"Pelle Coat" is a song by American rapper Lil Durk. It was released through Only the Family, Alamo Records, and Sony Music as the second and final single from his eighth studio album, Almost Healed, on May 25, 2023. Durk wrote the song with producer Chopsquad DJ.
On "Pelle Coat", Durk raps about and pays tribute to people close to him that have died, including his artist, King Von, and his brother, DThang: "I send money to jails, I send money for funerals / Even though they goin' to hell for all them niggas they killed / You know I'm part of my brother 'nem forever ever, ever, I'm goin' to hell".[1] He also talks about how his fans have been telling him on social media to get revenge on the people who killed the two and praying to God to help better his situation: "Mornin' time I get on my knees, I pray to Allah / Forgive me for the shit that I did / Let me get closer to my kids / Can you protect all my friends?"[2]
The official music video for "Pelle Coat", directed by Steve Cannon. premiered alongside the song on May 25, 2023, one day before the release of its parent album, Almost Healed. It stars Durk and Alicia Keys and is a combined music video for the song, as well as "Therapy Session", a collaboration with Keys and the song before on the album. Keys serves as Durk's therapist to listen to him talk about the emotional pain he feels from his loved ones dying although they are not physically in the same location.[3] As the video transitions from "Therapy Session" to "Pelle Coat", it sees Durk walking through the streets of his hometown of Chicago, Illinois, and sees him walk past a mural of King Von and pray with his father in a mosque.[4]
