BIO

Emerging from the tough streets of Chicago, Lil Durk helped birth one of the most important Hip Hop movements of the last 10 years: drill music. After building a buzz through independent mixtapes and street anthems like “L’s Anthem,” Durk signed with Def Jam in 2012. Despite label woes, he maintained a steady stream of mixtapes and in 2019 the OTF frontman found a new level of success as his ‘Love Songs 4 the Streets 2’ album soared to No. 4. Since then, Lil Durk has gone from strength to strength with an appearance on Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later,” the gold-certified ‘The Voice’ LP and his first No. 1 album with the Lil Baby collabo ‘The Voice of the Heroes.’
