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
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like mufucka ain't in these streets
On Lil Moe grave these niggas is straight hoes (on God)
Niggas know what's up with us man
Talking 'bout we don't be out here
Nigga you got us fucked up boy
Man I get shit done boy
You tweakin', yo ass trippin'
Niggas call me Bloodas just like Tee out here (let's get it)
Opps be calling foenem phone, say I don't be out here (L's)
Catch him, knock his noodles back, just don't tweak out here
Foenem slidin', late night huntin', ain't no sleep out here
2 days back to back, that's 50 racks to be out here (on God)
Can't have no fefe on yo block as long as Steve out here
Can't try to slide inside a fish bowl, you got beef out here
Law keep wantin' to get Zoo out the way, they say he a Chief out here (say he a chief out here)
Niggas hoes, they tuck they tails 'cause they be scared
In that Hellcat, on the e-way, off them med's
Say his name inside this song, my bro said I better not say it
Niggas lowkey want that smoke, you do, you better not say it
Get yo ass back in that house, we got FN not 9's (not 9's)
My credit so A1 with killas, I be paying my fines (my fines)
Opps be on my dick in song but I don't pay 'em no mind (pussy)
All them hoes that be with the opps, gang nem broke they spine
All the crackers get robbed for they shit, they buy it back
I keep my Glock in her Chanel, that shit cost 5 racks
All these hoes be goin' for real lowkey, just buy 'em X
He got shot up in his shit, I hear he tryna flex
Never care so much, ran out of Woods, just pass the Dutch
Your homies died, you don't never slide, it ain't adding up
Get caught with a pipe, you out same night, you fed or what?
New opp pack in the air, this gas or what?
He'd still be alive right now, if you niggas ain't gas him up
Give my shortys steamers and guns, I tell them slide for none
Everybody with this gang-gang shit so they ain't dying for none
If she ain't fuckin' the first night, off the rip, I ain't buying her none
If I ain't got time for loving my kids, then I ain't got time for none
Then I slide home to my bitch, that means no time for cuddle
Why these niggas think they safe 'cause they locked in?
Man we thought this shit was over, send some shots then
You think you safe where you at out West? Lil nigga just bopped in
I know some killas from out West, they keep them Glock 10s
Knowing they killa on the loose, it throw my vibe off
You lighting candles on that main street, watch that sad block
You ever stood up over a opp and knocked his dreads off? (I did)
You know a nigga claim he a hate us but he fanned out (let's get it)
Back then I pull up to them clubs, them killas was sitting in the steamers
How the fuck he say he ain't tell, but the court steady throwing that nigga subpoenas
Fuck Lil Durk, he ain't on shit, his ass a singer (what else?)
Fuck Lil Durk, his ass a goofy, he not Lamron either (what else?)
Fuck Lil Durk, he talked to 6ix9ine live about his people (what else?)
Niggas always say they out here, we don't never see them (they lie)
But if we do, we pop out cars, and we gone no I.D them
Lowkey I know they hurt, they hurt so bad, they don't IG it
Jumped off the porch back then, when X was stacks, and smoking mid
69th and Ashland, used to stay right there right by the field
Loco he stayed next door on Bishop, he was selling mid
18 for exotic, in Chiraq sell it 36
I'm not tryna die young out here like I'm Roddy Ricch
We get that low-low, then foenem go sit outside yo crib
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Signed to the Streets 3 on the way
