After a week of listening to more underground music, I found the underrated North Bay Area artist, who to me is slept on. “H3RB” is the underground artist for this week.
I met H3RB in 2017 when I went to Arizona on spring break. Ever since meeting him, and listening to his music over the past few months, I’ve grown to understand his lyrics on a deeper level.
Residing out of Santa Rosa, California, H3RB has a special rap sound that may seem different to people that are from different states, coasts’, and countries. But good music is good music. His special west coast sound is what makes him so different than what most people listen to. Unlike most artist he talks about his life and his experiences he’s been through. A mixture of emotion, pain and pure hustle.
“I always wanted to pursue music but I had a track and field dream that I was chasing as well but now I’m 100% into music.” -H3RB
H3RB, has been rapping for about 6 years, but has only recently got in the booth a little over a year ago. His first song ever was “Rookie Szn Freestyle“. H3RB has four songs with thousands of streams on SoundCloud and is expecting to drop more music later on this spring. H3RB’s most recent song “Luke Cage“, dropped on the first day of March.
My favourite song by the young California artist is “Rookie Szn Freestyle”. With this being his first song, H3RB clearly has put a lot of his feelings into this song, from problems with his girlfriend to his passed away friends, H3RB raps about it all. I like this song so much because I can relate a lot to what he’s rapping about. H3RB raps the lyrics “turning all these goals into gold”. That line to me sticks out because the goals I have set for myself will have me a good amount of gold chains, which is a small steps in where I see myself in the future. Being able to buy gold chains, with no hesitation or problem. With an increasing number of listeners, H3RB is definitely one of my favorite rappers that represent and come out of California.
Be on the lookout for more of H3RB’s music and dip into a style of rap that you’re not used to. Broaden your musical horizon to the west coast of the USA. Being the athlete that I am, I am always listening to music! Whether I’m listening to my SoundCloud downloaded music, Apple Music, Spotify or even Youtube I will always run across an H3RB song. Personally, his music is FIRE and he has a song if you’re in the mood to put in some serious work, regardless if it’s in the gym or in the office.
