What does gdk mean?
Gangster Disciple Killer. A declaration of beef with the GDs, shouted by BD-affiliated drill rappers on tracks, in ad-libs, and across socials. It's less a literal threat than a banner — you say GDK to mark which side of the Englewood war you're standing on.
"Whole hook is just him yelling GDK over the beat."
Origin
Chicago drill, early 2010s. Used by Black Disciple-aligned rappers (Chief Keef, Lil Reese, the GBE camp) to taunt the rival Gangster Disciples after the Englewood gang war kicked off.
