He and fellow rapper and friend Lil Bibby would later start their rap careers after being inspired by their rap heroes.
Herbo and Lil Bibby both belong to the NLMB fraternity The name draws on different sources of inspiration. The four letters N, L, M, and B come from merging two gang names: No Limit (a faction of the Almighty Black P. Stone gang) and Muskegon Boyz (a faction of the Gangster Disciples).
