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 ↴
You make me feel some type of way, I'm on this song with you
You say you gon' do this and that when I'm alone with you
But when we link up we get nervous, boy what's wrong with us?
You get this shit together, get it rollin'
These bitches be all in my face but I ain't goin'
These niggas be all in my face but I ain't goin'
She want love and affection, I'ma show it
And I will do it
If she let me touch it, shit I prolly will lose it
Man this nigga crazy, got a few screws loose
He must be off all that lean, what that moom is
Your favorite color yellow, I just sent you flowers
When I'm not around you don't text me back for hours
You fuckin' with a real nigga, heard you used to cowards
Yo, hold on
Hold up, wait a minute, though
All them bitches been a joke
I'mma put some real shit off in your life, I'm tellin' you
DeJ we'll do that dance, forreal, you've been my boo back then
Thought you had a nigga and you really was a fool for him
I'm gon' have you where you need to be
Don't flash your wrist at me
'Cause you know that it's more than that
This really where I need to be
The fans made memes of us
BeyoncΓ© was a thing for us
And you know my genes are strong
We can make a team of us
Durk and DeJ
Yeah, Durk and DeJ
It sound good, don't it?
You want a good woman
If you want it like you say it, put your hood on it
Only a family in my eyes, I'mma say it first
Durk and DeJ, DeJ and Durk, whatever way it works
It sound good, don't it?
It sound good, don't it?
Durk and DeJ
Yeah, Durk and DeJ
Yo, it sound good, don't it?

The lyrics of True or False by Lil Durk ft. DeJ Loaf tells a story of a couple who face challenges when they're together. The beginning of the song shows DeJ Loaf questioning Lil Durk on why he acts differently when they're alone than when they're in public. He promises her some things when they're alone, but it never materializes. DeJ Loaf sees Lil Durk as lacking confidence and needing to put his act together. She goes on to say that other people try to get her attention, but she isn't interested in them. The bridge before the chorus shows Lil Durk professing his love for DeJ Loaf, telling her he will be there for her, and that they make a good couple. Towards the end, DeJ says the fans made memes of them, and Beyonce was a thing for them. She affirms that they make a good team and asks Lil Durk to put his "hood" to it.
Overall, True or False speaks about a relationship that faces challenges when they are together. It shows Lil Durk and DeJ Loaf's love for each other but also their struggles. It is a relatable song that acknowledges the fact that relationships can be difficult to manage.

DeJ we'll do that dance, forreal, you've been my boo back then
DeJ, we will execute that plan - you have been my significant other in the past

I will lead you to where you belong
Don't flash your wrist at me
Do not show off your watch to me
