G Herbo
is one of the most respected rappers
to make it out of Chicago.
But before rap,
Herb was also active in the streets
and had beef with another Chiraq savage
KTS Dre,
who was shot 64 times
outside of Cook County Jail.
Let’s take a look at this crazy story.
Herb was born in the South Shore neighborhood
of Chicago.
He grew up on 79th street,
an area that was full of crime and violence.
To keep him from getting into trouble,
his mom made him go down to
the local youth center after school,
which is where he first linked up
with Lil Bibby.
They both had an interest in basketball and rap,
so they formed a close friendship
that still continues to this day.
But growing up in a wild city like Chicago,
it would take more than an after-school program
to keep Herb out of trouble.
In high school,
he started skipping class to play basketball
and when he did show up,
he was getting into constant fights.
He eventually dropped out
at just 16
and started getting deeper into the streets.
Herb and Bibby
were part of a gang called No Limit,
which is a renegade set of the Black P. Stones.
No Limit would form an alliance
with a renegade set of the GDs’
called the Muskegon Boys
and form a larger group
called NLMB
which stood for No Limit Muskegon Boys
or Never Leave My Brothers Alone.
Both of these groups were renegades,
which meant that they didn’t follow the rules
and share the same beefs
as the other gangs they broke off from.
Plus,
they had beef with almost every other gang in the city.
One of their main opps
is a GD set called KTS
or Kill to Survive.
KTS Dre was a rapper affiliated with the gang,
who was from the Lakeside neighborhood
His whole family was affiliated with the GD’s,
including his father Vinny
and his brother Lil Vinny.
KTS would not only beef with NLMB,
they would also beef with several BD sets as well,
including O’Block and 600.
The beef between KTS
and NLMB
all started after the death of an affiliate
named Parris Bassett
aka Lil Pez.
Pez was killed
back in March 2008
in the Grand Crossing neighborhood.
He was found on the sidewalk with a bullet in his head
on the 1300 block of East 72nd Street
around 11 pm.
Pez was killed just two days
before his mother’s birthday
when he was only 16 years old.
His aunt later told the Chicago Tribune
that Parris was a good kid
but “he went down the wrong road,
and he got himself into something
he could not get out of”.
She also believes his death
was gang-related.
Parris wasn’t a confirmed member of KTS,
but he was from the neighborhood
and many people there loved him.
So his death hit hard.
No one was ever arrested for the murder,
but KTS believed that NLMB was responsible.
So,
after that,
it was an all-out war
and both KTS Dre
and his brother Von
would start applying pressure
to NLMB.
At one-point,
Dre and Von would slide into No Limit territory
and press several members
who were hanging out at a Mcdonald's.
Dre would end up punching a No Limit member
named Kyro in the face
while recording the whole thing on video.
Dre tried to get Kyro to say **** Roc,
a dead member of NLMB.
Say **** Roc son.
Say **** Roc
But Kyro refused to back down
and stood his ground the whole time.
As soon as KTS Dre and his homies left the McDonalds,
Kyro also later confronted Dre
on Instagram Live,
proving that he wasn’t scared.
Then, in April 2010,
a No-Limit member named Fazon Robinson
was shot and killed on the 2900 block
of East 79th Street.
Police arrived on the scene
and found Robinson dead
with a gunshot wound to the back of the head.
He was brought to the hospital
but later pronounced dead at just 19 years old.
Fazon was known by the name G Fazo
and was a respected member of NLMB.
G Herbo would later name his debut mixtape
Welcome to Fazoland
after his dead homie
and would shout him out often in songs.
G Fazo’s death
also remains unsolved,
but many have credited the hit
to either KTS Von or Dre.
The following year,
KTS would strike again
and take out another NMLB member
named Jacoby Herron,
aka Kobe.
The 21-year-old
was killed outside the same McDonalds
on the 2400 block of East 79th Street,
where Dre punched No Limit Kyro.
Kobe was another well-loved member
of NLMB
and his death was a major loss for the gang.
In an interview with Sway in the Morning,
Herb said that he was with Kobe
celebrating Bibby’s brother’s birthday,
right before he got shot.
He told Sway
“We was together.
We was outside
like four in the morning
on the block chillin,
shootin dice,
all type of stuff.
He just pimped off.
He was always the type to not ask someone for ****.
We got five cars out there.
He ain’t ask for a ride.
He lived a couple blocks over…
just walked off
and we heard shots go off.
Like a lot of shots…
We get to the scene
and I see my homie dead”
Herb would go on to name his third mixtape
Ballin Like I’m Kobe,
in honor of his dead friend.
No one was ever arrested for Kobe’s murder either, but the word on the street
is that it was KTS Von and Dre.
