U.K. YouTuber Trap Lore Ross, known for his in-depth crime documentaries focusing on hip-hop figures, has made headlines once again with the release of his latest project. On December 23, 2024, he unveiled a four-hour documentary titled The Many Murders of Lil Durk, which explores the Grammy-winning rapper’s alleged connections to several violent incidents and his tumultuous history in Chicago.
The documentary begins with a disclaimer from Ross, emphasizing that the information presented is sourced from publicly available materials, including rumors, lyrics, legal documents, and personal interpretations. The extensive film delves into Lil Durk’s controversial past and current legal troubles, providing viewers with a comprehensive look at the rapper’s life.
Lil Durk, currently facing a federal RICO case, has been denied bond, with his trial set to begin on January 7, 2025. The documentary alleges that Durk is connected to six murders, including those of FBG Duck, FBG Cash, Lul Pab, Jaski, Oil, and Stephon Mack. The film takes a closer look at the murder of Durk’s brother, DThang, who was shot and killed in June 2021. Ross characterizes the deaths of Jaski, Oil, and Mack as particularly personal for Durk, while the killing of FBG Duck is depicted as a more calculated act.
In addition to detailing these alleged connections, the documentary highlights Durk’s current legal challenges. He faces charges related to conspiracy, murder-for-hire, and the use of firearms in violent crimes. Despite his legal situation, reports indicate that Durk remains in good spirits while in detention.
As the documentary progresses, it concludes with a poignant statement: “With all the self-incrimination Durk has done in 2023, it’s only a matter of time before people piece things together.” This comment reflects the serious nature of the allegations and the scrutiny surrounding the rapper’s actions and lyrics.
Prior to this documentary, Trap Lore Ross had consistently referenced Lil Durk in his other Chicago-related projects, which have sparked criticism and confrontations with local rappers who have urged him to cease his investigations into their lives. The impact of Ross’s work has not gone unnoticed, as it has contributed to the ongoing narrative surrounding Chicago’s rap scene and its association with violence.
Before his arrest, Lil Durk was preparing to release his upcoming album, Deep Thoughts, but his current legal struggles are reportedly tied to the death of fellow OTF artist King Von. Von was fatally shot in 2020 during an altercation with rival Quando Rondo and his entourage outside an Atlanta nightclub, a situation that has continued to reverberate through the hip-hop community.
As the documentary gains traction, it raises critical discussions about the relationships between artists, their environments, and the impact of public perception on their careers. Trap Lore Ross’s efforts to document these stories shed light on the complexities and challenges faced by artists in the hip-hop industry, particularly those from high-crime areas like Chicago.
