Platinum-selling Chicago hip-hop luminary G Herbo re-ups, recharges, and re-energizes his acclaimed new project, Big Swerv, with the brand new Big Swerv 2.0 out now. Upholding a scorching hot streak this fall, he presents the definitive version of this body of work by adding seven previously unreleased tracks today.
Among the new material, he also joins forces with Chris Brown on the latest single, “Play Your Part.” Breezy blesses this banger with a slick and smooth signature vocal as he urges, “Baby, just play your part.” Plus, “Ball” [feat. Meek Mill] showcases his versatility. Soulful guitar wails, and a thick beat bumps through twinkling keys. Once again, G Herbo’s bars cut deep as he reaches up for the light at the end of the tunnel, “And I never needed help, sometimes I stay alone, but I’m’a make it home.” Meek Mill counters with his instantly recognizable cadence punctuated by hunger and heart. They lock into a hard-hitting back-and-forth for the duration of the track, showcasing elite wordplay and undeniable emotion in equal measure.
Keeping it Chicago, G Herbo and Lil Durk ignite a volley of melodic rhymes on “In The Air.” Then, there’s the fiery finale “Nothin.” From the jump, he reminds, “Everything I’ve been through, I survived.” A choir rings out in the background, and he launches into a frenetic flow. It culminates with a bold affirmation, “I got too many people I love so I can’t care about nothing.”
