Lil Herb

Lil Herb spoke on what’s happening with his music career during a recent chat with VladTV. While he’s already dropped a couple of mixtapes and has another one in the works, the Chi-Town spitter says he’s not anticipating releasing an album for the time being, as he wants to get his buzz a little higher through touring and shows first. However, Herb feels like there are songs on his upcoming mixtape “Ballin’ Like I’m Kobe” that make it feel like an album.

Lil Herb opened up to VladTV about a myriad of topics, including police brutality in the U.S., and the rapper said that he’s seen many die at the hands of law enforcement. The Chicago native adds that officers have gunned down people on the streets, yet no weapons were found on the victim. During the conversation, Herb also explained why he doesn’t do diss records, and says that it makes him feel like a hypocrite. Check out what else he had to say in the above clip.

Lil Herb reflected on working with both Nicki Minaj and Common and how both business moves have helped to boost his career exponentially. Herb explained how Nicki quickly flew him out to record “Chiraq” with her at her personal studio shortly after speaking about the musical union from a distance. He also reflected on how he’s worked with fellow Chicago native, Common, on many occasions, and how he contributed to “The Neighborhood,” which was the opening song off of Common’s Grammy-nominated Nobody’s Smiling album.
