Lil Durk, born Durk Devontay Banks, is an American rapper associated with the rise of Chicago drill music. He was born in 1992 and is known for helping bring the sound from local prominence to a wider audience. He first drew notice with his Signed to the Streets mixtape series in 2013 and 2014, which helped lead to a deal with Def Jam Recordings.
