Survivor's Remorse, the lengthy and involved fifth album from Chicago rapper
G Herbo, was released in two parts -- an
A Side and a B Side -- released within days of each other and culminating in one dense and powerful expression of suffering, self-reflection, and trauma response.
Herbo's rhyme skills are sharp and versatile, sounding tightly wound as he runs through a litany of painful memories and regrets over the dreamy motion of "Flashbacks" and switching to more confrontational, swagger-heavy flows on tracks like "Real Rap." The production throughout
A Side is neatly polished, transitioning easily from rugged trap blasts like "4 Minutes of Hell, Pt. 6" to the synth-driven mellowness of
Gunna-assisted album highlight "Shordie." Multiple other special guests feature throughout the record, with contributions from
Offset,
Benny the Butcher,
Jeremih, and more, as well as
Future stopping by to add a liquid hook to "Blues." ~ TiVo Staff
