Lil Durk là một rapper người Mỹ đến từ vùng đất Chicago. Anh lấy nghệ danh là Lil Durk và bắt đầu hoạt động tỏng lĩnh vực âm nhạc từ rất sớm. Tỏ ra quan tâm đến âm nhạc từ khi còn trẻ và tự phát hành các bản phối âm đầu tiên thông qua OTF riêng mình. Khu phố nơi anh sinh ra và lớn lên là một trong những điểm đen của thành phố Chicago, cha anh bị cầm tù suốt đời vào năm 1994 vì dính đến các chất cấm khiến cho gia đình anh gặp phải vấn đề lớn về tài chính trong những năm tháng thời thơ ấu. Chính những quá khứ ấy đã phần nào ảnh hưởng đến xu hướng âm nhạc và cách thể hiện của Lil Durk trong từng tác phẩm. Bài hát: All My Life Thể hiện: Lil Durk ft J.
