(WARNING: Spoilers for this week’s Rap Sh!t episode will be found below.)

The events in the second episode of Max’s Rap Sh!t season two, titled “Heavy Traffic,” are soundtracked by songs that help to accentuate the emotions behind each scene. You can find a list of them below and details about the scenes the records were heard in.

Hood Brat, A.Chic, TT The Artist, Raedio — “Call Me Daddy”

We hear this record during the opening scene of “Heavy Traffic” as Shawna, Mia, Reina Reign, Duke, and Francois film a TikTok on their tour bus. The group shows off the bus and their new tour lifestyle to their followers with the video.

Smino — “Settle Down” Feat. Cory Henry & Ravyn Lenae

Smino’s Luv 4 Rent record plays around the 3:03 mark as Shawna & Mia get ready for their first performance. The duo is dressed in aprons as they believe that they’ll be matching Reina Reign, but Duke informs them that Reina will not be on theme with them which frustrates both Shawna and Mia.

Nardo Wick — “G Nikes” Feat. Polo G

Nardo Wick’s track with Polo G is heard around the 4:42 mark as we check in with Lamont and his daughter Melissa. Due to an early release from her school, and the unavailability of Lamont’s grandmother and Mia’s mom, Lamont is forced to bring Melissa to the studio with him as he works with an artist.

Reina Reign — “Tongue (Remix)” Feat. Shawna & Mia

Around the 6:38 mark, this track plays as Shawna & Mia take the stage with Reina Reign to perform their remix of “Tongue.” Though the performance went well, it’s clear that Shawna & Mia aren’t on the same page during this performance. Shawna, frustrated by how she and Mia looked on stage, confronts Mia about their performance, but it doesn’t go too well.

Raedio & Lord AK — “Suicide Mission”

We hear this song around the 13:08 mark as Lord AK goes on stage to begin his performance. Shawna, impressed, is in the crowd watching the performance before she’s pulled away by Duke and Mia to go to Lord AK’s green room.

Future — “Like Me” Feat. 42 Dugg & Lil Baby

Future’s I Never Liked You song plays around the 17:13 mark as Duke finally gets into Lord AK’s green room where the party is live and active. Duke meets one of Lord AK’s closest associates, Gat, and offers him some party favors to enhance his party experience.

Ron Suno — “Door”

This track plays around the 18:42 mark as Duke finds Shawna & Mia in the party. She’s clearly under the influence after taking a bit of cocaine with Gat. Duke launches into an energetic rant about making money and finding opportunities that leaves Shawna and Mia very confused.

Dear Silas — “Smoke” Feat. Sauce Father

Around the 19:45 mark, the track can be heard as Mia joins the fun of the party to play a game of flip cup with a gentleman we later find out to be Courtney Lou, the artist that Lamont told Mia to look out for. Meanwhile, Shawna stumbles into a few awkward moments at the party including one where she’s told that she gives “Rapsody vibes… if she was a hoe.”

Peachcurls — “Ass Shaker”

Peachcurls’ track can be heard around the 22:19 mark as the party in Lord AK’s room is still going strong. Shawna tries to talk to Gat but he pays her no mind. He instead kicks off a game where the winner will get to go on Lord AK’s tour bus. This game does nothing but show Gat’s colorism, and when Shawna calls him out for it and flexes her rap knowledge, he rudely sprays her with champagne.

Baby Rose — “Fight Club” Feat. Georgia Anne Muldrow

Baby Rose’s Through And Through highlight plays around the 28:27 mark to close the episode as Shawna cleans herself after she is showered with champagne by Gat. She’s also frustrated by the disconnect between her and Mia, something that only gets worse when Mia lets the crew know that she’ll fly into the next city because she got an offer to spend some time with Cash.

New episodes of ‘Rap Sh!t’ are available on Max on Thursday at 3am EST/ 12 pm PST.

Polo G’s Mom Stacia Mac Flaunts Her Gorgeous Date Night Fit In New Selfie

by

Stacia Mac, Polo G’s mother, has a bit of a reputation among hip-hop fans as a gorgeous woman who gets people feeling nervous in her comments. Sure, it’s normal to acknowledge that, but you’d be hard-pressed to not find something along the lines of “With all due respect to Polo” within her Instagram replies. Moreover, she recently posted a selfie showing off her look for a night out, and the Chicago rapper’s mom and manager looks stunning. It’s a beautiful and elegant fit, topped off with a leather jacket, and the responses reflect that. Props to her for working so hard and living her life in the process.

Furthermore, Stacia Mac has always been there for her son, through the most troubled and most triumphant parts of his life and career. For example, back in 2021, she bonded Polo G out of prison after an alleged altercation with a police officer. In addition, the 43-year-old is often boasting about his accomplishments and skills on social media, being as much of a caring business partner as a loving mom always ready to embarrass her little boy. But don’t let that lead you into believing she doesn’t have endeavors of her own to nurture.

