G Herbo Re-Releases “Strictly 4 My Fans 2” With Five New Tracks

by

Chicago’s own G Herbo has been a name in hip-hop circles since he was seventeen years old, after appearing on Lil Bibby’s debut mixtape Free Crack. Welcome to Fazoland, Herbo’s own debut tape (as Lil Herb), dropped over ten years ago, when he was eighteen. It quickly became popular on DatPiff. Since then, G Herbo has not quite had the star-level breakthrough that some of his Chicago peers did (i.e. Chief Keef and Lil Durk), but he has had a career that any aspiring rapper would be happy with. He has a highly dedicated fanbase and a collection of projects that they love. In April 2023, Herbo released Strictly 4 My Fans 2, the sequel to his 2016 mixtape. Over a year and a half later, he reissued the project, this time with five new tracks.

“Teflon” features an appearance from Taurus and production by Wheezy. The other four tracks, “Lionhearted,” “Breathing Heavy,” “My Soul,” and “Essence,” are solo cuts. G Herbo is in his element on the tracks, with his hard-hitting flow and dense verses about the life he was in. They’re strong additions to a mixtape his fans received well. Of course, his fans last saw G Herbo on Kai Cenat’s “Mafiathon 2” subathon on Twitch. He and his son shared an emotional moment that showed some real vulnerability. But now, he’s right back where he’s most comfortable: making music. Check out the five new tracks on Strictly 4 My Fans 2.0 below.

Skilla Baby & Ari Fletcher Address Rampant Cheating Rumors Following Suggestive Video

by

Social media influencer and entrepreneur Ari Fletcher has had her fair share of difficult relationships. Two of her more recent and most notable connections include Chicago rapper G Herbo, and Memphis MC, Moneybagg Yo. The latter is who she’s sort of with right now, as the best way to put their status would be “on and off.” As for the drill mainstay, they have not been together since 2019, but they share a now six-year-old son, Yosohn. Their experience co-parenting has also seen its own deal of ups and downs. We say all of this to say, Fletcher knows what comes with being well-known and how the relationships of this magnitude can be and how they are portrayed.

With that knowledge comes being able to handle the headlines and speculation that can come with it. So, it’s no surprise that Ari is controlling the narrative and setting the record straight, to perfection. Recently, there has been a rampant rumor running around that involves the multi-media savant and up-and-coming Detroit act, Skilla Baby. According to a post from HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED, a video is the catalyst in this case and it’s been suggesting that he’s been sneaking around with Ari lately.

A post shared by HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED (@hollywoodunlocked)

She didn’t make things look all hunky-dory either, as a lankier man wearing a yellow hoody was walking around behind her. As he was, Ari leaned in the direction of where this mystery man –suspected to be Skilla– was going. She even downplayed the situation by continuing to talk to her fans on social media after that had just happened. However, she’s saying that it wasn’t him in the video and so is the man in question.

Both took the time to address the cheating rumors and did so like adults. Skilla made sure to be on the record saying that G Herbo is one of his boys and that he’d never act out like that. “G Herbo my real big brotha and one of the only rapper friends I have that I value,” he began. “I’m not that type of guy and sis ain’t that type of girl 100% not me in no video with Ari.” She then spoke out saying that it was a close friend who was dealing with a nosebleed at that time. She was also quite shocked that people were assuming it was Skilla in the clip but that she would never fool around like that. She’s also done with the relationship posts claiming, “It’s just better private not even that it’s a secret. It’s just 1,000,000% better this way.”

Among the fresh material is the latest single “Play Your Part,” featuring Chris Brown.

Lil Durk’s Controversial King Von Reference On New G Herbo Song Raises Eyebrows After Arrest

by

Listening to Lil Durk carries a very different context these days for fans, as federal authorities recently arrested him and charged him with alleged murder-for-hire. Of course, this opened up a discussion about how much rap lyrics could or should be used to prove or disprove criminal cases, a sadly common one in the hip-hop world. After all, many people hear the street references in his songs with a different ear now, if they weren’t already critical of his music before. However, it’s important to note that this is just speculative fan interpretation, and that no lyrical exchange or display could prove an alleged crime outright.

