Background Information

Originally named Durk D. Banks, Lil Durk was born on October 19, 1992, in Chicago, Illinois. His upbringing in the challenging neighborhood of Englewood on Chicago’s South Side was marked by adversity, with his father’s incarceration occurring when Durk was just seven months old. The artist has shared memories of facing food scarcity during his childhood.

His journey into the limelight began early through social media platforms such as MySpace and YouTube. Becoming a father at only 17, Durk made the decision to drop out of Paul Robeson High School to become involved with the Chicago street gang, the Black Disciples. This association led to legal troubles, including multiple gun charges and a guilty plea for aggravated unauthorized weapon use.

Professional Journey

Debuting his first mixtape in 2011, Lil Durk faced legal issues related to weapons charges around the same time. Despite a brief jail term, he refocused on his music career, releasing the mixtape “I’m Still a Hitta” in 2012. The track “Sneak Dissin'” gained traction, propelling Durk to guest-perform on collaborations with artists like Lil Reese, Fredo Santana, King Louie, and Chief Keef. More mixtapes followed in 2012.

The year 2013 marked a turning point with the release of “Signed to the Streets” mixtape and collaborations on tracks with Jim Jonez, Trae da Truth, and Chinx Drugz. “Rolling Stone” recognized “Signed to the Streets” as the 8th Best Mixtape of the Year in 2013. Despite another stint in jail that year, Durk signed with Def Jam Records and unveiled his debut studio album, “Remember My Name,” in 2015. The album achieved chart success, reaching high ranks in US Rap, US R&B/Hip-Hop, and the “Billboard” 200 chart.

Subsequent releases like the 2016 album “Lil Durk 2x” further showcased his musical talents, with singles like “My Beyonce” (featuring Dej Loaf) leaving an impression on the charts. Over the years, Lil Durk has collaborated with a diverse range of artists including Meek Mill, French Montana, Travi$ Scott, will.i.am, Young Thug, Boosie Badazz, and RiFF RaFF.

In April 2020, Durk scored his first “Billboard” Hot 100 entry with the release of the single “Viral Moment” from his fifth studio album, “Just Cause Ya’ll Waited 2.” Notable hits like “3 Headed Goat” featuring Polo G and Lil Baby, alongside “Backdoor” and “The Voice,” further added to his commercial prowess. The joint project he did with Lil Baby, titled “The Voice of the Heroes,” became his first to debut at the top of the “Billboard” 200 charts in 2021. Additionally, his collaboration on Kanye West’s album “Donda” in August 2021 and his 2022 release “7220” both received acclaim, with the latter securing the artist his second consecutive #1 album. In recognition of his talent, Lil Durk has garnered four Grammy nominations, with a win for Best Melodic Rap Performance for “All My Life” featuring J. Cole from his 2023 album “Almost Healed.”

In July 2021, the artist was involved in a home invasion where he and his fiancé managed to fend off the intruders, preventing any harm.

Legal Issues

Despite his rising success, Lil Durk faced legal troubles following his weapon charge in 2011. Subsequent encounters with the law led to brief jail terms, including a 2013 arrest for allegedly throwing a loaded gun into his car when approached by police. Released on bond, Durk continued to navigate legal complexities, facing incidents like a shootout outside a concert venue in 2015 and felony gun charges in 2016. However, he was eventually cleared of these charges. In mid-2019, he and King Von were arrested on attempted murder charges, an ordeal that concluded with the dismissal of charges in October 2022.