This rumor would basically be confirmed
after KTS Dre dropped a song in 2015
called Kill to Survive,
where he can be seen rocking a jacket
that says **** Yo Dead Homie on the back,
along with a bunch of dead members of NLMB,
including Fazo and Kobe.
Not long after that,
NLMB would even the score
and take out KTS Von for his wild disrespect.
On June 23rd, 2015,
Von was standing with a group of people
outside a house on Ellis Avenue,
just south of 75th street,
when two men jumped out of an SUV
and started shooting into the crowd.
Von was hit and pronounced dead at the scene,
being only 21 years old.
Like most murders in Chicago,
Von’s killer was never found.
But an NLMB member
named Choppa
would post a video online
dissing Von the day he died,
leading many to believe
that they were behind the murder.
But,
before he had a chance to slide for his brother,
KTS Dre would be arrested for a gun charge
and would spend the next three years behind bars.
Also, around that same time,
G Herbo’s career would really start taking off,
after the success of his hit track
Kill Shit with Lil Bibby.
Herb and Bibby would ride the wave of Chicago drill,
while establishing their own sound.
So even though the beef between KTS
and NLMB still continued in the streets,
the beef between Herb and Dre
would be put on hold,
while Dre was locked up
and Herb was working on his music.
Even after being released for the gun charge,
KTS Dre would continue to get sent back to jail
over the next few years
for charges that included child endangerment,
domestic battery,
and drug possession.
In April 2020,
he was caught with a gun again
and sent right back to Cook County jail.
Dre was at a gas station,
when two cops saw him
and started grilling him.
When they looked in his car,
they saw a pistol by the driver’s seat.
Dre tried to get away by jumping in the car
and speeding off.
But,
the officers were eventually able to stop him
and he was arrested for possession of a firearm
as a convicted felon
and resisting arrest.
He was able to post bond
but was put on house arrest to await trial.
Then, in January 2021,
another NLMB member
named Lil Greg
would be killed in a broad daylight hit
while getting his haircut at a local barbershop.
Greg was inside the Studio Nineteen Barbershop
on State Street
when a gunman walked in and shot him in the face,
then escaped in a Volvo SUV.
Greg was brought to the hospital
but later pronounced dead at just 24 years old.
All of his homie's deaths
hit hard for G Herbo.
But Greg’s was possibly the worst.
The two had known each other
since they were just kids
and Herb has said
that Greg was like a brother to him.
A man named Christopher Mosley
was later arrested for the shooting.
Police pulled him over in the Woodlawn neighborhood,
driving a vehicle that matched the description of the getaway car.
Plus,
they also discovered a .40 caliber glock on him.
But he was later released
due to lack of evidence.
Mosley is affiliated with
the Pocket Town set of the GDs,
a gang with ties to KTS.
KTS Dre
later claimed that he had nothing to do with Lil Greg’s death,
but he also didn’t care
because he was still an opp.
Dre has also used Greg’s death
to taunt members of NLMB,
often telling them on social media,
go to the barbershop.
Need to see the barber *****
Need to see my barber
My **** look ****** up
At that point,
Dre was still on house arrest
for the gun charge
he caught back in April.
He was only allowed to leave his house
for a few hours each day
to run errands.
Dre wasn’t going to let that stop him
from going about his business
and he continued to move around Chicago.
He even made a trip to Wisconsin,
without the permission of the court.
But when authorities found out
about his activities,
he was arrested for violating his parole
and brought back to Cook County Jail.
His fiancée posted his $5000 bail,
but he still had to spend the night locked up
and wasn’t released until the following day.
As he was released,
he was met by his fiancé and grandmother,
and together they left Cook County
and headed toward their car.
As they exited the jail,
two cars pulled up
and several shooters hopped out.
They all started letting off shots,
showering Dre and his family with bullets.
His grandmother was hit in the knees
and an innocent bystander was also grazed in the mouth,
but they both survived.
But, Dre was shot a total of 64 times
in the face and torso
and passed away almost immediately
at just 31 years old.
No one has been arrested for his murder,
but many have claimed
it was the work of NLMB,
getting revenge for disrespect
of Lil Greg.
Their hood was allegedly shot up
the same night
and it makes sense
given their history.
KTS Dre’s death
closed a chapter on one of the craziest beefs
in the history of Chicago.
At this point,
Herb has too much to lose
and KTS
just lost one of their most respected members.
Herb got the upper hand
with his main opp gone.
It’s hard to tell
if he will leave the streets alone for good,
or get sucked back into the beef.
Hopefully,
he can now put the past behind him
and focus on his music,
so he doesn’t end up dead as well.
Well, that's all for today….
