“PTSD” is the title track on the 24-year-old’s Machine Entertainment/Epic Records released studio LP. The D. A. Doman-produced song has amassed more than 44 million Spotify streams and 13 million YouTube views.
”My statement is about PTSD and what everybody goes through in the hood you don’t hear about,” states G Herbo about low-income communities having to deal with posttraumatic stress disorder. “Even the toughest among us face it. This is my story.”
The PTSD project also features 21 Savage, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, BJ The Chicago Kid, Jacquees, Polo G, and more. G Herbo managed to score his first Top 10 entry on the Billboard 200 album chart when PTSD peaked at #7 in March.
