Polo G has fulfilled and even surpassed his “Rapstar” moniker in the past two years with consistent and explosive success in the rap game. With last year’s blowup sophomore album The Goat, a #1 song on Billboard, and today’s release of his third album Hall of Fame, there seems to be nothing that can stop the Chicago rapper’s drive. Polo G sat down with The Breakfast Club today to discuss these successes, his journey to the top, and more with Charlamagne and the group. He spoke on everything from drug addiction, his high-profile collaborations, and his vision for the future.
Polo G, real name Taurus Bartlett, began the interview speaking on his recent purchase of a $5 million mansion– a perfect metaphor for his stature in the contemporary rap game. “It’s like the level that I’m at now in my career. It’s a reflection of it at this point,” the rapper had to say about the purchase. Purchasing mansions and working with industry legends like Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj hasn’t come without hard work, however, says Bartlett who began writing songs when he was nine. He began taking music seriously in his senior year of high school and enrolled in an HBCU, though he “had just went to the studio instead and stayed in Chicago”, as he tells Charlamagne. He then tapped his “businesswoman” mom to manage his music career when he started blowing up.
“It took for me to get back home and know what I just did, I’m like, damn I just shot a video with Lil Wayne,” the rapper says on his impressive track “GANG GANG” with the rap legend. He then remarks how excited his family was at his new track “For the Love of New York” with Nicki Minaj. Though he finds he needs no coaching or outside direction in his career, “there’s no one really experienced in the rap game who’s going to coach me”- he found guidance in his short friendship with late rapper Juice WRLD.
As for the future, Polo G promises new music and another business venture into the jewelry business. He also plans on investing money into the city of Chicago, focusing on infrastructure and the livelihood of neglected neighborhoods.

It seems that every so often, the “Mount Rushmore” conversation resurfaces on Twitter, bringing with it another round of debate. Over the past few weeks, Mount Rushmore memes have returned in a big way thanks to a Rap Caviar post about the Mount Rushmore of the 2010s. While that debate mainly revolved around the absence of Nicki Minaj, the latest iteration has inspired even more spirited debate thanks to a generational disconnect and the controversial inclusion of one much newer rapper, Lil Baby.
The new meme posits the “GOATs of Atlanta” — i.e. the “greatest of all time” rap acts from The Big Peach — as Jeezy, Future, Rich Homie Quan, and Lil Baby. Leaving aside the fact that no rapper who debuted before 2000 appears, fans opposed Lil Baby’s inclusion, as the younger rapper has only had two studio album releases since breaking out in 2018 with Harder Than Ever. While Lil Baby has expanded his catalog with joint albums like Voice Of The Heroes with Lil Durk and Drip Harder with Gunna.

Hip-hop fans were also put off by the omission of higher-profile faces like Gucci Mane, Ludacris, Outkast, and T.I. Some fans also questioned the inclusion of Rich Homie Quan, whose contributions, while notable, were also decidedly limited thanks to Quan’s relatively short run of impactful hits.
You can see some of the responses below.

