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.

We took hella losses
Sat at the round table with hella bosses
I had to leave niggas alone who double crossed me
Take care the situation if you cross me, uh
You know I just wanna spazz
You know I need money fast
Play with me then that's your ass, yeah
Bro 'nem be trippin', they smokin' on gas, yeah
Nigga be snakin', he smoke his own guys, yeah
If he do, don't be surprised, yeah

Two or three chokers, I'm chokin' myself
You want a handout, you lookin' for help
Your son be watchin' you, he tryna take your steps
He wanna be just like you, he hope you don't get killed, yeah yeah
I might finger your bitch with a three point ring
We up on the opps on a ten point lead
I'm for real about it
Niggas 'round me, I'll kill about 'em
I told Pluto I can't live without him
Now I gotta live without him
These niggas finesse, they come around, I need two, three pills out 'em
I know three niggas fucked up, locked up, they need like three bills out you
You told a bitch you gon' kill me, don't know how to feel around you
You know he told, his heart is cold, and he still around you
You would give them niggas anything and they still'll down you
I'll give my family anything to keep 'em smiling
Bitch-made, bitch-made, snitch K, snitch K
I be hopin' for them better days
Cash out, nigga fuck good grades
No mics
She say I can't get nothin' 'til I'm dead in my grave
I won't say no no more, I'ma give you anything when I bet on my wave
Every time when I see my brothers ride past, I throw up the treys
My brothers get on your ass, you grass, niggas can't be saved
We took hella losses (turn up)

I can shoot you in yo' head, step in my residence
If you don't talk to me face-to-face, you better not at me then
Just off my labels, I had two plaques, that's a million
Always in trouble, devil on me, can't prevent
They get that call, they on that corner, then they bendin'
If they don't fuck for who I am, she fuck for Remy
She suck my dick, ooh ooh, my bad, I mean my jimmy
I say my bad, can't talk like that, my kid be listenin'
I just put like fifty racks in my Amiri jeans
They had me questioned for somebody, didn't tell 'em anything
Ooh, I ain't tell 'em nothin'
If you did then your head is gushin'
My lifestyle, you can't rush it
You ain't gon' shoot, stop clutchin'
Sad to say what my niggas'll do for that money
We took hella losses
Sat at the round table with hella bosses
I had to leave niggas alone who double crossed me
Take care the situation if you cross me, uh
You know I just wanna spazz
