XlimKid, the new prodigy championing the genre and Jay Bahd, also a collaborator on O'Kenneth's Pain in Glory, have already expressed their thoughts on Lil Durk's post.

Most of the Asakaa Boys are thrilled by the All My Life hitmaker, who has been nominated for the 66th Grammy Awards.

They have taken his new post as a co-sign and look forward to what such a gesture may lead to, especially now that the genre, formally known as Ghanaian Drill, continues its journey for global dominance.

For many of the genre's fans, gestures like these mean a lot, considering that the Asakaa Boys earned its first global frenzy with a co-sign from the late Virgil Abloh.