Given the circumstances of Lil Durk’s arrest for the allegedly attempted retaliation for King Von’s murder, some lines still stick out like sore thumbs for their coincidental references if you have the alleged context. For example, fans pointed to “In The Air,” the latest collab between Durk and G Herbo on the latter’s Big Swerv 2.0 deluxe edition. “Farewell, I’m gettin’ up out the ‘Raq, I’m a survivor / Yeah, yeah, I turned a serial killer to a rapper,” The Voice raps on the cut.

G Herbo & Lil Durk’s “In The Air”: Listen

This line seems to reference a controversial documentary about King Von by YouTuber and journalist Trap Lore Ross that compares the late MC’s alleged crimes to the FBI’s definition of a serial killer. Many within Chicago and outside of it weren’t fans, calling Ross out for what they perceived as exploitation. It was also yet another divisive example of connecting rap lyrics to crimes, although fans think doing that on YouTube is very different than in court. No matter what, a lot of Lil Durk listeners can’t help but raise their eyebrows at lines like these. But not enough to support the use of artistic expression as primary “evidence” in a criminal case.

Meanwhile, the hip-hop world continues to react to Lil Durk’s arrest, whether with sympathetic sadness or with critical force. Fans are pointing to lines like these as examples of his efforts to improve the situations of those around him, while others claim that they just further the promotion of a dangerous lifestyle. In online discussions, lyrical interpretation is a very personal matter. We’ll see whether lyrics end up being a point of contention with advocates and critics alike in actual legal proceedings.

G Herbo Enlists Chris Brown, Meek Mill, & Lil Durk For “Big Swerv 2.0”

by

G Herbo has built a reputation for himself over the last 10 years as one of the main voices of the Chicago drill subgenre. That longevity has certainly paid dividends and bolsters that claim even more. His consistency is also another reason why he deserves that title, as he has had a new project at the ready practically every year. 2024 has been no exception, as he dropped of Big Swerv, a 14-song effort in early September.

The goal was a little bit different for Herbo this time around, focusing more on the pleasures in life rather than its cons. “I want to talk about having fun, I want to talk about traveling the world, and living life, and fashion, and stuff that everybody loves, that everybody can relate to,” he told HipHopDX prior to its release. He succeeded in that regard, and it seems that G Herbo has really been loving this release because he’s adding to it by bringing out Big Swerv 2.0. This deluxe tacks on seven more records, three of which are collaborations. He shows off his more sensitive side with Chris Brown on “Play Your Part.” Then, with the Meek Mill and Lil Durk team-ups, Herbo gets into his introspective and motivational bag that he’s known for. Check out the new additions for yourself with the DSP links.

Tee Grizzley & G Herbo Skate On Their Latest Collaboration “Swerve”

by

Tee Grizzley has just put out Post Traumatic, his twelfth project and follow-up to Tee’s Coney Island. The Detroit native has won our support for it, as we really appreciate some of the chances he took with it. There are some nice sample flips and more R&B-like cuts on this 24-song set that go over better than some may expect. What’s also nice about this tape is that Grizzley is giving his fans what they know him for as well. That is hard-hitting trap and hardcore rap bangers with intense flows. Tee Grizzley and G Herbo are doing that and at a high level on “Swerve.”

If you can believe it, this is just the third occasion in which they have been on a song together. The most recent is on YG’s latest record, JUST RE’D UP 3, on the track “MALIBU.” Prior to that, the Midwest stars linked on Tee’s Built For Whatever cut, “Never Bend Never Fold.” On “Swerve,” Herbo and Grizzley equally trade verses and in thrilling fashion. Aiding that sensation is that the fact that they both rap with ease over a dramatic piano trap beat. They indeed slip, slide, and “Swerve” all over the production and it’s one of our go-to’s from this tracklist. Listen to it below and see what you think.

“Swerve” – Tee Grizzley & G Herbo

Quotable Lyrics:

Rappin’ and trappin’ almost stopped me from prevailin’
In the studio, but I was stoppin’, makin’ sales (And)
F***ed that paper up when all my partners went to jail (And)
Anything under quarter million made bail (You know that)
Anything I say false, then you can intervene
Like how I used to walk with .40 Glocks and make them b****es sing (Bop)

Tee Grizzley’s “Post Traumatic” Is His Most Ambitious Album To Date

by

Tee Grizzley has deceptive range as an artist. For someone who broke through with a hard-hitting sound, the rapper has proven that he can drop everything from lyrical miracles to sticky R&B melodies. His last few albums were concise in terms of tracklist, but they were also limited in scope. Post Traumatic, on the other hand, is sprawling. At 24 tracks, it is Tee Grizzley’s longest album to date, and it serves as the ideal showcase for all the different sounds and style he can convincingly pull off.

