Most 🎶 listeners don't even know Lil Durk been grinding for years. Blew up in 2013 but it took years for him to find his sound. To actually chart on Billboard(Hot 100 and Billboard 200) on a consistent basis. Didn'nt happen for him until 2020 when he was 27 years old.

Is 27 late these days

in relative music industry terms i'd say it's kind of late

Yes it is kind of actually. Someone(he in the industry trying to bring someone to Warner Bros) who came to the studio one day was looking for talent and he said he didn't want anyone over 25 years old.

fax Durk been goin strong for multiple years straight

I mean Tyler didn't fully mastered his skills until he was about 26. So this sounds about right.

rt this @Mitchell

Damn man I got 3 years left :(

Would have misssd DaBaby & a few others

Guess it depends on the circumstances. Doja Cat’s been around for almost a decade in the underground but she’s not considered a late bloomer

Durk on the other hand was already well known years ago but has probably had the biggest second wind of any rapper since 2 Chainz. For him to peak 10 years into his career as a prominent artist is pretty late.

No you dont lol thats just one man

Lot of people have been blowing up from age 24 to 28 since 2016

Even some in early 30s (especially on tiktok) although very few

Facts that what I didnt understand when the guy said it. Not right to overlook talent because their are some predestined famous musicians who will shine but not at the time they want. Some might shine at 26-33 or up.

these old niggas stupid. Talent is talent idgaf else about the other s***

Faxx

Just old ass gate keeping that isnt valid anymore since the 2010s & especially now with tiktok

No you don't. Like I said some shine at different moments in life. Some predestined famous musicians will shine between the ages of 26-34 or up. It won't happen when they want it to happen. It'll happen when it is supposed too.

Bro would have passed on 2 Chainz n Juicy J in the 2010s n missed one of the biggest revivals & popular artists of that decade 💀💀

"Nah they had their chance" headass boy

Facts. Some people who look for talent miss it sometimes. Knew a person who missed on signing Desiigner before he was famous.

Just needed sum reassurance, thanks bruh

for rap kinda

Industry rule number four thousand and eighty

Drake stimulus helped him. However Durk's success is deserved

Also on average it takes 2 to 4 years for the average rapper to pop

So dont be discouraged thinking s*** aint happening overnight

Isn’t mid 20s the norm lowkey? It seems like blowing up super young is some pop teeny bopper s*** specifically but not the rule or norm

Facts people be thinking some rappers blow up overnight. Nah they been grinding but you have to really search for their old songs or be from around their neighborhood/area t know that they been gridding for years.

Yeah but the stereotype/stigma of "its a young mans game" aka teens to 23ish still buzzez around here n there even tho its literally proven false

Lotta people dont realize the true age of some these rappers tho
