G Herbo is gearing up for the release of his upcoming project Big Swerv, and he’s bringing some well-known collaborators along for the ride. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, details about the Chicago rapper’s new mixtape were revealed, including guest appearances from Chief Keef, Sexyy Red, and Skilla Baby.
Chief Keef, a fellow Chicago rapper, features on a track titled “No Pics,” while Sexyy Red and Skilla Baby lend their talents to the songs “Ten” and “Shoot,” respectively. Additionally, there’s a collaboration with 21 Savage called “In the A,” although it’s unclear whether this track will be included on “Big Swerv.”
Set to drop on September 6, the mixtape marks a shift in G Herbo’s musical direction. Unlike his previous releases, such as PTSD and Survivor’s Remorse, which delved into heavy and personal themes, Big Swerv is expected to have a lighter, more carefree vibe. G Herbo explained that while his past music focused on his experiences with violence and the streets, this new project will explore themes of fun, travel, and fashion—subjects that everyone can relate to.
“Not everybody has been in the streets. And not everybody had to experience violence to the levels that I’ve experienced violence. I was always vulnerable and talked about it through my music,” Herbo shared. “So 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.”
G Herbo first announced Big Swerv earlier this month, sharing the cover art on social media along with a teaser trailer that featured a snippet of a new song. He captioned the post with, “YOU BOYS GOT FAT WHILE THE STREETS STARVED… BIG SWERV BACK,” signaling his return to the music scene.
In the lead-up to the mixtape’s release, Herbo has launched a vlog series on YouTube, where he reflects on his journey from the streets of Chicago to becoming a Hip Hop star, detailing the highs and lows of his career.
Originally, the 28-year-old rapper had considered naming the project Best Rapper Alive, a title he revealed during a February interview with TMZ. During the interview, G Herbo also discussed his decision to get veneers, noting that it was a significant step in changing his image and boosting his confidence.
With Big Swerv just around the corner, fans are eagerly awaiting what G Herbo has in store, as he transitions into a new chapter of his music career.
