Genre
Hip-Hop/Rap
“I try to learn new words all the time, different kinds of flows. I love rapping, so I don’t ever want to get boxed in,” G Herbo told Apple Music of his love of his craft.
The rapper, born Herbert Randall Wright III in 1995, spits dense rhymes packed with gritty observations about the violence of his native Chicago. His vivid, gruff-voiced rhyming is unusually empathetic—simultaneously angry, dexterous, and conversational, as heard on the blistering “Bi Polar” from 2017’s Humble Beast—and sets him apart from the dead-eyed, nihilistic tone common among the rappers from the city’s early-2010s drill scene.
While his songs drop the listener into tensely cinematic scenes where guns and drugs are a constant, tracks like “Fight or Flight” (from his first mixtape, 2014’s Welcome to Fazoland), recorded when he was still known as Lil Herb, show him digging into the motivations of those around him and always searching for answers.
2020’s “PTSD”—the title track from his album that same year—describes the effects of this childhood trauma, while the haunting “Glass in the Face” and soul-inflected, BJ the Chicago Kid-assisted “Gangstas Cry” speak directly to those with similar experiences.
The Chicago MC followed with several more albums, including 2025s Lil Herb—named after his first rap moniker—where he felt compelled to look to his past. “I never do that. Once the music come out, I’ve always been on to the next. But listening to my old projects, watching old videos, it just got me in that mode.”
