The Voice is Chicago rappers Lil Durk’ sixth studio album, set to be released on September 4, 2020. It follows his May 2020 album, Just Cause Y'all Waited 2, which also received a deluxe version the following month, in June 2020.
Durk announced the album on Instagram on August 28, 2020.
Lil Durk was born on October 19, 1992. Lil Durk had to shoulder much responsibility at a very young age because his father was incarcerated when he was 7 months old.[7] Lil Durk recalled that there were times when he did not have enough food in his home when he was younger. He started his first break through social media channels like Myspace and YouTube.[8]
He became more fond of the idea of being a rapper once his online fan base started to grow more rapidly than expected. Lil Durk took his career more seriously after becoming a father at 17 and dropping out from high school.[9][9] Lil Durk attended a Southside high-school by the name of Paul Robeson High School, ultimately dropping out his senior year to be a part of the gang war in Chicago. Lil Durk joined the Black Disciples after dropping out of high school.[8] Soon after joining he began to get into trouble with the law as well as served a bit of time.
In October 2011, he was hit with gun charges, including possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number.[10] He later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated unauthorized use of a weapon, according to court records.[10] In 2013, Lil Durk was arrested again with a loaded .50 caliber handgun in Englewood on an early Wednesday morning after he threw the gun into his vehicle and locking it afterwards.[11] Chicago Police gained a warrant to search the vehicle, found the loaded handgun, and arrested the rapper without incident.
Career and rise to popularity
In 2011, Banks would start taking music seriously. After plans to sign with Chief Keef and French Montana's labels fell through,[12] he considered rapping as "a full-time career" after the releases of his two singles, "Sneak Dissin'" and "I'ma Hitta", each of which received generally positive feedback.[13] On October 19, 2012, Durk released his third mixtape, Life Ain't No Joke. As of September 22, 2015, the mixtape has been downloaded over 216,000 times on DatPiff.[14] In December 2012, Durk released the track, called "L's Anthem", which was remixed, featuring French Montana, as a re-release.[15]

Due to the popularity of "L's Anthem" and its follow-up single, "Dis Ain't What U Want" in 2013, Durk accepted a joint venture deal with his collective Only the Family and Def Jam Recordings.[16]
After a small number of delays, Durk's fourth mixtape Signed to the Streets was released on October 14, 2013, exclusively on DatPiff. It features two guest appearances from former Glo Gang affiliate Lil Reese, along with production credits from Paris Bueller and Young Chop, among others.[17]
Eight music videos were released to promote the mixtape: "Bars Pt. 2", "Oh My God", "100 Rounds", "Dis Ain't What U Want", "Bang Bros", "Traumatized", "Hittaz" and "Times". Signed to the Streets would later be named the eighth best mixtape of 2013 by Rolling Stone.[18] On October 22, 2013, in an interview with XXL, Lil Durk said he was working on his debut album under Def Jam.[19][20] Also, Durk was named part of the 2014 XXL Freshmen Class.[21]
