Lil Durk has been having quite a run this year, whether it be through features or his own tracks. Of course, he dropped the highly-anticipated Just Cause Y'all Waited 2, and on Friday, he came through with the deluxe version, which includes seven new songs. One of those new tracks is the standout "Denied In UK" which sees Durk at his sharpest in terms of lyrics.

Throughout "Denied In UK," Durk raps over a soulful sample that evokes some emotions off the jump. From there, Durk raps about his significant other and how a recent trip to London had him wanting to give her the world. It's clear the distance made the two grow closer, and you can feel this emotion through his bars. 

Overall, this is Lil Durk at his finest so definitely give the track a listen.

Quotable Lyrics:

If you know me like you know me, I can't get tired of thugging
I choose you over any bitch, and I can't deny it in public
And I can't deny the way I feel, that's why I can't hide the struggle
Felt like I was locked up in immigration when I got denied in London
