G Herbo, born Herbert Wright III, represents an earlier wave of Chicago drill’s breakthrough. He gained initial attention with his Welcome to Fazoland mixtape. His career evolved with albums like Humble Beast and PTSD, the latter receiving a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album. His lyrics often address trauma, street life, and socio-economic conditions. Their partnership on Gangsta Graduation is a notable moment for the genre, pairing Polo G’s melodic drill style with G Herbo’s raw, narrative-driven approach.
