ABOUT G HERBO: Platinum-selling rapper Herbert “G Herbo” Wright has endured a season of close calls and losing several of his closest friends to senseless gun violence in his native Chicago. All of this was channeled into his critically acclaimed double album, Survivor’s Remorse in 2022, which Rolling Stone called, “another potent look into his rattled, conflicted psyche that also doubles as a celebration of his 10-year run as one of the most enduring young rappers to come out of Chicago’s drill scene.” Following up from his 2023 mixtape, Strictly For My Fans 2, and earning Platinum and Gold plaques for Nardo Wick’s “Who Want Smoke” and his late friend Young Dolph’s “One Scale” that same year, Herbo aims to reach his full potential as an artist with his celebratory offering for the summertime, Big Swerv. The album is executive produced by longtime collaborators Southside and Big Oz. G Herbo’s four albums, PTSD, 25, Swervo, and his debut, Humble Beast, all reached the Billboard Top 200 albums chart.

Most recently, Herbo released Greatest Rapper Alive, exclusively through his G Herbo App, and continues to cement his status as a force in hip-hop. The launch of the Greatest Rapper Alive on the app resulted in a staggering 13 million direct-to-fan streams and over 100,000 app downloads, catapulting it to #3 among all music apps, trailing only industry giants Spotify and YouTube. Now #5 and #6, respectively, on Apple Music, while “Went Legit” landed in the Top 50 on the songs chart and has since been certified Gold by RIAA in just 8 months. Stay tuned for more music and surprises as he continues to solidify his legacy.
