The Asakaa Boys, trailblazers of the Ghanaian drill scene, are riding high on a wave of excitement following the acknowledgment of their music by Grammy-nominated American rapper Lil Durk.
Lil Durk took to Instagram to share a snippet of the track “Lonely On The Road” from O’Kenneth and Xlimkid’s EP “Pain in Glory.”
The rapper, recently nominated for the 66th Grammy Awards, dedicated the post to thanksgiving day, paying tribute to his late brother who passed away in 2021.
Notably, this marks the second time Lil Durk has vibed to the Asakaa Boys’ song, fueling the enthusiasm of both the group and their fanbase.
The recognition from such a prominent figure in the global music scene is a significant milestone for the Ghanaian drill genre, which has been gaining international attention.
The genre’s rise to prominence began with the endorsement from the late Virgil Abloh, and Lil Durk’s appreciation serves as another powerful endorsement, solidifying the genre’s journey toward widespread international recognition.
