Internet reacts to Lil Durk and Jhené Aiko's new upcoming single

Can't Hide It is expected to bring a unique combination of Jhené Aiko's soulful voice and Lil Durk's signature drill sound.

The song release announcement received mixed reactions from fans.

Here is what some of them had to say:

"Curious to see if this is more melodic and emotional or if Durk leans into Jhené’s dreamy R&B world. Either way, this one’s got potential!" - penned (@mandolinaes)

"I can't wait for this duo." - stated (@carpentology)

"Super curious to hear what they cooked up anyway" - added (@_CryptoJT_)

While these were some of the appreciative comments, there were a few critical ones too. This is what they had to say:

"We definitely dont want this mess" - remarked (@GNXsweetener)

"This is so tiring…like is it just me or have we all heard the same beat like a few million times" - criticized (@WestReloaded)

It is expected that Can't Hide It will go deep into themes of vulnerability and authenticity, as both artists tend to explore emotional narratives in their music, as seen in their previous songs. The album Deep Thoughts, of which Can't Hide It will be a standout track has been highly anticipated.

After facing delays due to legal issues, it is finally set to release. It also features prominent artists like Hunxho and boasts of production from well-known producers like Southside.
