Turk (shortened from "Young Turk"), born Tab Virgil, Jr. in 1981 in New Orleans, Louisiana, is an African-American rapper.

Turk was first discovered in 1996 when the owners of Cash Money Records (brothers Ronald "Slim" Williams and Bryan "Baby" Williams) discovered him rapping and rhyming in the nearby Magnolia projects of New Orleans. Later that same year, Turk made his recording debut with a cameo on Juvenile's solo debut, "Solja Rags". Turk was billed as "Young Turk" and welcomed into the newly formed Hot Boys (who also included Juvenile, B.G., and Lil' Wayne), issuing "Get It How You Live!" in 1997 and "Guerilla Warfare" two years later.
