If you enjoyed Lil Herb’s Welcome To Fazoland as much as we did, you’d want to know a bit more about the Chicago rapper behind it. In the first episode of his webseries, Lil Herb talks about the inspiration behind the name of the mixtape (friend Fazon was killed in his neighborhood), the ties among the songs that complete a project, and who motivates him to make music everyday.

A couple cameos are made by Halsted, Lil Bibby, and King L. Oh, and plenty of jewelry and nice things I can’t have. As long as the emcee continues to surround himself with like minded artists who push him like he is now, we can only foresee stronger projects to come with his growth.
