Bio

G Herbo not only put his hometown of Chicago, IL on his back as a rapper, but also as a mental health advocate and community leader. He’s done so by surviving, and he’s built a celebrated body of work as a testament to how far he’s come. 2020’s gold-selling cracked the Top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 and delivered a mental health clarion call in the form of the platinum-certified title track “” [feat. Juice WRLD, Lil Uzi Vert, & Chance the Rapper]. He only fought harder in its wake with the 2021 follow-up , earning his second consecutive Top 10 debut on the Billboard Top 200 and first Top 5 entry. Of 25, Pitchfork proclaimed, “His music has become more urgent.” Collaborations with everyone from the late Pop Smoke and The Kid LAROI to Dave East and Harry Fraud followed in between performances alongside Miley Cyrus and Marshmello. Meanwhile, he founded Swervin’ Through Stress—a youth mental health program highlighted by Forbes 30 Under 30. Breathing life back into the Windy City, he will remodel an old, shuttered, public elementary school as a community hub. However, his sweeping opus Survivor’s Remorse makes a statement and shows exactly who G Herbo is.
