Durk Devontay Banks, known professionally as Lil Durk, is an American rapper. Regarded as a preeminent artist in the drill music genre, Durk has been cited as one of its pioneers. He initially garnered a local following with the release of his Signed to the Streets mixtape series, whose success 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 artist in 2018.
Following the independent release of his Just Cause Y'all Waited mixtape in March 2018, Durk signed with Alamo Records in July of that year. In April 2020, Durk made his first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artist with his single "Viral Moment". He gained further chart success throughout that year with his singles "3 Headed Goat", "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, which peaked at number two on the Billboard 200.