One of these is Stacia Mac’s Geffen Records partnership to create a new entertainment company, House of Legends. “When I got into management with Polo G, I always knew I wanted to grow but also understood the importance of timing,” she expressed of this move back in 2021. “ODA Management grew into ODA Records and I’m so excited to now launch a new company in partnership with Geffen Records. I’ve long been committed to developing talent and this serves as another platform for me to do so with independent artists. Lee and his team are incredible partners who bring tremendous expertise and equally committed to nurturing creators. I’m confident this partnership will be fruitful.”

Meanwhile, she’s also been able to reflect on the choices that led her and her son to this moment. The Chicago native remarked this year that she didn’t force Polo to get a job back when he was younger. It’s wild to see just how fruitful and successful they’ve been together. On that note, come back to HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Stacia Mac and her son and artist, Polo G.

Polo G Gives $10K to Each Cast Member of His “Barely Holdin’ On” Video

Polo G Delivers New Video for "Barely Holdin' On" | The Source

Polo G is showing love to the cast of his “Barely Holdin’ On” music video. A source caught up to TMZ Hip-Hop and revealed the Chicago legend dropped off $10,000 to everyone who helped create the video.

Involved in the video are Diana, an organ transplant survivor; a single mother named Bobbi, Deon, a substance abuse survivor; and Willie, a 12-year-old gunshot victim-turned-paraplegic basketball player.

“It was an emotional roller coaster for many,” said the video’s director SixTwentySix’s Arrad. “Nobody was expecting to get the cash at the end. It was a huge surprise and everyone was in complete denial! Polo was very generous and wanted to make sure he could thank each and every person – he expressed his gratitude multiple times and gave them all the cash at the end. It was extremely nice and heartwarming of him.”

Last month, Polo G unveiled the captivating music video for his latest single, “Barely Holdin’ On.” The poignant video delivered an emotionally charged visual experience.

The video’s narratives were thoughtfully chosen by Polo himself, featuring real individuals grappling with genuine struggles. This deliberate decision reflects Polo’s commitment to authenticity, highlighting their everyday challenges and triumphs.

“Barely Holdin’ On” is the lead single from Polo G’s highly anticipated forthcoming album, HOOD POET, which will arrive via Columbia Records.

Why Was Polo G’s ‘Hood Poet’ Delayed?

“Barely Holdin’ On” rapper Polo G has quickly become one of the leaders of rap’s new school. Since the release of his debut album, Die A Legend, in 2019, the Chicago native hasn’t deviated from his annual tradition of dropping a new project for fans. However, that could change this year. So, why is Polo G’s forthcoming album, Hood Poet, being delayed?

On August 12, Polo G took to his official Instagram page to announce the album (which at the time was scheduled for Friday, September 15) via a new diamond necklace with accent lavender stones, an elaborate pendant, and other tricked-out personal modifications made by IceBox Diamonds & Watches. However, by September 9, he stunned fans when he revealed that the project was no longer dropping.

Yesterday (September 14), in an exchange on X (formerly Twitter), Polo G gave supporters more insight into why he ultimately decided to delay the album. When asked outright by a follower, Polo G replied, “[I] was going through some sh*t, gang. We are still pushing [forward] though. You know that.”

Although Polo G did not state specifics, the sh*t he’s referring to could be tied to his recent arrest (August 23) on alleged kidnapping, robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon charges. If Polo G is tied up in a legal battle of this magnitude, it would greatly hinder his ability to tour and travel for press.

Following the incident, Polo G’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, released a statement regarding his arrest. Read the complete statement below.

“The incident surrounded someone staying in Polo’s home and not Polo directly. The officers have detained Polo to ‘verify’ that he is not a convicted felon, as they assert a firearm was found in the home. It is widely known that Polo is not a convicted felon and never was a convicted felon. I personally got all his charges in Miami dismissed when he was, in our opinion, wrongfully arrested and charged. They have refused to allow us access to our client, which is also an illegal and unethical practice, and someone will have to answer for these new wrongful actions. We are hopeful the LAPD will handle this matter with tact and transparency.”

Polo G’s New Album ‘Hood Poet’: Everything To Know Including The Release Date, Tracklist & More

Is Polo G’s album Hood Poet ever going to be released? That’s what fans are asking after he was reportedly arrested on Wednesday, August 23, on charges of kidnapping, robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon. Although his lawyer has since issued a statement declaring his innocence, supporters are still concerned that the long-anticipated project will be shelved as he deals with the incident.

