Notable rappers Zona Man and G Herbo have just released their highly anticipated single, “How I Started.” Both influential artists in their own right, this collaboration has provided listeners with an unforgettable track to stream all summer long. Zona Man and G Herbo both hail from Chicago, but have built a nationwide reputation for their commendable talent and successful albums. They have an outstanding, star-studded discography between the two of them, and their influence on the rap game is only growing.
While they’re enjoying current success and undeniable future potential, it’s their past that “How I Started” focuses on. As the name suggests, the single gives a glimpse into how they’ve built their careers from the bottom up and some of the challenges they faced along the way. In the first verse, Zona Man explains that you can’t trust just anyone when you’re working in this industry.
In addition, both the lyrics and music video show that in the past, the rapper had to make risky decisions to make ends meet. Zona Man explains that he knew some of the choices he made were wrong, but they enabled him to support his family. Those days are behind him, and Zona Man is now enjoying massive musical success. He’s released numerous singles in addition to “How I Started,” some of them featuring notable artists like Tory Lanez, Young Thug, and Future.
G Herbo’s talent has also been noticed by huge names in the industry. In 2016, Drake called G Herbo and fellow rapper Lil Bibby “the future.” That compliment from one of the biggest names in rap skyrocketed their popularity, setting G Herbo up for success. But Drake is not the only celebrity that’s noticed his incredible talent. G Herbo has also collaborated with Nicki Minaj, Chance the Rapper, Lil Uzi Vert, and Common. By working alongside some of the most famous artists in the industry, it’s only a matter of time before G Herbo is just as well-known.
By listening to “How I Started,” you’ll understand why these other, hugely successful artists have noticed G Herbo and Zona Man’s talent. The single is unstoppable, with both rappers demonstrating what they do best: put together unforgettable lyrics and rap them flawlessly.
While the single just came out, listeners are already raving.
