Lil Durk

Durk Devontay Banks, known professionally as Lil Durk, is an American rapper. Regarded as a pioneer of the Chicago-based hip-hop subgenre drill music, he is often considered the subgenre's most commercially successful artist. He initially garnered local success with the release of his Signed to the Streets mixtape series, which led to him to sign with Def Jam Recordings. The label released his debut studio album, Remember My Name, and its follow-up, Lil Durk 2X, to moderate commercial reception before parting ways with the rapper in 2018. After self-releasing his Just Cause Y'all Waited mixtape in March 2018, Banks signed with Alamo Records later that July. His 2020 single "Viral Moment" became his first song as a lead artist to enter the Billboard Hot 100, signaling a major breakthrough that year. Along with three further entries on the chart as a lead artist—"3 Headed Goat”, "Backdoor," and "The Voice"—Banks also gained attention with his guest appearances on Drake's "Laugh Now Cry Later" and Pooh Shiesty's "Back in Blood," with the former peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
