Lil Durk is one of the most popular rappers in the game today. His stock is going even higher after the release of his seventh studio album 7220, and with that comes conversations about him being one of the leaders in Hip Hop now.
During his interview with the Full Send Podcast on Wednesday (March 23), Smurk spoke about the four current leaders in Hip Hop in his mind. Durkio threw himself in the mix along with a group of equally popular rappers.
“You got [Lil] Baby,” Durk said. “I’ma name my three, not the three who the real already know. So, [Lil] Baby, I’ma say Kodak [Black] — this not including the [Young] Thug’s and Future’s — and then I’ma say 21 Savage.”
Like Lil Durk, Kodak Black recently released his new album Back for Everything, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and boasted the platinum-certified top 5 hit “Super Gremlin.”
21 Savage opted to drop off a bevy of excellent guest features in 2021 and has teased a new album to arrive sometime this year. Meanwhile, Lil Baby is arguably the biggest star out of the group thanks to his 2020 album My Turn, which catapulted the rapper into the spotlight and started the incredible run he’s currently on.

One name fans might consider a glaring omission from Durk’s list is NBA YoungBoy. The Baton Rouge native has solidified himself as the biggest artist on YouTube with an array of platinum plaques, No. 1 albums and Billboard Hot 100 hits. Given their ongoing feud, however, his absence hardly comes as a surprise.
Elsewhere in his talk with the Full Send Podcast hosts, Lil Durk revealed how much he charges for a verse. The number was pretty high and stunned the guests, but it was warranted given how in-demand the Chicago rapper is at the moment.
“If I don’t know you, I ain’t going to lie, I gotta go $350,000,” he said. “I got receipts.”
*ruining
I can’t name a Durk track lmao besides the one for power w 50
then you are either over 45, or didnt listen for the last 10 years. he aint my favorite, but you sound stupid.
This generation of cRappers are so bad that they’ve left skidmarks on the game. They actually use their music as psychological torture for criminals overseas. It’s that bad. It’s not even an age issue, it’s about quality music and creativity and unfortunately doesn’t exist. Besides nobody wants to listen to a horrible carbon copy of a carbon copy cuz basically that’s what is happening. Nobody is original anymore. Everyone sounds the same, uses the same flow, will use the same beats, even copy each other’s ad-libs. Then act like they’ve created something mind-blowing when they’ve only bitten a raggedy lame style from someone else.
Death Ain’t Easy, Chiraq Demons and 100 Rounds: And I never seen Power nor do I plan to do so. You are just a closed minded hater and you probably work at Target part time while having your grandma support you financially.
I think he means giving Hip Hop the runs cuz y’all shitting all over the legacy of rap. All these dudes suck a metric ton load of ass. I hear no songs from any of theses clowns ever really on the airwaves yet they claim to be running the rap game. Take any of the wackest rappers from the 90s or Early 00’s and put them up against one of these guys and I’d bet they’d still get destroyed.
My wet farts sound better than their raps sadly
But Durks farts smell like purp and lean
He said not the real three but his three right now ??
I gave a few of these guys a listen and it’s not for me, but I love to see young brothers getting money.
This man has a catalog spanning from 2011 to today. I am a rock n roll/blue fanatic, yet I still know about Durk Banks: Kanye Krazy is a nice track, No Interviews was another one of my personal favorites, then you have Three Headed Goat with Polo G and Lil Baby that is older…I am a fan of Tupac and Cormega personally, however this guy is putting in a lot of work and his life story is heard in each song he delivers. He delivers his pain and inner emotions with each vocal line said: I call this era of “drill rap” the new Chicago Blues. King Von was the king of that in my opinion, he had that Chuck Berry story telling ability and yes I was a fan before his death. I heard and saw something in that man that could only be heard and seen/felt with 90s era rappers.
Go to sleep, dude.
NONE of them are Hip-Hop though
tell me ur absolutely fucking retarded without telling me ur absolutely fucking retarded
