guwop unleashed his latest single “Rumors” featuring Chicago’s own Lil Durk. The single marks another collaboration between Gucci and Durkio as they’ve partnered up before on the “Wit Us.” Their new song comes with a music video that finds the two rap stars back in the trenches rapping about fending off their opps.
“Them niggas get on y’all ass, y’all play with me like I ain’t worse/Tryna gossip up the blogs like y’all ain’t said my name first/He a junkie, he ain’t shot his gun yet, he blame Percs/Shot a video and had a shootout in the same shirt,” Lil Durk rapped to open the Tay Keith-produced song.
Gucci Mane follows right behind Durk rapping, “He took it to trial, I tried to tell him it was stupid (I knew it)/They gave him so much time, his knees got weak and he was woozy (Damn)/Watch the shit you say, the feds be listening to the music (Woah)/And they gon’ take your lyrics and build a case and try to use it.”
Gucci predicted he had a hit on his hands with Durkio as he took to Instagram the day before the release to announce the song will have the streets going crazy.
“This gone be a street smash when we drop this,” he wrote on Instagram. Not only have we received the track, but Gucci and Durk dropped off the visual where fans can see them posted up with their crews as they spit bars about their indestructibility in the streets. Tay Keith holds down production on this one, so stream “Rumors” and let us know what you think of Gucci and Durk’s latest.
The song proves Guwop and Durkio are letting up when it comes to music in the new year. The Chicago rap star just collaborated with Jeremih and 50 Cent on the new theme song for Power Book IV: Force called “Powder Power Respect” while Gucci Mane unleashed his tribute record to the late Young Dolph titled “Long Live Dolph.”
Gucci Mane helped pioneer the hip hop subgenre of trap music alongside fellow Atlanta-based rappers T.I. and Young Jeezy, particularly in the 2000s and 2010s. Lil Durk is the lead member and founder of the collective and record label Only the Family.
Qyotable Lyrics:
- I jumped on the school bus,
- and I had brung a Ruger
- Always drank an 8th of Act’,
- I never drunk a cooler
- They get your location,
- they might pop outside in Ubers
