Lil Durk is set to release his upcoming ninth studio album, Deep Thoughts, from prison on Friday, March 28.
The rapper was arrested on October 24 in Florida on a federal murder-for-hire charge, hours after several of his alleged associates were indicted on similar charges over their alleged involvement in a shooting aimed at rapper Quando Rondo.
Durk revealed the release date alongside a short trailer giving a glimpse into the studio process.
In the trailer, Durk's team sits in the studio while on a call with him from prison, surrounded by whiteboards featuring song titles and sequencing ideas.
Over the phone, Durk gives his approval for the concepts his team has been putting together, telling them he loves them before the call cuts off.
"I like the energy [of] what y'all are putting together," Durk said. "Even the list of songs you sent me is good so I know y'all putting better changes on that s**t. I know it gon' be bigger and better."
