Herb released his debut mixtape, Welcome to Fazoland, to critical acclaim in February 2014, followed by a second mixtape Pistol P Project in December 2014. In September 2015, Herb signed a deal with Cinematic Music Group & Sony Music.[2] His third mixtape, Ballin Like I'm Kobe, was released on September 29, 2015. Herb's fourth mixtape, Strictly 4 My Fans, was released on November 24, 2016. His debut studio album Humble Beast is supposedly scheduled for July 7, 2017.

Wright grew up in Terror Town, a neighborhood within East Side, Chicago known for its high levels of violence and gang activity.[3] He was influenced by artists such as Young Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Yo Gotti, Meek Mill, Lil Wayne.[4] He is close friends with fellow rapper Lil Bibby, with whom he has collaborated on numerous songs. Both artists are associated with the family N.L.M.B., which was originally formed from the merger of No Limit, a renegade faction of the Almighty Black P. Stone Nation, and the Muskegon Boyz, a renegade faction of the Gangster Disciples, although the initials N.L.M.B. are also currently used by the gang to signify "Never Leave My Brothers," and "No Limit Muskegon Boys." Lil Herb, however, has stated that N.L.M.B. is a "brotherhood" rather than a gang.

Lil Durk]
I swear to God, know a lot of niggas fu as hell, hear me? And they so real I swear to God on my kids. I'mma let niggas know how I feel about them, you feel me?

Ran real, lil nigga you ain't right
And I hold my own when I keep my pole
Lil nigga I'm just that tight
Where was you at when we starvin' at night?

No place to sleep at night
And you claim you my brother you get it that's (?)
Nigga you just ain't right
You ain't right lil nigga, I'm see the fake in you
Got plenty of snitches lil nigga ain't nobody making you
Where I'm from in my city lil nigga, it's easy to make the news

You ain't right lil nigga, you ain't right
I know lil niggas ain't right, ain't right

I don't put my trust in a nigga
I don't fuck with niggas, I know they ain't real
150 my niggas, I know they gone kill
Aiming slugs with my niggas we tryna suffer end
No choice but to deal
And for me they gon' [?] me put down the steel
G Herbo get you a deal
The harder you work it's so easy to get to them bills
House on the hills, coupes on some shit on wheels
Herbo I didn't grow up with a butler in LA with my Uncle Phil
No I was out of Chiraq posted up doin' drugs duckin' hollows
I know how they feel
If you ain't fuckin' round with your niggas you know you ain't real

They steady keep slidin' on No Limit don't know how to chill
They steady keep slidin' on No Limit don't know how to chill
Lost so many niggas don't know how to feel
You niggas don't know how to feel

Started with nigga when niggas ain't right
Ran real, lil nigga you ain't right
And I hold my own when I keep my pole
Lil nigga I'm just that tight
Where was you at when we starvin' at night?
No place to sleep at night
And you claim you my brother you get it that's (?)

Nigga you just ain't right
You ain't right lil nigga, I see the fake in you
Got plenty of snitches lil nigga ain't nobody making you
Where I'm from in my city lil nigga, it's easy to make the news
You ain't right lil nigga, you ain't right
I know lil niggas ain't right, ain't right

I don't fuck with you fuck niggas
When you see me in the street don't say nothin' to me
I ain't taking your word I know niggas ain't real
But that shit ain't mean nothin' to me
And you know you weren't out here with me in the field
So damn right, ain't nothin' for free
I got forty on me, I keep it on me
Don't run up on me
Used to pop out the house, go to school with my gun up on me
8 o'clock on the block with my hand in my pocket
It's already one up on me
And you know how I'm rockin' and duckin' on action
Them fuck niggas know where I be
But I can't trust a soul

Gotta watch out for niggas who know where I sleep
Swear to God keep my gun right under my pillow
Don't know til the pull, I don't sleep
We can (?)
And I been on the streets all my life

Kill a fuck nigga right in-front of me
When the cops rushing me I don't know how this (?)
