There’s nothing like a Midwestern rap romance to warm the heart on a chilly November day. Chicago rapper Lil Durk and Detroit’s woman of the hour Dej Loaf show their softer sides and profess their love for one another on the new single “My Beyoncé” off of Durk’s upcoming mixtape 300 Days, 300 Nights.
The talented pair trade in their usually tough demeanors for gooey, romantic sentiments about each other. The syrupy, Auto-Tune-laden R&B track, produced by Chicago’s C-Sick, opens with Lil Durk singing Dej’s praises, leading into the undeniably catchy hook “Shawty my Beyoncé.”
After a few more bars detailing his affection, Dej takes over and steals the show. Her sing-song aesthetic is the perfect backdrop for her articulation of their love story, a timeless tale of planning, plotting, and rumors that ultimately culminates in “Durk and Dej/ I’m thinkin’ about changing my last name.”
The Internet has been buzzing about this alleged relationship for months, questioning its authenticity and potential ulterior motives. Publicity stunt or not, “My Beyoncé” epitomizes modern #relationshipgoals and is a contemporary ballad for lovebirds everywhere. Check out the track and send it to the Durk or Dej in your life.
