The 29-year-old rapper shed the moniker in 2015, coinciding with his deal with Cinematic Music Group, \u00a0and the Chicago native&#8217;s star has been on the rise since then. In the last decade, Herbo has put out three top 10 albums and is working on his latest LP. Following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/g-herbo-avoids-prison-wire-fraud\/\" target=\"_blank\">legal drama<\/a> that threatened his career in 2023, the rapper, who is signed to Republic Records, has also found a new hustle with the <a href=\"https:\/\/gherbo.com\/gherbo-app\/\" target=\"_blank\">G Herbo app<\/a>. The former\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/xxl-freshman-class-cover-2016\/\" target=\"_blank\">2016 <em>XXL<\/em> Freshman<\/a>\u00a0member connects with <em>XXL<\/em> for an exclusive video interview\u00a0to discuss his new app, upcoming album, being the &#8220;Lil Wayne of this generation&#8221; and more.<\/p>\n<p>G Herbo is thinking toward the future. Back in December, he released his mixtape,\u00a0<em>Greatest Rapper Alive<\/em>, exclusively through his newly launched app. The platform, which features exclusive music, concert footage, live content and members-only offers, gives fans new insight into Herbo&#8217;s artistic side and serves as a savvy business move.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I first did it, the tech wasn&#8217;t all that,&#8221; he tells <em>XXL.<\/em> &#8220;I was trying something. And I didn&#8217;t really&#8230;I&#8217;m not gon&#8217; say I didn&#8217;t realize how big I was, or how big of a fan base I had, but when I launched it, it was crashing&#8230;It was so many people downloading the app and getting on there at one time. I didn&#8217;t even have all my eggs in one basket to the control aspect of it. To make sure everything ran smoothly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>These days, there are no glitches. He has a team behind him ensuring everything runs smoothly. &#8220;That&#8217;s the beauty of it,&#8221; he continues. &#8220;You gotta go through the ups and downs and make certain mistakes with things.\u00a0Now, our software and everything is super up to par.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>After dropping his <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DGM76uSOCEu\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">Welcome to Fazoland 2<\/a><\/em>\u00a0mixtape anniversary edition this past February on the app, Herbo is looking to push more new music to fans with a new album.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m working on my album right now,&#8221; he tells <em>XXL, <\/em>before sharing exclusive details. &#8220;I was torn between two names for my album. I was gonna name it either\u00a0<em>Never Lied in My Raps<\/em> or <em>Lil Herb<\/em>. But I&#8217;m leaning more towards <em>Lil Herb<\/em>, because I&#8217;m closing that chapter. My whole entire career, I been with the same team, I never switched anything up. Looking back on the legal battles and stuff that I went through&#8230;And the legal troubles I was having with my independent label. Getting on top of that and establishing myself&#8230;I&#8217;m closing that chapter on Lil Herb. I&#8217;m finally about to be 100 percent independent. It&#8217;s like a fresh start for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Herbo feels like he&#8217;s back for the first time, he is also settling into his role as a veteran MC. With over a decade in the game, seven albums under his belt and more than half a dozen mixtapes, Herbo is reaching OG status in the rap game.\u00a0He was recently lauded by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/tags\/rob49\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rob49<\/a> as this generation&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/tags\/lil-wayne\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lil Wayne<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That shit just made me feel so good just to hear somebody that I rap with, one of my peers, one of my friends seeing it from an unbiased way,&#8221; Herbo says of the compliment. &#8220;An artist like myself and Wayne, we not in it for the accolades. We not here to receive our flowers. We gon&#8217; get them regardless. If you put in the work, you gon&#8217; go out legendary.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aZHZDS2QkBo\" target=\"_blank\">2016 <em>XXL<\/em> Freshman alumnus<\/a>, G Herbo was a part of one of the most legendary Freshman classes of all time. A moment in time, he remembers fondly with the announcement of the 2025 class fast approaching.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[2026] that&#8217;s the most elite class of <em>XXL,&#8221; <\/em>Herbo opines<em>.<\/em>\u00a0&#8220;You got to think about it. Everybody on that cover with me is superstar status&#8230;I feel like it&#8217;s eight or nine of us from that list that still actively at the top of their game. It&#8217;s just a blessing to be a part of that. I had to make a <em>XXL<\/em> diss before I made the cover.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I been at this for quite some time,&#8221; he adds. &#8220;To get the recognition that we all want. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m not out here striving, saying I need this accolade. But at the end of the day, you always want to be rewarded for the work that you put in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Peep as the Chicago rapper opens up about his new album, closing out the Lil Herb chapter of his career, his new music app and more below.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center\">Watch G Herbo&#8217;s Interview With <em>XXL<\/em><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align:center\">Watch G Herbo&#8217;s &#8220;Wayback&#8221; Video<\/h3>\n<p><h2 class=\"photogallery-title\">See Every <em>XXL<\/em> Freshman Class Over the Years<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/www.xxlmag.com\/rest\/carbon\/api\/scripts.js?mver=599&#038;gver=6&#038;bid=812&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fbtloader.com%2Ftag%3Fo%3D5642230212591616%26upapi%3Dtrue&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.p-n.io%2Fpushly-sdk.min.js%3Fdomain_key%3DLT1Yn2pW9B5QzH6n4H2YlkQyVEfXVOOu82lt&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Ftownsquare.media%2Fpublic%2Fresources%2Fjs%2Fpubcid.min.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fplatform.twitter.com%2Fwidgets.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fapis.google.com%2Fjs%2Fplatform.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fconnect.facebook.net%2Fen_US%2Fsdk.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.pinterest.com%2Fjs%2Fpinit.js&#038;urls[]=https%3A%2F%2Fpub.doubleverify.com%2Fdvtag%2F29287203%2FDV1106009%2Fpub.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer data-osano=\"ESSENTIAL\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt Hip Hop Magizine News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"9431463036\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since\u00a0G Herbo\u00a0was Lil Herb, both literally and mentally.