Tiny came at T.I. on Instagram, Thursday, after the rapper posted vacation pictures of the couple that Tiny found unflattering. The couple, who recently bought a beautiful mansion in Atlanta for a hefty price, is shown riding horseback on a beach in the pics.
“All I need in this life of sin…” T.I. captioned the photos.
Down in the comments, Tiny replied: “U gotta check with me on these pix u choose from now on sir.”
T.I. and Tiny began dating in 2001 before later marrying in 2010. They share two sons and one daughter.
Perhaps ready to settle down for the long haul, T.I.’s upcoming album, Kill the King, is expected to be his last. Back in 2017, he revealed that he was nearing the end of his career.
“I’m ready to get the hell outta [the rap game],” he said on The Breakfast Club. “I got this next album, I got three albums in my head I’ve already conceptualized. Once I get them out, I’m done.”
T.I. shared a new single for the upcoming project, earlier this week. “What It’s Come To” sees the legendary rapper address the allegations from over thirty women that accuse him and his wife of sexual assault, rape, drugging, and more.
We’re back with another one. How To Roll has been one of our most popular video series for years and today, we’ve got a new episode with Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based rapper OBN Jay, who stopped by to unpack his smoking preferences, his favorite strains, and much more.
The “Big Ole” rapper went the classic route, picking out a pack of Backwoods and getting started on his rolling process. Smoking on Rainbow Sky from Cookies, OBN Jay revealed that his two favorite strains are likely Skittles and Gushers. Clearly, he’s got a sweet tooth that extends to his smoke sesh. “They’re sweet and they’re indicas,” he said, explaining why he likes them the most. As for what you won’t catch him smoking, Jay says he isn’t a fan of OG strains. “That shit make you go to sleep,” he said.
OBN Jay started smoking regularly in middle school, telling us that it helped him cope with family issues. “I wasn’t smoking much at all,” he admitted, saying that he often hung around older kids who were smoking weed, asking for puffs here and there.
Watch the full episode of How To Roll above and let us know who you want to see on the show next.
Those looking for a silky smooth R&B banger for the start of the Summer should look no further than Milwaukee singer-songwriter and rapper K Camp’s new release “Game Ain’t Free.” The singer returns to his signature sound with this new single, floating melodically through a simple yet smooth 808-driven R&B beat. K Camp seamlessly transitions between intimate vocal melodies and fast-paced bar spitting between thumping 808 hits, proving that there is no downtime or empty space with his versatility.
The song finds K Camp reaching out to his one and only and giving himself to her. Not only can he not get enough of his partner, but his attraction to her is so overwhelming that it drives him to frustration. This single follows the release of his soulful “Life Has Changed” collaboration with PNB Rock that has racked up over 2 million streams since it dropped in April. These two singles back-to-back cement K Camp as someone to watch this year as he rises to the top of the R&B and rap game.
Check out the song below as well as our R&B SEASON Playlist on Spotify.
Every time that you walk past, that’s me, hey
Let’s go shopping I got cash, that’s me, hey
See that Lambo driving fast, that’s me, aye
Penning game but this shit ain’t free, aye
He got bands but I know he ain’t me, aye
Following the release of “Money on Me,” which dropped earlier this week, Russ wastes no time with a follow-up. His new single “Lucky” is a track perfect for the beginning of the summer. Over a self-produced instrumental, he reflects on how lucky he is to be with his current main squeeze. “Let’s go to Rome, maybe let’s just stay home, Baby, except we popping and everyone knows,” he sings, IG captions in the making. “Pictures in France, then we fly to Japan / Baby, except we popping and everyone knows.”
Russ has consistently been dropping new heat ever since he went independent in 2020, and following the release of his album Shake the Snow Globe, he’s been on a roll. He makes it a point to emphasize how artists should believe in themselves and not fall prey to record labels that are eager to take advantage of those on the rise.
Earlier this year, the “Ride Slow” rapper also launched his own cannabis company aimed at artists who spend long hours in the studio. He partnered with WonderBrett to release the marijuana line CHOMP. Russ has also rescheduled his Shake the Snow Globe Tour for 2022.
I wanna spend all my minutes on you
I wanna go to the top of the moon
I wanna take every second I can
Showing you gently just how lucky I am
Rap crooner Tory Lanez is leaving any past issues exactly in the past. The hip-hop singer has stepped up to assure concerned fans there’s zip-zero hatred or anger in his heart even after getting accused of shooting his ex-girlfriend Megan Thee Stallion and blasting her on records.

The Covid-19 pandemic has introduced an onslaught of issues as workplaces and conference rooms have transitioned to Zoom meetings and FaceTime calls. Among the myriad of normal issues brought on by working at home, nobody could have anticipated the specific problem brought on by Jeffrey Toobin, who was caught masturbating during a staff meeting for the New Yorker. Though he has been vacant from his positions since October, Toobin reclaimed his role as CNN Chief Legal Contributor yesterday, marking his first official return to the news world.
“I have tried, and I am trying now, to say how sorry I am, sincerely, in all seriousness,” Toobin said upon his return to CNN, offering that he “didn’t think anyone else could see” him.
He then continued: “Above all, I am sorry to my wife and to my family but I am also sorry to the people on the Zoom call, I’m sorry to my former colleagues at the New Yorker, I’m sorry to my current, fortunately, still colleagues at CNN and I’m sorry to the people who read my work and who watched me on CNN and who thought I was a better person than this.”
Though it seems he may be making his gradual return to the spotlight, he is still largely estranged from the news community. Toobin was a lawyer and a government official until 1993 when he joined the New Yorker.
Do you think he should be forgiven? Let us know and check out his remarks below:
Coi Leray and Pressa have been showing off their love on social media, displaying all kinds of PDA after it was revealed that the “Attachments” collaborators started dating. As the rest of the world gets caught up on who Pressa is, the Toronto rapper continues to be the butt of the joke with fans claiming that they thought he was a girl at first.
Some of the most popular comments on Coi’s posts with Pressa are from dumbfounded fans who seemingly can’t believe that Pressa is a man. People are saying that because of the rapper’s feminine facial features, they were convinced that Coi was experimenting with another girl. Apparently, her ex-fling Blueface agrees with the majority of trolls making fun of Pressa, tweeting a subliminally-charged message that some believe is targeted toward Coi’s new man.
Coi and Blueface were previously romantically linked for a little while. Blue appeared to voice his thoughts on her new boyfriend, tweeting, “Dat n***a look like a bitch.” After fans realized he was probably talking about Pressa, the LA-based rapper added, “Y’all reachin smh I’m not talm bout that.”
Despite his explanation, people are still under the impression that he was talking about Pressa. What do you think? Was he throwing shade at his ex’s new man? Check out Coi and Pressa’s latest posts.
