Veteran Chicago rapper gherbo discusses how he wrote his most vulnerable album to date, ‘PTSD’
Just a day after ‘PTSD’ was released, one of Herbo’s younger sisters faced the same tragedy he’s been writing about. “One of my younger sisters suffers from post traumatic stress disorder,” he says. “One of her best friends was shot multiple times in a grocery store or a corner store literally the day after I dropped my project. So it’s a non-ending cycle rather you’re a male or female.
So being clinically diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, which was well over a year ago, I didn’t know I was suffering from a mental health disorder. I thought I was normal and everything I went through was just normal life. But it is not normal life. Speaking to someone who has never been through any of this and can help you on a professional level will tell you that a lot of stuff that people like me go through does mold us a certain way.
I never boxed myself in as a drill rapper, I just came out in a drill era. If you go back and listen to[back in 2013-2014], that’s not drill music at all. Not even a little bit. I feel drill was a way of life, it wasn’t really music. It really was us growing up and — not really glorifying — but shedding light on what we go through.
