The Chicago and Atlanta combination of G Herbo and Southside have made for a electric hip-hop combination. Their Swervojoint LP (Southside Produced the entire project) has earmarked them as one of the hottest duos in the game. Despite their sizzling status, the two recently gave props to another heatseeking combo on the BET Hip-Hop Awards’ green carpet.

“I want to see the home team Lil Baby and Gunna,” said Southside, the man who has produced for Jay-Z, Kanye West, DJ Khaled, Waka Flocka Flame and Future, amongst others. “I want to see what they got going on."

“Ditto,” Herbo added. “I say the same thing. I want to see Baby and Gunna.”

Chi-Town’s Herbo has enjoyed Baby and Gunna’s rise, especially since they started on the underground circuit as he did.

“When you build it organically from the ground up, when you build it from the mud, it makes [the fans] cherish you more,” Herbo determined. “You want to keep striving literally. Like me and Southside knew each other before we had all these millions. He genuinely reached out to me when I was 15, still in the hood. Going on high speed [police chases] and going to jail. He saw it  in me before I saw it in a myself.”

“He was different. He was a different kid,” Southside reminisced. “The way he rapped. His style, everything. I couldn’t figure it out. I couldn’t figure it out. I love what I can’t figure out.”

Herbo and Southside are heading out on the road soon, headlining a 40 city tour.
