About
Genius Annotation
“Herbalist” was a single off of Alborosie’s album Soul Pirate. This song is the tale of a drug smuggler as he makes his way up in the game. Starting out small and making it to the bigs the music video accompanies the song perfectly and allows you to see the progression and development of an HERBALIST. The hook shows the development of ways to wash your money; from building a house, buying cars, building clubs, and ‘buying’ women.
