WHAT IT IS: Peaking at #4 on the Top 200 with 44k album-equivalent units and 52.7m streams in its debut week, Love Songs 4 the Streets 2 stresses the duality of Durk—with smooth and emotionally intelligent romantic jams, as well as intense anthems that project his street strength. The new album highlights his peerless melodic instincts on tracks like “Bougie,” which includes a guest appearance from Meek Mill, and “Extravagant,” a duet with Nicki Minaj, while showcasing “No Auto Durk” on hard-nosed tracks like recent single “Green Light” and the 21 Savage-featuring “Die Slow.”
