According to Rap UP, Chicago native Lil Durk was recently honored by Cook County, Illinois, with multiple keys to the city including the village of Broadview and the Village of Bellwood for his Neighborhood Heroes Foundation.
Lil Durk has always uplifted the Chicago community. Over the years, Durk has had a big lifestyle change and his has been on a positive route, including helping his friends and family convert to Islam.
The Neighborhood Heroes Foundation mission "empower and collaborate with everyday heroes who are taking the lead to make a positive change in the lives of those within under-resourced neighborhoods across the neighborhood."
"Thus the current state of the community in the Chicagoland. If this who thye champion, then they can no longer complain about the streets and the hood shyt that goes down on the block. Pathetic," on commenter said. Some people feel like Durk deserves this honor for all that he has done but others feel like it defeats the purpose if he still is rapping about gun violence and gang culture.