Polo G’s older post on X (former Twitter) suggesting that he will be bowing out of rap music soon certainly doesn’t ease their worries. “Honestly, after my ‘Hood Poet’ album, I’m considering retiring from music. So I appreciate everybody ridin’ for me tenfold,” he wrote.

Here’s everything we know about Polo G’s Hood Poet.

Release Date

Details surrounding the potential release date are shaky. Hood Poet was initially slated to be released on Friday, September 15. However, due to his ongoing legal issues, it seems Polo G decided to push it back. He shared an update in a since-deleted post on his Instagram page, screen captured by Daily Loud.

“Wanted to tap back in and let y’all know I’mma be postponing my album drop ’til further notice… just getting back on track from a minor setback,” Polo G wrote. “I’ll be updating y’all and dropping new music soon. [I know] y’all been waiting on me, and I appreciate the ones who show genuine support, but it’ll be worth the wait. I promise.”

However, according to the projected date listed on Apple Music, Hood Poet is set to hit streaming platforms before the year’s end.

Hood Poet is out soon via Columbia Records. Find more information here.

Tracklist

The tracklist for Hood Poet hasn’t been revealed yet. On the Apple Music listing for the album, the platform suggests that the project will feature 18 songs in total. See the confirmed song titles and their order on the tracklist below.

Weapons Seized During Polo G’s Arrest Revealed In Leaked Photo

by

We were surprised to hear word of Polo G’s arrest after his Southern California home was raided earlier this week. Since then, the updates we’ve received have caused concern to grow among the Chicago native’s fanbase. Some seem unsure of the rapper’s ability to beat the illegal weapon possession charge he was booked on. Upon searching Polo’s home, the LAPD told TMZ that they recovered multiple firearms. Since then, a leaked photo reveals that the 24-year-old may have had some serious firepower locked and loaded at his residence.

Among the guns in the photo are rifles, machine guns, pistols, a shotgun, a suppressor, and a pair of switches. As previously revealed in a police report, the reason for the raid on Polo’s place was due to a report placed earlier in the month regarding a robbery. At the time, Trench Baby allegedly robbed a man at gunpoint in Granada Hills while filming a music video. The father of one doesn’t seem to be directly connected to that. Still, he was booked for illegal possession of the short-barreled rifle that Trench used in the robbery.

Police Reportedly Recover Multiple Weapons from Polo G’s Residence

“Two switches, a suppressor, illegal mags, and an automatic rifle. Good luck beating this I’ll be bumping the older albums,” one fan speculated on social media. Interestingly, Polo did just hint at feeling ready to retire from the music industry after his upcoming album. Hopefully, that decision won’t be a forced one due to a prison sentence regarding his latest legal woes.

While the internet suggests he may have a hard time beating these charges, Polo G thankfully has one of the best celebrity attorneys on his side. Bradford Cohen shared a statement on the situation earlier this week, and will likely keep us updated as more information about his client’s case becomes available. Read what the lawyer had to say to the press at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Following the raid on Polo G’s Los Angeles mansion earlier this week which resulted in the Chicago slang spitter’s arrest for weapons possession and his brother, Trench Baby, being charged with armed robbery.

The LAPD says that the raid stemmed from an armed robbery that occurred in Grenada Hills on August 15, where Trench Baby was accused of robbing a videographer scheduled to shoot a music video that day. It is alleged that he told the man to empty his pockets and even made him wire money to him into bank account.

When Trench Baby was arrested, police found a small baggy of unknown drugs in his pockets. Polo was arrested for illegally possessing a short barrel rifle that was found in his home during the raid.

Both men were released on bond on Thursday, but were both immediately rearrested by Burbank Police for a separate incident. TheSource.com will update the story of their rearrest as more details develop.

Polo G‘s Los Angeles home was raided by police on Wednesday (August 23) for a search in connection to a robbery. The rapper’s lawyer Bradford Cohen later shared a statement saying the search was only conducted to “verify” that Polo G isn’t a convicted felon. Now, though, the story continues.

XXL reported today (August 24) that last night, Polo G and his brother, rapper Trench Baby, were arrested for kidnapping, robbery, and assault charges. He was taken into custody and booked by the Burbank, California Police Department.

A spokesperson for the Burbank Police Department told the publication, “Last night, Mr. Taurus Bartlett (Polo G) and his brother, Mr. Taurean Bartlett (Trench Baby), were arrested and booked on kidnapping, robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon charges. The charges stem from a report filed in April of this year in which Taurus and Taurean Bartlett were listed as suspects.”

The statement continued, “Once Mr. Taurus and Taurean Bartlett were released from LAPD’s custody on unrelated charges, Burbank PD investigators were standing by to take them into custody on the Burbank case. They were taken into custody without incident and have since been released on $100,000 bail. Formal charges are pending review by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.”
