Only The Family

Spearheaded by rapper Lil Durk, Only the Family is a Chicago-based drill collective formed in 2010. Throughout the years, its lineup has shifted considerably and included the deceased King Von, Memo600, Doodie Lo, JusBlow600, Slimelife Shawty, Lil Mexico, Mo Boona, Chief Wuk, MJ0.6, THF Zoo, and Booka600. A large part of its members are associated with the Black Disciples street gang. Conceived as a starting ground for up-and-coming rappers and singers from the Windy City’s booming drill scene, the group was named after Lil Durk’s Only the Family label. The first official release under the OTF moniker came out in July 2018 in the form of the compilation Only the Family Involved, Vol.1 and was followed by a second volume in December of that year. Another compilation titled Family Over Everything saw the light in 2019 and reached Number 93 on the Billboard 200. The OTF crew returned in 2021 with Loyal Bros, a star-studded release that peaked at Number 12 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the fan favorites “Me and Doodie Lo,” “Streets Raised Me,” and “Hellcats & Trackhawks.” It also featured guest spots by OTF-adjacent rappers such as Lil Uzi Vert, Tee Grizzley, and Foogiano.
