Kicking off in Dallas on October 15, the ‘Gag Order Tour’ will see Kesha bring new songs as well as her brigade of hits like ‘Blow,’ ‘Die Young,’ and ‘Tik Tok’ to live audiences in Nashville, Chicago, Boston, New Orleans, Atlanta, Philadelphia, and more before wrapping up in Los Angeles on November 18.

Lil Durk‘s eighth studio album, the May 26-released ‘Almost Healed,’ may be nothing short of a star-studded affair thanks to features from Future, 21 Savage, Juice Wrld, Morgan Wallen, J. Cole, Kodak Black, and others.

But, even with that level of star power lining its tracklist, a standout track comes courtesy of the set’s opener: ‘Therapy Session’ featuring 15-time GRAMMY-winning R&B diva Alicia Keys.

Ahead of the arrival of ‘Healed,’ Durk unleashed a visual for the cut alongside the tune ‘Pelle Coat.’

“Like how I’ma sacrifice Von? I’m the only n-gga reached for his hand / Like why lie like I ain’t give up money for the funeral? / I’m like, “Damn,” he raps on the deeply personal tune. ” I ain’t see his kids yet, same time they probably believe what they hearing / I ain’t makin’ statements for the whole case, like how I’ma tell on my mans?”

On track to help its parent album be the week’s top-selling new album, look inside to hear ‘Therapy Session’ and ‘Pelle Coat’ and stream ‘Almost Healed.’
