Real Rap – The Pen Hustle With Brandy Cavalli

Rapper Lil Durk Has Deep Gang Ties; Dad Big Durk Connected to Larry Hoover

Rapper Lil Durk is the stage name of Derrick ‘Durk’ Banks, a Chicago native from the Englewood area.

His melodic rap style and songs about his life, relationships, street experiences, and losses is how he became prominent through Chicago’s drill scene before developing into a major mainstream hip-hop artist.

Although Lil Durk has also had major legal issues, including a current federal case, his legal situation is separate from his father’s history.

His father, Devontay ‘Big Durk’ Banks, was involved in Chicago’s drug trade in the early 1990s and was eventually sentenced to life in federal prison. He knew and was mentored by Larry Hoover.

Former Kingpin Girlfriend Tracy Cowan Now Pushing Justice Reform After Commuted Prison Sentence

Maserati Rick with girlfriend Tracy Cowan enjoying a night out — Detroit

Richard “Maserati Rick” Carter was a flamboyant and high-profile Detroit kingpin from the city’s East Side. He was famously murdered in 1988 while recovering in a hospital bed.

Tracy Cowan was deeply connected to the Detroit street scene of that era and was the beautiful long-time girlfriend and mother of two children with the notorious drug lord.

In 2003, years after Maserati Rick’s death, Cowan was arrested and convicted on non-violent federal/state drug and weapon charges involving cocaine, marijuana, and guns linked to a later relationship.

She received a harsh sentence of 20 to 40 years in prison, which criminal justice reform advocates often cited as an example of women associated with street figures receiving disproportionately heavy sentences.

In June 1967, a car carrying Mansfield crashed into the back of a semi-truck trailer. Rumors swirled afterward that she had been decapitated when press photos revealed her blonde wig flung beside the car, but the truth was far worse. The collision had been so severe that the semi-truck sliced off the top of the car — and the top of Mansfield’s head, killing her instantly.
