The Rundown: Lil Durk, Remember My Name

A play-by-play look at the Chi-Town hitta's debut.

'Resume' - The streets aren't for everybody and if you're claiming that life, you'd better have that paperwork to back up those credentials. New rules here, because bad boys don't move in silence anymore and your name better ring like an alarm. At least that's what Durk's mantra is, right?(Photo: Monica Schipper/Getty Images)
'What Your Life Like' - Young Chop lays down his Auto-Tuned vibes and has Durk running down the drama that plagues his Chicago streets. Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough, but it is and the "L's Anthem" creator paints the picture with, "You can't turn up on them social sites, thinking it's gone be alright / Beef at 6, he dead by 6 o'clock, on the dot that night / Ain't easy where I'm at, why?" (Photo: Ilya S.

'Why Me' - Durk sends this out to the haters who can't figure out why he's winning and lets them know that jealousy is a wasted emotion because he's getting chosen regardless. (Photo: Kevin Mazur/BET/Getty Images for BET)
'Ghetto (Grew Up),' Featuring Hypno Carlito - Funerals and drugs were a part of the Chicago MC's reality growing up in the ghetto, so you have to salute him for making it out of there. No smiles here as he pays homage to the shorties who go to school just so they can eat lunch. Real talk on this one.(Photo: Fresh Flickz / Splash News)'Remember My Name,' Featuring King Popo - Durk closes out his debut with the title track, letting you know you can hate him or love him, but he does what he does for his homies he lost in the streets that we'll never know. Dedicated to all the fallen soldiers from the Southside of Chicago and the hoods across America, Durk declares, "Don't forget about me / It's bigger than money, it's bigger than fame / Remember everything I did to get where I'm at / Please don't take it from me."(Photo: Ilya S.
