After surviving the gritty streets of the South Side neighborhood dubbed “Terror Town,” Chicago rapper G Herbo’s career was starting to take off in 2017 when he released a video for his hit song “Man Now,” filmed at an exotic villa in Jamaica. “You know I come from a city of sorrow,” the then-22-year-old Herbo rapped at the song’s outset, along with dramatic shots of palm trees, infinity pools .
In announcing the charges, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said many of the more than 90 guns allegedly trafficked in the scheme have been linked to Chicago-area shootings.
