Beginning his career, from 2011 to 2012, Durk released his debut, un-official mixtape, Iβm a Hitta which was released on August 26, 2011. On April 3, 2012, Durk released his sophomore mixtape, a sequel to his previous tape, Iβm Still a Hitta. Durka later released his third mixtape on November 5, 2012, titled Life Ainβt No Joke
Like many drill artists, Durkβs 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 Durkβs 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 βWhat You Do to Meβ.
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 βLike Me.β Later that year, Durk released his sixth mixtape 300 Days 300 Nights which included his then-girlfriend, Dej Loaf-assisted, βMy BeyoncΓ©.β
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 βNobody Knowsβ. 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 βIndiaβ dedicated to his fiancΓ© India Cox otherwise known as India Royale.
In 2018, Durk released two projects, he began with Just Cause Y'all Waited, Durkβs 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 Yβall 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 Durkβs 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 Durkβs first solo project to top the charts.

Lil Durk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I made it rich, I went and bought a Bentley, bitch (bitch)
Walk into Saks Fifth like, "Give me that and give me this" (gimme that)
That's your Wednesday crush, you know Lil' Fish done hit that shit, uh (shit)
You ain't gotta tell me, I know niggas envious, uh (hey)
Count the cash while my lil' bitch bounce her ass (bounce that ass)
Richard Mille cost one-fifty, that's your stash (that's your stash)
When we catch you out in traffic, just don't crash (brr, brr, brr)
I got a bag, I'm doin' the most, you niggas is lame, I am the GOAT
They want the gas, I'm givin' 'em smoke, jump off the jet, get on the boat
I'm in a yacht, I'm with a thot, she givin' me throat, aw, shit
Cut off the top, Rolls Royce drop, I get Ghost, skrt
Pull up in a, "What the fuck was that?", Ho (that, ho)
We still throwin' supermodels off the back, bro (back, bro)
Alley-oop my bitch to Harden, I give her back, bro (back, bro)
And you better not send my bitch back with her back broke, gang (back broke)
First thing on my mind when I wake up is a check
In the trenches with my slimes, they be trippin' off the X
When I'm gone off these drugs, I don't think about my ex
And I ain't know that ho for long, she asked for Audemar Piguet
(Oh) you want some diamonds, you don't want no bag, you think you're bougie, huh?
And you don't want no Fashion Nova, you want some Gucci, huh?
And when we out, I can't be seen 'cause I don't know who you fucked
And why she think she playin' me? This shit be groupie love
(Oh) I think I'm bougie
Mike Amiri jeans cost me two Gs
I can't take her to the crib, go get some room keys
(Oh) I think I'm bougie
Came a long way from the trenches, ridin' CTA
From the chopper to the jet, it look like GTA
And they say I won't be shit, ain't make my GPA
And I heard his ass a rat, I'm sippin' T-E-A (oh)
I thought you was my B-O-Y, but your ass D-E-A
I used to walk with a .22 inside my Kenzo
Paperwork came back too dirty, gotta keep your head low
If he too loud and he too wild, then he get paid for (oh)
I know some niggas that take your head off for that bankroll
Lawyer money up to my dogs, then this case closed
Boy, you just start sippin', we sold him Karo
I popped some X, I was geekin', I DM'd J. Lo (oh)
Jimmy Kimmel in Chicago, pull up, late shows
They put Lil' Vernie in that chair, you know he ate those
Niggas jumpin' dick to dick, man, I hate those
I remember I put a dime inside a Faygo
First thing on my mind when I wake up is a check
In the trenches with my slimes, they be trippin' off the X
When I'm gone off these drugs, I don't think about my ex
And I ain't know that ho for long, she asked for Audemar Piguet
(Oh) you want some diamonds, you don't want no bag, you think you're bougie, huh?
And you don't want no Fashion Nova, you want some Gucci, huh?

In Lil Durk's song Bougie, the rapper talks about his luxurious lifestyle after becoming rich. In the first verse, he boasts of his wealth, specifically mentioning his purchase of a Bentley and expensive clothing items. He further highlights his extravagant spending by stating his Richard Mille watch costs as much as some people's savings. Lil Durk also references his ability to attract women, claiming to have had relations with a girl someone else had a crush on. However, he acknowledges the envy of others and the possibility of danger when displaying his wealth publicly.
In the second verse, Lil Durk delves into his personal life. He describes his mindset upon waking up, which revolves around making money. He also mentions his drug use and how it helps him forget about his ex-girlfriend. He then shifts his focus to a woman he is seeing who desires luxury brands over affordable options. He questions her loyalty and suggests that she may be seeking fame and fortune by being with him. Lil Durk ends the verse with references to his reputation in the streets and how he deals with betrayal.
The overarching theme of the song is the disparity between Lil Durk's current status and his upbringing in Chicago's poor neighborhoods. He takes pride in how far he has come, but also acknowledges the dangers and challenges that come with his newfound success.

I believed you were my close friend, but it turns out you were actually a part of law enforcement. I used to carry a small gun with me for protection. However, some legal issues have arisen, so I must stay quiet to avoid further trouble. I reward people who are loud and problematic because they attract attention and can make me money. I know some people who are violent and willing to hurt others for money. I have hired lawyers to help my friends with some legal problems. We have the dangerous drug drink 'Karo' in our possession. I used drugs and made a foolish decision to message famous singer Jennifer Lopez on social media. I have appeared on the Late Show with Jimmy Kimmel in Chicago. Someone I know had to eat food while sitting in a specific type of chair. I dislike it when men engage in homosexual activity. I recall putting a small amount of change into a brand of soda called Faygo.
