Beginning his career, from 2011 to 2012, Durk released his debut, un-official mixtape, Iโm a Hitta which was released on August 26, 2011. On April 3, 2012, Durk released his sophomore mixtape, a sequel to his previous tape, Iโm Still a Hitta. Durka later released his third mixtape on November 5, 2012, titled Life Ainโt No Joke
Like many drill artists, Durkโs early career was plagued with legal issues and accusations of violence. These issues eventually led to his shows being canceled.
From 2013 to 2015 Durk released a total of four projects, three mixtapes, and an album. October 10, 2013, marked the release of the first Signed to the Streets, one of Durkโs most notable mixtapes and the start of a series. In the summer of 2014, specifically July 4, Durk released a sequel to Signed to the Streets and released Signed to the Streets 2 featuring his โWhat You Do to Meโ.
2015 would be an enormous year for Lil Durk as in July 2015, Durk released his debut studio album, Remember My Name which featured his Jeremih-assisted โLike Me.โ Later that year, Durk released his sixth mixtape 300 Days 300 Nights which included his then-girlfriend, Dej Loaf-assisted, โMy Beyoncรฉ.โ
From 2016 to 2017, Durk released a total of four solo projects and one collaborative project. On July 22, 2016, Durk released his sophomore studio album, Lil Durk 2X accompanied by features such as Future, Young Thug, Yo Gotti and more. Ending the year, Durk released They Forgot, his seventh mixtape.
Beginning 2017, in February, Durk released his seventh mixtape, Love Songs for the Streets, which is deemed as one of his most notable projects including features from Moneybagg Yo and YFN Lucci. Later that year in August, Durk released a collaborative EP with Lil Reese titled Supa Vultures; the project included his โNobody Knowsโ. On October 19, 2017, Durk carried on with his Signed to the Streets series with the highly anticipated Signed to the Streets 2.5. The mixtape included the start of yet another song series titled โIndiaโ dedicated to his fiancรฉ India Cox otherwise known as India Royale.
In 2018, Durk released two projects, he began with Just Cause Y'all Waited, Durkโs highest-charting mixtape peaking at #57 on the Billboard 200. Durk then released a sequel to Love Songs for the Streets titled Love Songs 4 the Streets 2. Durk was extremely successful prior to this album, however, many say that this exact album broke Durk into the mainstream rap industry as it had been his first project to chart in the top 10 of the Billboard 200.
2020 was an even better year for Lil Durk as he released his almost chart-topping Just Cause Yโall Waited 2 which peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200. It was later followed up with a deluxe.
The scars of violence run deep in Durkโs discography, particularly arising from the loss of OTF members Nunu (Nuski) and King Von at the hands of gunfire. Both artists are commemorated on his album The Voice, for which a deluxe version was released in 2021.
Anointing himself as the voice of the streets, Durk followed up this project with the release of the collaborative album The Voice of the Heroes with Lil Baby which brought the Chicago native artist his first #1 album.
Marking his first solo #1 album, in March 2022, Lil Durk released a melodramatic take on the deaths of his loved ones through an album titled 7220. The album became Durkโs first solo project to top the charts.

Lil Durk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Send her ass to Molly world
I don't even drink for real, but I damn near fucked a bottle girl
I just bought a bitch two pair of Chanel's, I told her, "Model for it"
When I'm in the club with niggas I don't like, we havin' bottle wars
Said to my man like, we on that nigga ass, ain't no talking to us
Gimme compliments, my bitch for real but ain't no talking to her
Champagne back to back in the Gucci store when I walk through it
I sit back and ask myself "Why?" so many times
They treatin' sports just like the streets they tryna give 'em fines
He in the trenches without a gun, I called and gave him mine
Bump heads with my day one, yesterday I say I'ma give him time
Hope BA get right back off that time, they gave him 55
I hate Tayski gone forever, we locked in on 59th
He was my dog, he was my round, he was like 50 twice
I made it out, I beat the odds, you gotta be precise
Me and my auntie had some words, that shit ate me alive
See my lil' daughter, bad as hell and she ain't even five
He got the same time as a shooter and he ain't even drive
A O-P-P got hit in his T-O-P and he ain't even die
I seen so many young niggas lose they lives
That's why when I go to a funeral today, I don't even cry
And that real shit run in my veins
Some niggas I don't fuck with for real, they just one of my stains
I put 90 on your head, that's one of my chains
And I can't cap, that nigga Von made me go to Johnny Dang
I popped a pill and had my head down, I was feeling strange
I'm swinging first whenever a nigga ask me what I bang
When you lose five niggas in one summer, that's when you will feel me pain
You ain't gotta snatch it, they'll kill you, you can't feel my chain
I'm the highest in the room, I feel just like La Flame
They'll give you life but change to a dub if you give them names
Yeah, my life for real for real, this not a movie
If a nigga I know support my song they call him groupies
And they ain't even meet Lil Baby but they'll go post his music
And that's my dawg fasho, yeah, that's my dawg fasho
And I be stressed out with my kids, sometimes I don't call it all
And you be acting like you off Percs, but you off Tylenol
I done popped some X and told my mom I was off Adderall
I buy that Glock, I need that switch, I need that to 'tatch me off
