Durk is best known for his involvement in the drill wave that took the music world by storm in the 2010s. He is the founder of his own record label and rap collective, Only the Family (OTF).
Beginning his career, from 2011 to 2012, Durk released his debut, un-official mixtape, I’m a Hitta which was released on August 26, 2011. On April 3, 2012, Durk released his sophomore mixtape, a sequel to his previous tape, I’m Still a Hitta. Durka later released his third mixtape on November 5, 2012, titled Life Ain’t No Joke
Like many drill artists, Durk’s 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 Durk’s 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 “What You Do to Me”.
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 “Like Me.” Later that year, Durk released his sixth mixtape 300 Days 300 Nights which included his then-girlfriend, Dej Loaf-assisted, “My Beyoncé.”
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 “Nobody Knows”. 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 “India” dedicated to his fiancé India Cox otherwise known as India Royale.
In 2018, Durk released two projects, he began with Just Cause Y'all Waited, Durk’s 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 Y’all 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 Durk’s 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 Durk’s first solo project to top the charts.

Lil Durk Lyrics
(ATL Jacob)
I barely go on dates, so I hold yo' hand
Even if I grew up with him, I don't know yo' man
'Cause if I say I know him, I might blow my chance
Take you to the heart of the trenches, ain't no romance
We not together, but we make it official
This lifestyle forever, just make sure it fit you
Talk to me, walk with me
Caress on me, feel on me
Sex got a melody
Grip on it, spit on it
I don't throw hoes on my page, they don't make my 'gram
'Cause my other bitch might get mad, but I'ma take my chance
Bad bitch wanna see my show, wanna bring her friends
Put they name on the list, gotta get them in
Keepin' it lowkey, come to my meet and greet
I'ma give you a room key, girl, go wait for me
Said, "Fuck that nosebleed," she want a floor seat
Wanna get close to me, what you gon' do wit' me
Know I'm move deep, bitch, I'm too street
We not together, my baby, you just cool peeps
What yo' friend on, you know I had her before
You used to fuck with me, I never met him before
I barely go on dates, so I hold yo' hand
Even if I grew up with him, I don't know yo' man
'Cause if I say I know him, I might blow my chance
Take you to the heart of the trenches, ain't no romance
We not together, but we make it official
This lifestyle forever, just make sure it fit you
Talk to me, walk with me
Caress on me, feel on me
Sex got a melody
Grip on it, spit on it
I bought her ass them booty shorts she want
(?) married, I do
You can blow a bag with me
I know rappers backstage
Ooh, that new Hellcat, that Fast & Furious (skrrt)
I met her today (I swerve)
Just give me loctation (ASAP)
Why these bitches hatin'?
But these bitches basic (facts)
I merched on J Money, I won't tell who I fucked last night (shh)
Gotta watch out what you say to me, I smash on sight (come here)
In the studio, got her name on my wrist right now (I know)
Forgive me what I did, I know you pissed right now (I know)
You the shit right now (right now)
Get dick right down (dick right down)
Put them drugs on my tongue, bite right down
I barely go on dates, so I hold yo' hand
Even if I grew up with him, I don't know yo' man
'Cause if I say I know him, I might blow my chance
Take you to the heart of the trenches, ain't no romance
We not together, but we make it official
This lifestyle, forever just make sure it fit you
Talk to me, walk with me
Caress on me, feel on me
Sex got a melody
Grip on it, spit on it
Rest in peace Pimp C but let's get more hoes
She don't wanna share her secrets with me
But I know 'em already
Fuck your ex
I'ma show her I'm ready
I barely go on dates, so I hold yo' hand
Even if I grew up with him, I don't know yo' man
'Cause if I say I know him, I might blow my chance
Take you to the heart of the trenches, ain't no romance
We not together, but we make it official
This lifestyle forever, just make sure it fit you
Talk to me, walk with me
