G Herbo Drops “Strictly 4 My Fans 2” Mixtape, Featuring GloRilla

April 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

G Herbo is back with a new mixtape. The rapper’s last album, Survivor’s Remorse, was released last year. The album was home to lots of big features, including appearances from Jeremih, Future, Offset, and others. The album was a success, and G Herbo seems to be riding that high to this day. Recently, the rapper made a statement on Instagram suggesting that he was working on something new. In the statement, he said he felt like the “best rapper alive.” Fans took that to mean he must be working on a new album, and it turns out they were right.

Although several rappers could contend for the title of the best, G Herbo believes he meets the criteria. After being in the industry for almost a decade, he may at least have a solid case to support his statement. Despite some disagreeing with him, he has consistently released good music over the past few years. Each new release showcased a different facet of his artistic depth. Projects such as PTSD and 25, in particular, were well-received by both fans and critics, leading many to believe that he has stepped up his game.

G Herbo’s Return To Form

Strictly 4 My Fans 2 is G Herbo’s latest effort. The mixtape includes 12 tracks and features guest verses from GloRilla, Mello Buckzz, and Drench. The mixtape was produced buy long-time collaborators of the rapper, like Southside and Oz On The Track. It has already been almost 7 years since the release of G Herbo’s first mixtape, Strictly 4 My Fans. At the time, he was only 21 years old, and it was that very mixtape that propelled him into the global spotlight.

On the new mixtape, G Herbo raps about still being part of the streets, even though he recently talked about leaving them. “I know on my block it ain’t safe / But where on the block I feel safe,” he raps. “Like a puzzle I feel I’m in place /
That’s where n*ggas get shot in they face.” On the track’s hook, G Herbo says he’s “still with killers.” That may be the case, but later on the album, he gets vulnerable about the fragile nature of life. On “Dead Or Alive,” the rapper wonders whether life is really worth it if you end up “stuck in a hearse.”

Quotable Lyrics:

Either way, I’m top five, dead, or alive
One of the trillest from my side, dead, or alive
Ran this sh*t up high, my kids fine
So, they livin’ like they mine, dead, or alive, I ain’t lyin’
Tell my mama, ain’t no cryin’, n*gga, I ain’t cryin’
Ain’t no killers in the car, n*gga, I ain’t ridin’
I’m the illest, bar for bar and I’m lit up like a star
All my ice on me a knot, b*tch, I’m still shinin’