Post Traumatic starts off a bit show, but “Blow for Blow” gets the momentum going. From track three on, Tee Grizzley dishes out sample-based pop-rap on “All I Wanna Do.” He turns around and leans into hard trap tropes on the hooky “More Than Half.” Need more? How about a flirty R&B duet with Tink on “Ride or Die”? Post Traumatic keeps changing out the styles and featured artists while maintaining a cohesion and aesthetic consistency. It’s an impressive balance. Tee Grizzley sounds just as good opposite Future on the off-kilter “Swear to God” as he does Mariah the Scientist on “Situationship.” The length of Post Traumatic can be daunting, but even on shuffle, these various sounds cohere into a great listening experience.

Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

VonOff1700, Polo G, & G Herbo Aren’t Playing Around On “Dead N****s”

by

The Chicago drill scene has been shouldered by names such as Lil Durk, Chief Keef, and G Herbo for about a decade. But with so many aspiring rappers out there, the changing of the guard is going to happen at some point. Someone who could be a face of the cutthroat subgenre is VonOff1700. The 21-year-old does already have a few hits under his belt such as “Opps On Deck”, “Free Brick Freestyle”, and “S.O.B.”. All of those are on his 2024 debut project, #FreeMyHoodF***YoHood. Thanks to its success, VonOff1700 is now getting a chance to work with Polo G and G Herbo.

You can hear some of the influences, especially in the production and in Von’s delivery on “Dead N****s”, the trio’s first collab. What makes this single a winner in our books is the eerie woodwind beat, and everyone’s aggressive verses and mic presence. Those two qualities are always things you can count on from Chicago drill artists to provide, and those are here and then some. Also helping “Dead N****s” is Von’s clunky but still catchy chorus. Overall, this all the ingredients to be a major track for him, and if you check out the YouTube video below, you’ll see that the view count helps prove our point.

We just f***, get out, no cuddlin’ (You know that)

G Herbo Addresses Breach Of Contract Lawsuit From Former Legal Team

by

G Herbo still can’t escape his 2020 federal wire fraud case, as he received a lawsuit from the very firm that represented him in that situation. Moreover, according to court documents reportedly obtained by AllHipHop, Prince Lobel Tye LLP sued him on Tuesday (September 24) for “breach of contract” and “unjust enrichment.” Specifically, they claim that the rapper (real name Herbert Wright III) owes the company over $237K and stopped paying them “roughly two weeks” before his sentence in that wire fraud case. The filing also posits that he accepted their services “with knowledge of Prince Lobel’s reasonable expectation of payment.”

“[G Herbo] has not paid and owes Prince Lobel $237,582.67 for legal work and services performed by the firm on his behalf,” attorneys reportedly stated concerning the Big Swerv MC. “This amount includes interest in the amount of $26,542.85. The last payment made by Mr. Wright was on December 29, 2023. […] It would be unjust for Mr. Wright to enjoy the benefits of Prince Lobel’s services without paying for them. As a result of Mr. Wright’s failure and refusal to pay for the legal work performed by Prince Lobel but accepting the fruits of that work, Mr. Wright has been unjustly enriched, and Prince Lobel has suffered harm.”

G Herbo Sued For Breach Of Contract

Then, on Thursday (September 26), G Herbo gave an exclusive statement to The Shade Room in response to this lawsuit. “I feel like I’m only dealing with this because I’m a celebrity,” he shared. “What they left out is that I’ve already paid them almost $1 million. Yes, I still owe $237,000, and I take accountability for that, even though I feel like they overcharged me because of who I am.

“They also didn’t inform me that the big banks would refuse to bank me regardless of how much I had in the account,” G Herbo continued. “That is just one of the many challenges I’ve faced since the case ended; I’ve needed to change my team and needed time to restructure. Still, I appreciate everything they did for me and hope they have patience while I rebuild my business.” We’ll see what agreement they land on in court.
