"Monitoring Me" is a song by American rapper Lil Durk, released on October 4, 2024, as the second single from his ninth studio album, Deep Thoughts (2025). It was produced by Southside, CuBeatz, TooDope, T9C, and KblessOfficial.
Composition
The production contains "ominous piano stabs" and "tinkling keys",[2] over which Lil Durk criticizes his enemies for their dishonesty and raps about the activities of his crew on the streets of Chicago. He also mentions keeping some details secret, as it is possible someone is listening.[3]
Critical reception
Elias Andrews of HotNewHipHop gave a positive review, lauding the song for its "instrumental that amplifies his vocal timbre" and writing "The beat is simple in the best possible way." He additionally remarked, "The song manages the rare feat of being instantly catchy but decidedly gritty. Durk is so good at making trap anthems that he doesn't even need to worry about putting a commercial spin on it. 'Monitoring Me' is that good."[2]
