G Herbo Gives Fans A Sneak Peek At “Greatest Rapper Alive” Project With “Roc Block”

by

G Herbo is back and with a project for his hardcore supporters this weekend. The Chicago drill stalwart left off Greatest Rapper Alive, a 16-song effort with one feature (Big Opp) and its executively produced by Oz On The Track. The catch though is that it’s only available on his new self-titled app. It’s available for download on the App Store or on Google Play, however, it’s a little tricky to find on your mobile device. You might have better luck though, so visit the rapper’s website here and give it a shot.

So far, for the people who have been able to get access, they are loving it. Since we don’t want you to miss out on the hype, we got you. Well, G Herbo more so does because he shared one it’s most popular songs to YouTube. It’s called “Roc Block,” which is track number three on the tape. It finds Big Swerv rapping over a soulful sample and trap rap beat with a lot of energy. It’s an empowering anthem about how he got successful, but it also details all of the dark and treacherous things he went through growing up. It’s one of our favorite Herbo tracks of the year for sure, so make sure to spin it below.

“Roc Block” – G Herbo

Quotable Lyrics:

Ain’t nobody handed me, I had to go and get it
Now my family think I’m just ‘posed to up and give it
I ain’t uppin’ nothin’, stayin’ on my f***in’ pivot
‘Member I was down bad, they ain’t uplift a n****
Hate me ’cause of my lifestyle cost a couple figures
I was clutchin’ glizzies, now I might run up a fifty

Global hip-hop star G Herbo has released his highly anticipated mixtape, Greatest Rapper Alive, exclusively through the G Herbo App. Accompanied by the official video for “Roc Block,” this 16-track project is a nostalgic nod to the early 2000s mixtape era, evoking memories of platforms like Datpiff and HotNewHipHop.

Produced entirely by Chicago native Oz On The Track, the mixtape reimagines classic samples from icons such as Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Jeezy, and Nelly. The “Roc Block” video provides fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse of G Herbo’s performance at WGCI’s Big Jam in December.

Fans can access Greatest Rapper Alive exclusively on the G Herbo App and stream the “Roc Block” video now. The release follows “Spend That Bag,” a track from G Herbo’s September album, Big Swerv.

G Herbo Treats Fans To Exclusive New Mixtape “Best Rapper Alive”

by

G Herbo must have taken notice of how well J. Cole’s Inevitable podcast did. The latter was able to give his fans exclusive content behind a paywall, and Herbo attempted something very similar with his latest mixtape, Best Rapper Alive. Instead of dropping the tape on Spotify or Apple Music, or even YouTube, he decided to post it on his own website. Well, an app that one can download from his website. The rapper is trying to cut out the middle man and cater directly to his fanbase with Best Rapper Alive. The music is exactly what you’d expect.

Best Rapper Alive boasts 16 tracks, and G Herbo does his thing on pretty much all of them. “Through the Fire” and “Roc Block” are showcases for the rapper’s charismatic delivery. G Herbo has already given his fans two separate projects in 2024. Including the aptly titled Strictly for My Fans 2.0. It’s a little bit ironic, though, that he decided to put Best Rapper Alive on an exclusive app instead of the one specifically titled after his fans. We digress. “Blueprint” and “Hold Me Down” are also standout cuts that boast slick beats and spirited vocal performances from G Herbo. It’s up to you to decide whether you want to download a whole new app to listen. Those who do, though, will be pleased.

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.

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.

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.”

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.
