Album Review: G Herbo - PTSD

Throughout PTSD, Herbo acknowledges his savage ways (He talks about shootouts a lot in the album), but also comes across like someone who wants to bring the topic of mental health to the forefront. I thought the way he balanced the two worlds together was masterful.

From the moment you press play on PTSD, you are gifted to instrumentals that are as riveting as it gets. Some feature old school vibes, while others sound like they would fit perfectly on The Irishman’s soundtrack.

Herbo definitely could’ve done this album all by his lonesome. With that being said, I thought artists like A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Lil Durk, Juice WRLD, Lil Uzi Vert, Polo G, and Jacquees added well-needed melodies to PTSD.

G Herbo doesn’t rap simply to make money or hits, he raps to let the world know what growing up in the hood has done to his mind. Personally, I appreciate his openness on PTSD, and musically, applaud him for understanding how to bridge the gap between old school and new school street rap masterfully.
