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.

Even though my situation you lose
Fuckin' with your friend ex? Nigga you stupid
I know you tryna figure out who I'm talkin about
I told u imma spazz told me put the guns down
You got em around your kids when they ain't around
I can fuck on who I want I'm famous now
Got yo friends all in yo ear sayin' that I'mm bad
And you keep on listenin' it make me mad
Keep on reminiscing make me want to slide

You barely kinky but you a slut for him
You ain't even that mean, but you tough for him
You had me soft I couldn't function it
Only gave me pussy, wasn't suckin' it
I heard the rumors who you fuckin' with
I wish I found out sooner that you a dirty bitch
Back to the basics lets speak facts
I was with you when I was sippin' on act
I doped you up you has menthol swag
Square I don't ever wanna see yo ass
Yea, I know I'ma dog that shit ain't fair
Thought I'll be mad I don't even care
Now I put my new bitch on the lier
Diamonds in the air like chandeliers
If she around then I'm aware
You say 'only him' you lyin' again
Bluetooth in the coupe you need to pair
That hoe shit was in the air
If yo friends a hoe then you's a hoe
Wherever you go I know they go
Don't follow your dream you follow bankrolls
Yo ass so fake thought you was ten toes
I can't get over my pain
Make you feel better
Fuck with niggas I know
Won't make you feel better
This is a lifestyle that I live
Fuckin' with these different bitches
And you tryna break my heart
Fuckin' with these different niggas
You know you can't get over me
You know you can't get away from me
You know bitches dont play with me
You know you know

You ain't even that mean, but you tough for him
You're not a mean person, but you act tough for him
You had me soft I couldn't function it
You made me emotional and I couldn't handle it
Only gave me pussy, wasn't suckin' it
You only wanted sex, you didn't give me oral
I heard the rumors who you fuckin' with
I heard the rumors about who you're sleeping with
I wish I found out sooner that you a dirty bitch
I should have found out earlier that you're unfaithful
Back to the basics lets speak facts
Let's focus on reality
I was with you when I was sippin' on act
I was with you when I was drinking codeine
I doped you up you has menthol swag
I gave you codeine and you acted cool
Square I don't ever wanna see yo ass
I don't want to see you anymore
Yea, I know I'ma dog that shit ain't fair
Yes, I know I'm not always faithful - but that's just how it is
Thought I'll be mad I don't even care
I thought I would be upset, but I'm not
Now I put my new bitch on the liar
Now I'm cheating on you with my new girlfriend
Diamonds in the air like chandeliers
I'm successful and living luxuriously
If she around then I'm aware
If my girlfriend is around, I'm mindful of my actions
You say 'only him' you lyin' again
You say you're only sleeping with one guy, but I don't believe you
Bluetooth in the coupe you need to pair
I'm using Bluetooth in my car - you need to connect with it
That hoe shit was in the air
All that promiscuity was obvious to everyone
If yo friends a hoe then you's a hoe
If your friends are promiscuous, then you probably are too
Wherever you go I know they go
Your friends follow you wherever you go
Don't follow your dream you follow bankrolls
You're only interested in making money - not following your true passion
Yo ass so fake thought you was ten toes
You're not true to yourself - I thought you were better than that
