G Herbo is one of Chicago’s most influential voices in modern hip-hop. Emerging from the city’s East Side, he first gained national attention in 2012 with the breakout single “Kill Shit” alongside fellow Chicago rapper Lil Bibby.
Following his acclaimed mixtapes Welcome to Fazoland, Pistol P Project, Ballin Like I’m Kobe, and Strictly 4 My Fans, G Herbo established himself as a major force in hip-hop with a string of successful studio albums. His 2018 debut album Humble Beast showcased his evolution as both an artist and storyteller, while 2020’s PTSD became his first Top 10 album on the Billboard 200. Featuring collaborations with artists including Juice WRLD, Chance the Rapper, Lil Uzi Vert, A Boogie Wit da Hoodie, and the late Lil Durk, the album was praised for its honest discussion of trauma, mental health, and the lasting effects of growing up surrounded by violence.
Herbo continued his momentum with 25 in 2021, which debuted in the Billboard 200 Top 5 and became his highest-charting album at the time. He followed with Survivor’s Remorse in 2022, a deeply personal project exploring grief, growth, and perseverance, solidifying his reputation as one of hip-hop’s most authentic lyricists. Throughout his career, G Herbo has earned multiple RIAA Gold and Platinum certifications, while amassing billions of streams across platforms with standout records including “PTSD,” “Who Want Smoke?? (Remix),” “Statement,” “Swervo,” and “Write Your Name.”
Beyond music, G Herbo has become an advocate for mental health awareness and youth empowerment, using his platform to encourage conversations about trauma, therapy, and personal growth. His honesty and commitment to giving back to his community have made him an influential figure both on and off the stage.
