Chicago rapper Lil Durk recently talked about the fatal slaying of his manager OTF Chino and explained how much of a role he will continue to have in his music.

Despite his passing, Durk assured fans Chino’s presence will be felt on his upcoming Remember My Name album.

“He’ll be involved in everything,” Lil Durk expressed regarding the LP. “[Chino] and my manager D Thang, they really put everything together. They formatted everything. I would just give them the names and they would format everything. We just keep our heads up and keep going through the music, because if we stop then we’re messing everything up. We gotta keep going.” (XXL Mag)

Durk also dismissed the idea of slowing down or taking time away from recording to mourn.

After suffering the loss of close friend and fellow OTF member NuNu last June, Durk says he’s going to continue grinding in both of his slain associates’ honors. “If we stop, we’ll give everybody what they want,” the MC said, adding that although he grieves heavily in private, in public his game face is always present. “We just gotta tear up in the room by ourselves and go out the room and be happy.” (XXL Mag)

The fatal shooting took place last month.

Uchenna Agina, 24, was shot at 1:50 a.m. Friday while sitting in a car in the 8400 block of South Stony Island Avenue, authorities said. He was hit multiple times and died after being driven to Advocate Trinity Hospital in the Calumet Heights neighborhood, police said. (DNA Info)

The manager of Durk’s deejay spoke out on the shooting.

Agina, early Friday, went to get food on the South Side with his girlfriend. He was shot in the face while sitting in his car, Jackson said. The shooter apparently targeted him as soon as they arrived at the restaurant, he said. “It definitely hit me kind of unexpectedly,” Jackson said. “He wasn’t a gangbanging type of dude.” (DNA Info)
