Cole and produced by Dr. Luke, has reached impressive positions on Billboard's Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, peaking at No. 2 and No. 1, respectively.
Describing the album, the Chicago rapper explains that he speaks as "The Voice," representing the experiences and struggles that many individuals, including himself, have gone through but may go unnoticed. "Almost Healed" serves as a reflection of the journey through challenging situations and the healing process.
This release follows Lil Durk's 2022 album, "7220," named after his grandmother's address. With collaborations alongside Future and Summer Walker, the 17-track project became Durk's first solo No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart.
