Durk Devontay Banks (born October 19, 1992), known professionally as Lil Durk, is an American rapper.[6] Regarded as a preeminent artist in the Chicago-based hip hop subgenre drill music, Banks has been cited as one of its pioneers.[7][8] He initially garnered local success with the release of his Signed to the Streets mixtape series (2013–2014), which led to him to sign with Def Jam Recordings. The label released his debut studio album, Remember My Name (2015), and its follow-up, Lil Durk 2X (2016), to moderate commercial reception before parting ways with the rapper in 2018.

Following the independent release of his Just Cause Y'all Waited mixtape in March 2018, Banks signed with Alamo Records in July of that year.[9] His 2020 single, "Viral Moment", marked his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artist and foresaw his commercial breakthrough that same year with the singles "3 Headed Goat" (featuring Polo G and Lil Baby), "Backdoor," and "The Voice", as well as his guest appearances on Drake's "Laugh Now Cry Later" and Pooh Shiesty's "Back in Blood". He closed the year with his sixth album, The Voice (2020), which peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. Released the following year, his collaborative album with rapper Lil Baby, The Voice of the Heroes (2021), became his first to debut atop the chart. His seventh album, 7220 (2022) became his second to do so, while his eighth album, Almost Healed (2023), peaked at number three and was led by the single "All My Life" (featuring J. Cole), which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and won a Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards, yielding his furthest commercial success.

Banks is a four-time Grammy Award nominee. He founded the Chicago-based collective and record label Only the Family (OTF) in 2010, which included late rapper King Von.[10][11] In October 2024, Banks was arrested by federal authorities on a conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire charge.[12]

Early life

Durk Devontay Banks was born on October 19, 1992, in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. He grew up with a great deal of responsibility at home, as his father was incarcerated when he was seven months old.[13] He recalled times when there was not enough food at home when he was younger. He began to establish a presence on social media channels like Myspace and YouTube; He grew fond of the idea of being a rapper as his online fan base started to expand.[14]

Banks started taking his career more seriously after becoming a father at 17 years of age[15] and dropping out of school at Paul Robeson High School in order to join the Black Disciples, a street gang in Chicago.[14] Soon after joining, he began to get into trouble with the law and served time in October 2011 due to gun charges, including possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number.[16] He later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated unauthorized use of a weapon, according to court records, and did not serve any time at all.[16]

YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Quando Rondo

Durk has been embroiled in a feud between Only the Family protégé King Von and Baton Rouge rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again. Von and Durk began to diss YoungBoy and vice versa through social media and their music.[148] On November 6, 2020, King Von was shot and killed following an altercation with the YoungBoy Never Broke Again affiliate Quando Rondo.[149][150] In 2022, following Von's death, and YoungBoy's release from jail, YoungBoy released "Bring the Hook", where he dissed King Von and rappers from Parkway Garden Homes.[151][152] The song's release reignited issues between YoungBoy and Durk, which lead to Durk releasing the diss track of "Ahhh Ha".[153][154] On the same day, YoungBoy released "I Hate YoungBoy", where he dissed Durk and his affiliates.[155][156][157] He also dissed Apple Music for promoting Lil Durk.[158] On May 4, 2023, media personality DJ Akademiks stated that YoungBoy and Durk had reconciled,[159] but on May 8, YoungBoy dissed both Durk and Akademiks on Twitter. On the same day, he announced a new mixtape titled Richest Opp and its release date of May 12, 2023, the intended release date as Durk's album Almost Healed.[160]
